Was walking by from work on any normal Tuesday afternoon when I saw a sign for $2 Taco Tuesday, I was hungry and intrigued about this cheap yet enticing offer from this bar in the heart of the Gayborhood. I walked in, it was calm. A couple of customer here and there, the bartender (wish I knew his name) greeted me, asked me what I wanted, I told him my order. Few minutes later, received my 4 (eventually 5) $2 tacos composed of either chipotle chicken or beef on flour tortillas (sorry gluten free peeps 🥺) I will say as a half Mexican man I was surprised with how tasty the food was and the bartender was super nice and made sure my coke was refilled and I had enough lemons to shower my tacos. Overall especially on a Tuesday, definitely come here! Will do so also 🥳

I really liked it here ... walked in without knowing anyone and met a lot of nice guys and had a great time I drank and ate and laughed the entire evening evening. ... I was totally impressed with Sammy from the kitchen ... he came out and checked with me to make certain i did not have a food allergy to onions because I ordered nachos with no pickled onions. (he's awesome).

Really great private bathroom. You can #2 in peace here if you use the bathroom that has the picture of the shy couple on the front. The bar service was great too!

Building up the atmosphere for cater to the ethnic community I really appreciate that. The food is so delicious the timing can take longer if there's other orders orders before yours but you will definitely get it hot and fresh. This is the only place that I know that you can get a solid cocktail. Meaning by solid strong and not played over with we were too much for our money and this is the best place to go in the neighborhood

Awesome! We stopped here on the way home to New York from DC, and were super glad we did! The atmosphere was great, the bartender was super friendly and the people were so nice. Glad to say we made some new friends! Drinks were stiff, too. :]

A bunch of wonderful, beautiful, kind people here. Strong, tasty, drinks at a good price! Thank you U Bar staff and security for reuniting me with my lost phone/wallet right before my flight home. Philly continues to endear and amaze me ❤️❤️❤️ Sincerely, A very disorganized, but home safe, Californian 🤦☺️
