    Its latest iteration is a cozy bar putting out a menu full of New Orleans flavors that are consistently tremendous. The menu is just as friendly to vegans as it is to meat-eaters. [Eater 38 Member]

    Wasn't sure what I was getting myself into when looking for vegan food. Boy was I surprised! All options were clearly marked and there were plenty of items to choose from. Delicious. Recommend.

    The wings are brined, smoked, grilled, then fried. These juicy lil bastards make my mouth water. I go for the combo, but my favorite are the habanero.

    Good place to find Cajun/southern food. Bartender was super cool. Think his name was Rich. I'll be back.

    If you're looking for a great place to get delicious food and a beer in Old City, definitely come here. They always have a wide variety of beers on tap and their BBQ is amazing.

    The po'boys will feed even the hungriest diner. I get three meals out of one. The bartenders and servers are great and have low turn over. They will remember you (for better or worse!)

    Pulled pork? Yes please. Ribs? Yes, I think I'll have those too. Chicken? How can I say no? Maybe a little brisket too? Fine, but no more after that. Oh, and maybe just a little mac-n-cheese. ;)

    Pulled Pork nachos are the best nachos I've ever had in my life! Sweet potato fries with debri are also pretty delish. Not for those on a diet

    Staking its claim as Philly’s “best beer bar”, they’re running 20 taps w/ serious suds like Russian River Damnation, and North Coast Brother Thelonius. Bonus: Great daily specials. Read more

    Khyber has one of the best beer lists—anywhere. And it’s continually changing. And I love a place that serves brunch until 4 PM!

    Vegan BBQ "pulled pork" nachos rock! Did I mention the awesome bartender knew the history of the place? Did I mention my MOM drank here when she was my age? #HistoryNerd

    Vegan sausage + Yards IPA + good music + dark atmosphere at the bar. These are a few of my favorite things. (F*ck whiskers on kittens.)

    Southern-inspired fare like fried chicken, barbecue ribs and po’ boys of every variety are paired with an impressive beer list at this rock-club-turned-pub.

    I snuck into the Khyber as a teenager to see live music. So if you're a kid that's underage and wants to check out a Classic Philly Music Venue.. with a great tap list.. Try and sneak in :)
