Crafty’s Tap Room

The setting and beer selection are great. The food is good for bar food but won’t blow you away. The setting is great in that it’s a quiet calm bar where you can sit down and appreciate one of their 20 craft beers on the menu. I’ve been here 3 times, had 3 good meals and 3 different beer menus, all 3 meals I have left happy.
Craftys lives up to the name in that they have the best craft beer selection on tap in the northeast.

Best craft in town music food n excellent bartenders Mike and Missy fast keep my party happy by keeping our beers yummy cold and filled

With twenty taps open at any given time, their beer list is impressive. In fact, you can find almost anything you’re looking for here. They keep a good variety rolling in and often being out some nice seasonal brews as well. Their prices are average for craft beer pints in the Northeast, and if you want you can order some food from the Brick House kitchen next door. Their food is good enough pub food but nothing great. Expect the usuals you’d think of on their food menu.
I have to say the atmosphere here is a bit strange. There is rarely anyone here, ever! You can actually get a seat at the bar on a Saturday night, a feat that is nearly impossible anywhere else in the city. Normally this would be a good thing, but something feels a little off here. The staff are good at their job but obviously seem a bit bored, and are probably miffed that they didn’t get to tend bar over at Brick House instead, with its many loyal patrons. Crafty’s is always dead, so even for the customer it can feel a little creepy.
I give them props for their beer list, and also for being unique in their neck of the woods. It’s not my favorite bar, but when I want a cold pint of beer and a quiet atmosphere I know I can come here.

I like the staff, and I like the owner. I like the décor. The bathrooms are clean. The beer selection is very eclectic. I usually discover a good beer or two whenever I come here. The food is quite good. I hate to write this online, because it’s going to hurt my chances of getting food quickly if they become too popular, but this is hands down the best pizza in Northeast Philadelphia.
There is no contest. I would say Vince’s Pizza a little farther down Grant Avenue, while quite good, is a distant second place.
So, two reasons why I’m only giving it 4 stars…
It’s a shared kitchen with the Brick House, but when I take food out, I can’t order the pretzels if I go to the takeout counter (located between Crafty’s and the Brick House). I need those pretzels, guys! Please add them onto the take out menu.
There are a lot of younger families around this neighborhood. Maybe not quite hipsters, but people who like to drink weird beers and who also sometimes have kids with them. They really should add a high chair or two to the dining room. I won’t be able to stop my boy from running straight at your giant Jenga set if you don’t get me a high chair for him! You’ve been warned. He will not reset the pieces. He is a menace.
Other than that, I am completely happy with this place, and am very grateful it’s in my neighborhood.

I really like this place. They have a great beer list and good food. Only thing missing is outdoor seating, but that isn’t feasible given their location.

Given its distance to where I work, I usually find a reason to visit the Brickhouse at least once every other week for a cold one. They have a decent craft selection in bottles. So when I heard they were taking their large dining space next store and converting it to a Craft Taproom I was thrilled.
I checked it out opening night and was satisfied. I think they had 20 different crafts on tap. You still have access to the bottle selection as well, so you are bound to find what you are looking for. It wasn’t too difficult to get a bartenders attention while I was there, but I did leave relatively early. I’ll be back and confirm, but based on my experiences with Brickhouse, service won’t be an issue.
Net-​Net. Beer loves, especially craft hunters, should have a solid new home.

My husband and two cousins went yesterday. It’s nice in there, great atmosphere, clean and comfortable.
I ordered the chicken Caesar salad. It was good with fresh croutons that were crunchy and soft enough to bite into easily which I like. The only thing is that it was drowning in dressing. The rest of our party was pleased with their food as well.
They have a ton of craft beers on tap which made my husband extremely happy. His only problem was deciding on which ones to order!
I would go back here.

This place is amazing. 20 beers on tap, live music, and a huge bottle select. Only downside is no domestics. Some of my friends aren’t the biggest craft beer drinkers so it would be nice if they had that option. Otherwise I hope this place takes off!

It’s a nice chill place to try new craft beers. They have 20 on tap and like 100 in bottles! Great place to hang. Great French fries!!!

Just opened. This is a great addition to the neighborhood! Awesome line up of craft beers. They have local options (Yards, NCBC, DFH), as well as solid selections from Stone, Founders, etc. No macro stuff here. Seems they’re trying to keep all those at Brick House next door.
The food menu is small but I expect that is because they just opened. Still lots of solid choices regardless. Definitely looking forward to seeing how they do at this spot!
