Saint Lazarus

Food has been amazing ever since the new chef took over. Fried chicken wings, Korean fried chicken wings, and buffalo wings are all amazing. Great happy hour specials too. Will return again soon.

My favorite place for cheap drinks and awesome djs. Make sure to check out the new menu! Those wings, the ipa mac and cheese were dope. Great staff too! Much love to kait and rasheed!

This used to be my favorite place to go after work, it used to be a corner where you could enjoy a beer on happy hour. Now they changed all the bartenders out, they got rid of the happy hour, they play nothing but club music (I have nothing against it but its annoying after awhile). Who wants to pay $ 4 for a Lager when it used to be 1.50 on happy hour. They have nothing but crafts on draft. You used to be able to get a Pabst pitcher for $ 2 for happy hour. I know it seems like I’m just upset about the happy hour but believe me the place wants to be a club but no matter what it’s a dive bar.

Their new chef Tommy is on point with his food! It doesn’t look like a food spot, but looks are deceiving. The Mac and cheese and wings are out of this world. Its an eclectic spot catering to locals and hipsters. If you haven’t been go, if you haven’t been in the last year go again. The staff rocks! Especially with Janay and Kait behind the bar. The drinks specials, beer list and food continuously grow and the music spans the gambit for everyone!

Tommy is the chef here and he is a nice and phenomenal person. He welcomes you with a smile and gives you personal service. You can order inside the bar area or go around the corner and order up at the outdoor window.
I ordered the wings, and the they taste great. You get them fresh and the seasoning is great too. I will definitely come back here to order the burger next time.

Back home in Philly and this is the first «dive bar» I’m taken to which is very interesting on the inside. You have the 90s vibe with the incense burning, neon lights, bad art work, the tiny bathroom with an urinal /​toilet combo & a vast selection of music all on a Wednesday night.
So Happy Hour is from 9pm-​11pm, I swear my drink prices kept increasing depending on the bartender as the night went on too. Either way they have a decent selection of beer and as the night goes on they have a dj that appears. I’ll be back to this place very very soon and soak in more of its atmosphere of casual chill.

Tommy should feel proud of his fried chicken! Hands down some of the best chicken wings I’ve ever had. Oh and those gravy fries are devilishly delicious! Even though its not the healthiest of foods, I didn’t feel like a total sloth afterwards. Im only dreaming of the next time I can dive into those gravy fries again. I envy those who live near by. Though they have a sweet to go window for easy pick up. I totally recommend this place if you’re feeling sinfully gluttonous. Sacred + Delicious = Sacrilcious. :)

I came by this bar this past weekend to grab a quick drink before heading to my dinner reservation across the street. The interior of this place was super interesting and original, I’m a fan! I love that they have Not Your Father’s root beer. I took a quick glance at the menu and saw they have Korean Fried Chicken Wings and apparently original Fried Wings. I’m definitely going to have to come back to try!

Phenomenal chicken and some of the best collard greens I’ve ever had. Definitely check this place out, and there’s even a Togo window so you don’t have to deal with the bar crowd.

The new chef, Tommy Hogunz, makes some of the BEST fried chicken I have EVER had. The herbs and spices he uses gives it such a distinct and wonderful flavor. I can’t wait to try other menu items!!!
PS: Try the hand cut fries! SO good.

Great drink specials, awesome bartenders, and sick music. One of my favorite places to hang in NoLibs.

Haven’t been able to write a review in awhile. My iPhone broke and I didn’t download the Unilocal app! I have had plenty of check ins here. This place is great ! You have to checkout Thursday nights 90′‘s Quiznos night. The best in the city

One of the grimiest places I have ever been to in my city. I’d mention about the tasteless music but I guess music can be a subjective sentiment. One of the times the bathroom smelled like legit burnt hair.
All-​around bad vibes all the times I’ve been there.
Cheers.

I typically dont write Unilocal reviews unless a place is really really terrible or really really awesome. This bar falls in the latter category. Went in on tuesday and it was a really relaxed chill and friendly vibe. I had my first pickleback there! 5 bux not bad. They had about eight drafts selection i believe. There was a dj playing some hip hop. The dudes bathroom had a urinal that went all the way to the floor like a spanish style fountain. It was really cool (i may have been a bit drunk because that urinal was awe-​inspiring.) really chill good vibe all around. But heres the best part: the bartenders were awesome (chalk and carlita) and fun to kick it with. I had a great conversation with them. The theme/​décor of the bar is cool as f%#k Such a unique rad concept. Some people really dont get the theme (its not heavyhanded but pretty obvious if you look at the name.) the theme is actually really cool and successful. This is one of my new favorite bars. Unfortunately i didnt see any voodoo stuff… Maybe i missed it or maybe that word just gets thrown around way too much to describe religions that have been sensationalized by the media. Anyways… there was some catholic and/​or santeria type stuff there… Depending on which way you wanna read that. I loved the native american mural, buddha heads, candles, saints etc. theres a ton of stuff on the walls to look at when your there by yourself. The vibe is a little hood, a little spiritual, one part neighborhood bar, three parts dive bar and a splash of class.. It looks like the inside of my house. Kinda like drinking in a church but cooler and yer less likely to get hit by a lightning bolt. I’ll be back for hip hop quizzo. Until then, cheers!

The Saint is the spot! Especially on Fridays for $tunt. GREAT MUSIC PLAYED. Not the same tired top 40 bullshit.
Cheap drinks, fun artwork on the walls. It’s always a good time. Not much to say but go here if you want to get loose. Only downfall is the dancefloor is small. It gets packed out real quick! Probably the only thing holding me back from giving it a 5.

Small spot but pretty cool place to chill at minus the dude taking my drink when I wasnt finished with it. But drinks were good deal and DJ was good

Pros: Inexpensive drinks, Really good music.
Cons: The place is small and gets crowded very easily, the bathrooms are disgusting.

I went here on $ 1 pbr night and got
Drunk real cheap. The bathrooms are tiny and probably out of toilet paper. Whatever. It’s a bar under the el, next to a dollar store and a strip club on girard ave. take it as you may.

Like another person said, this bar is strange. My friend Shante P and I were doing some bar hopping for my birthday. We were headed downtown so we decided to park at the huge free lot at 2^nd n Germantown and catch the El train down the street. As we were walking down, I suddenly needed to go to the bathroom. Sheesh. .with no place in sight really, we came across this place.
Let me just say, I am from the hood. Grew up in Hunting Park, go to some. shady places etc. But this place gave me the Damn creeps. There was a guy standing outside blocking the door and didn’t look like he wasn’t moving unless somebody made him so we used the side door.
Bartender was friendly. We ordered our usual drafts of PBR and I headed towards the bathroom. This «bathroom» was the size of a kindergartners cubby damn hole. It was clean though. Super dim light but clean and smelled okay. But me and my purse had issues fitting inside with the door closed.
So back to the bar. All of the crap on the walls from devils and angels to I think a photo of Rick Ross… huh? ?I was confused lol. I look up and see a kitchen menu on a blackboard. Food had promise but I didn’t even see a door leading to a kitchen. Uh no thanks.
The patrons… most of them were locals, guys just getting off from work etc. Friendly but not bothersome. At the table was the same guy from the door. Sitting there with his half of a beer that looked like. it’s been there all day along with multiple disposable cell phones, clearly this guy sells something in this bar. Along with the random folks walking in, speaking to him and leaving, uh yes something is exchanging hands and it ain’t directions.
So like I said, I like dives, shady places with good drinks. But I can’t frequent a bar that looks like a cross between a rap concert and a séance. And I don’t want to be in a place that allows dealers to conduct business.

Saint Lazarus seems like a throwback to what Northern Liberties bars used to be like at a time before I went to NoLibs bars (so I can only guess…). Neither craft brews nor innovative pub fare await you here. Actually, there’s no pub fare of any sort to speak of. You might, however, be allowed to bring in food from outside and enjoy it while sipping a Lager and chatting with friends, listening to music, or chatting with and listening to the voices in your own head (…I’ll try not to judge). They have both live music and DJs here, depending on night and time; on the Thursday I was here, they had both (sequentially, thankfully). The DJ can get quite loud.
The décor is, as South Park might put it, one half voodoo basement, one half Hagrid’s attic, and one half a hoarder’s closet. So if you happen to somehow find yourself trapped with non-​communicative companions (I was fortunate to not be), there is plenty to explore along the walls.
The crowd seemed like a variable mix of old-​timey drinkers, green-​horned hipsters, the lost, and even a few of the damned. Some of the former can get vociferous; provoke at your own peril.
