Lloyd Philadelphia

Whiskey, cocktails, & fine fare

Cara from Philadelphia

About me I am a photographer living in the Fishtown section of Philadelphia. I am extremely passionate about good food, singing, antiques, going on adventures with friends, and loving my cats.

""Lloyd" Philadelphia is my bar of choice when I need a stiff scotch (80+ types) or a finely crafted cocktail. The style definitely makes me feel at home."

When in need of a stiff scotch or a finely crafted cocktail, I find myself rapidly making my way towards Lloyd, Fishtown's best whiskey bar. Inside, the style is of the owner's childhood living room and certainly carries a vibe that makes me feel at home. The staff is very accommodating and friendly, which helps in working your way through the extensive (80+) whiskey list. This process is assisted by offerings of sweet deals on whiskey flights.

While the drinks are a draw, the real reason to go is for the insane food options. These guys are always whipping up something new and intriguing. I love the inexpensive bar snacks, like the Zucchini-Potato Fritters and the Shrimp and Grits. My dish of choice right now, the Lloyd Platters, come with a protein and 2 sides. My favorite combo is the Pulled Pork, Spicy Collard Greens with Bacon, and Southern Potato Salad. Lloyd also has the Lloyd Burger, dressed with muenster cheese, pickled red onion, lettuce, tomato, and pickles, between stacks of brioche.

Lloyd hosts Happy Hour Monday - Friday 4-6pm. The weekly special includes $6 wines, $6 cocktails, $6 appetizers, $1 off drafts & Lloyd's Citywide.

Night Kitchen

The best bakery in Chestnut Hill

How "Night Kitchen" get its cinnamon rolls to absorb so much butter is one of the great mysteries of Philadelphia. It's my favorite bakery in Chestnut Hill.
