AG Jameson’s U S Hotel Bar and Grill

The food isn’t anything to write home about but the beer is cheap and the bartenders are friendly. Great place to have a couple drinks and watch a game.

When we first got there my one friends glass of water was filthy there was some visibly green stuff on the inside of his glass, however my friend is kind and just wiped it down. We were never given menus and after waiting for awhile my other friend just grabbed them. When the food came out my friends meal came with tots but they did not come out so he had to wait a minute. My meal was missing ketchup, and We never got silverware lol. Before I asked for ketchup I had to wait a good amount of time just to get someones attention. Its small stuff and I know its stupid but every little thing adds up to an uncomfortable feeling. The staff should do a better job checking orders before bringing them out like in repetition you should know what comes with what. Getting refills was near impossible and If we never flagged anyone down I dont think we were ever approached after ordering. So the service was kind of terrible however I wont 1 star it because the girl was alone and had alot of tables but thats not the only thing off. The menu was really bland there was like 10 things to choose from all the same ingredients just in different forms and for a brunch prices weren’t very favorable to say the least. The food was good but the wait was long but as for taste it was enjoyable. Portion size was whatever. My tots bowl wasn’t even entirely full if anything it looked like someone ate a few when It came to me lol We had to wait a long time for the check we had to flag someone down to even get it not mention flagging someone down to pay it. I feel bad for our waitress I’d say just correct the problems by hiring someone to take the pressure off her and do a little better job checking things before bringing them out and check on tables more frequently.

Amazing!!! Food was fresh and fast-​service was friendly! This is about to become a staple!!!

Boneless chicken wings? Ugh NO try super gross Bbq sauce. Waste of money, and worse the chicken gave its life for nothing. Please don’t eat there !

Came here for St. Patrick’s Day this year. They served us green beer and gave us green hats and necklaces which totally made my day. Place is a bit small so it got a bit cramped when it started getting busier. Very easy to get served quickly and my friends and I had a great time here!

Amazing place. Food and drink specials are the best around! Watching a sports game? Go watch at the US hotel!

Best Brunch around! cannot beat the awesome food and service! Also enjoyed the fries and the chicken gouda sandwich! If you are on Main Street be sure to check it out!

Finally knocked this place off my list! I normally head the other way down Main Street and always forget that US Hotel is in the opposite direction. Few weeks ago while brunching elsewhere, I saw the chalkboard outside that said $ 1 mimosas so I made a mental note to try this place sometime soon!
So we stopped in for brunch the other day. Typical Manayunk pub — a little on the small side but didn’t matter since there weren’t many people in the place. We sat at the bar and the bartender was nice, friendly, and engaging.
Only saw the brunch menu and they definitely had quite a few good looking options. Of course, had to get the bacon gouda tots which were amazing and could hold their own against my love of Lucky’s tots. The tots were still super crispy even though they were smothered in cheese and the bacon pieces were ginormous — actual cut up bacon and not bacon bits. Definitely get these if you have the chance! I ended up with the breakfast quesadilla which was great with the Sriracha ketchup, totally right up my alley! The serving of tots was pretty large so I didn’t eat much of the quesadillas, but they made for some good leftovers later on.
And seriously, you can’t go wrong with $ 1 mimosas. I don’t think I’ve seen them that cheap at any other bar in Manayunk! They also have $ 2 bloody Marys if you feel like going in that direction as well.
I’d be interested to see what other food options they have outside of brunch. Will definitely remember this place as an option for sure!

This place is small but one of my favorite bar/​restaurants in Manyunk. Great drink specials and the food is AMAZING. I have dreams about their signature fries with the assortment of dipping sauces. Who doesn’t love multiple dips? Their buffalo chicken dip is awesome too, and this place really is just a great staple in Manyunk. Thank you US Hotel!

Don’t judge this place on its appearance. It may look «divey» at first but go in, try the food, and enjoy the comfortable, casual atmosphere. Good service, great food, brunch is AMAZING, and this is probably the best place to watch sports on Main St. I have been here several times and it’s always fun. Sunday brunch followed by football makes a great way to end your weekend. Try the Early Angry Bird sandwich on the brunch menu. It’s soooo good!

Went here for a beer after a soccer tournament. Ended up staying 3 hours had a great time. Awesome brunch specials highly recommend the early bird sandwich.

The honey siracha wings were divine. I highly recommend them. If you’re looking to have a lazy Sunday, but also go out for a bit this is a great spot. Plenty of tvs and great atmosphere.

Their brunch is out of this world! It’s not your typical brunch menu. They have about 15 – 20 options that they’ve put their own twist on. Everything our table ordered was great! Must try the Gouda and bacon tots, bacon, egg, and cheesesteak, and the early angry bird sandwich. Can’t wait to go back and try other stuff! They have great drink specials too…$ 1 mimosas and $ 2 bloodys! Definitely check this place out!

You must come here and try the brunch! The food is amazing and it’s a great chill place to watch the game. Early Angry bird and bacon egg cheesesteak are a must. $ 1 mimosas, $ 2 bloody Mary’s :) also the first quarter for the eagles games they offered FREE wings.

A sham I tell you; a sham!
You know those bars that give you bad service because your table doesn’t order alcohol, well by all means if I were to guess US Hotel is one of them. Went in here with a party of Unilocalers, on a quiet off night, and just wanted to enjoy a dinner without the need to imbibe. Mind you US Hotel has some pretty great food.
We placed our orders, and I warned my friends that the kitchen is damn slow, but the food is worth the wait. The food took a long time to come out as usual, and we were all fine and dandy eating our food. However, when it came to the time for us to get the check we had to hunt down the bartender who was more interested in using his phone than providing service. When my girlfriend went to nicely ask for the check, after waiting nearly 20 minutes for it, his response was abrasive.
We got the check, prepared our payment, and waited another 10 minutes for…, the guy that has worked there for years I may add, still playing away on his phone, ignoring the bar. After 10 minutes I went to the bar to have him cash us out. He did go ahead and tab out our order, to only drop off our check at the end of the bar, instead of handing it to me.
Pishaw, passive aggressive behavior is the quickest way to have unhappy behaviors and US Hotel has proved very effective doing such.

Went here for a happy hour. They had no real drink special that day… Surprising to say the least. And we were hitting a bit of a snag because folks attempted at ordering specific beers listed on the menu that weren’t available for whatever reason. so their draft beer menu was slim that particular day. BUT we still ordered some drinks and noshed on their selections of fries… one was a poutine. and «dry» fries were ordered too. The (big) basket of dry fries came with like 5 different dipping sauces, which was awesome! Overall experience for happy hour is good. I would go back there again for a happy hour situation. I would have to go back to really sample their full food menu. I do hear good things about the food…

On a Friday evening out with friends, the group decided that we were tired of the same old haunts and decided to try something different. We walked into US Hotel and it was pretty quiet, so we had our pick of the seats. We knew that the kitchen would probably be pretty slow, even though there weren’t too many people in the bar, but we each ordered food around 8:30 PM because we were hungry.
We were right to expect that the kitchen would be slow, but we were happy once our food came out. The chicken cutlet sandwich got the spot, and came with a nice-​sized piece of breaded chicken, some spinach, and cheese. The macaroni salad was also tasty, if a bit bland. Overall an A-​OK place, except for the service.
However, the server couldn’t be bothered to pay attention to us and preferred to talk to the bartender or scroll on his phone. We had to ask for the check twenty minutes after our plates were cleared and were shortly brushed off when we did. It was another fifteen minutes before we left because the server kept getting distracted by other things.

Generous pours, nice bartender. Very kind to those over thirty who like to be carded.

Grabbed dinner in a summer Friday night, food and drinks were great and service was amazing! Pricing was very reasonable and will be suggesting this place to friends. Cannot wait to come back!

This is actually really good bar food. They have a lot of good things on the menu. The bar in there is awesome. It’s been there since 1900 and I love to drink at it and think of all the generation who drank there as well.

Update; I was reached out to about my situation of being not let in with my NY id. It was very thoughtful for the owner to reach out to me, apologize, and explain the situation. I do always have a great time at US Hotel; and will attempt to return again!

The food was okay, the service was ridiculous.
We were there early enough that we were literally the only people in the place. But as soon as two bimbos came in the douchebag running the show completely ignored us.
Won’t go again.

First bar in Manayunk. Pretty small. Food is decent but nothing that stands out that much. Have to go as part of Manayunk history

Who doesn’t love a good, trustworthy, local dive bar? Good wing specials on Thursday nights, good beer selection and deals. The food is good for what you would expect — cheese steaks, sandwiches, fries — not your heart healthy place but when you feel like being bad, watching a game and having some drinks this place always does the trick.
I mostly love 1. the neighborhood feel of it, it seems worlds away from the college cluster f*** that is kildares, and 2. Its a Jamison bottle house, which means you can purchase your own bottle of Jamison and take it off their shelf whenever you want, its a pretty good deal when you figure how much shots cost and if you’re a Jamison fan, plus its different and a nice little novelty.
