Bogart’s Bar & Grill

Unfortunately I found a long dark hair (the hair of the bartender girl) hanging from my mouth after my first bite into my burger. Ordered to-​go so didn’t bother returning it. Food is ok but apparently unclean. Atmosphere seemed a bit depressing inside, and business was slow for a friday afternoon. Probably a sign…

Food ok, how can you mess up turkey platter. service. rating 1 – 2 on scale of 5. don’t think we will go back again.

This place has really excellent food and some of the most amazing soup I’ve ever had, but the PRICES kill it. It’s standard Center City prices ($ 10-​$ 14 for a sandwich), but we’re in DelCo, it shouldn’t be that much. Everything comes with homemade chips, but if you want a different side, it’s an extra $ 2.00, which is pretty nuts. I understand for waffle fries, but for a cup of coleslaw or potato salad? Two bucks? Mashed potatoes, two bucks?
Also they make a big deal about having something like 42 beers on tap, but its 42 beers from like 6 different breweries (Yards, Fat Tire, Victory, Clown Shoes etc etc), so there really isn’t much variety. A ton of similar IPA’s, some Porters, and maybe a couple ciders.
The beer prices are not listed ANYWHERE and they tend to get expensive.
My beer, which is normally a $ 4.50-$ 5 dollar beer was $ 7.
And they have drink specials every night, but here’s the catch YOU HAVE TO BE SITTING AT THE BAR TO GET THE DRINK SPECIALS!
That’s a dumb idea.
Open the drink specials up to everyone and actually list your beer prices and maybe I’ll come back for your delicious lobster bisque.

Food is VERY good but it’s very expensive for BAR food. No children’s menu and our bill winded up being close to $ 100 for two adults and two children. It’s good but not very affordable.

Great selection of beer. Great burgers. And one phenomenal bartender, Megan! Thanks for a great time.

The beer menu is on point and the food is fantastic! I’m especially fond of the lobster bisque. It’s amazing.
However, I’m a little disappointed to say that we generally avoid the place because the prices are shockingly high for where you are and what you get.

Lots of beers an tap! Ask for Stephanie at the bar! Always happy to see you and remembers your drink of choice

Great food. Had steamers and a cheese steak egg roll. The food was amazing! Our bar tender was Mike Yost. He was so attentive and knew our orders before we could ask. Great time and will defiantly be there again!

Not a good night at Bogart’s. First wine was flat, then had to wait 45 minutes for my meal, a chicken wrap and sweet potato fries. Fries came out ice cold. Not up to their usual standards.

This is still my favorite place for a casual lunch and dinner. We are pretty much regulars now. I’ve been pleased with everything I’ve had.
I love the updated menu. There are so many new options now, including about 11 or more types of burgers and their burgers are probably the best I’ve ever had. I’m a little sad that the crab cakes were only on the menu during Lent though. Now I have to find a new crab cake place until next year during Lent. I love the homemade potato chips that come with sandwiches now although I do get the fire fries or waffle fries sometimes instead. The shrimp and pasta is also one of my favorites. My daughter swears they have the best chicken parmesan she’s ever had, which is quite a compliment, since that’s all she ever gets at Italian restaurants.
The drinks are consistently great, nice and strong (the way I like them). My husband usually gets a beer. Sometimes I do also, since they have such a great selection, especially now that it’s so hot out.

I had a Girl’s Night Out here the other day, and I had a great time with my friends, but Bogart’s had very little to do with that. While I wouldn’t say that anything bad happened, nothing really good happened either. It is kind of a typical bar, nothing too special.
I have to say though, I have had drinks here on a couple of different occasions, and they definitely make them weak. One of the girls I was with had to order FIVE rum and cokes because she didn’t get even buzzed on the first three. And in terms of my hamburger, I asked for it medium rare, but I received it RARE. Like, it tasted raw-​on-​the-​inside kind of rare. So as long as you order your drinks «strong» and your meat «medium» you will be ok. Not thrilled, but ok.
Pros
–it is kind of cozy inside, if not also a little outdated and run down
–lots of parking
–one of the few bars in the area
Cons
–weak drinks
–slow service
–burgers not cooked long enough

This is based on a quick bite and a drink on a Sun. afternoon. I gotta say I was pretty impressed with what I saw/​had. Great beer selection, and I stuck with old faithful Hoegardten. BF had her g&t, all cold, good, well made (you’d be surprised) and we shared onion rings and french fries. I know. Healthy, eh? What was good about these standard items was the sauces on the side. Jalopena ketchup, horseradish and a few others they happily brought out. Nice bartenders. Friendly bar. Lots of big tv’s. I want to try it betterer next time. Reminded me of a CC gastropub. We’ll see.

Always great service and a nice atmosphere

The beer selection is very good but extremely overpriced. I ordered the Mile High Nachos. They were not a mile high. Bag nacho chips on a plate with melted cheese and some chicken. That’s it for $ 8.99. I told my bartender I wasn’t very happy with the food. It took about 15 minutes to finally get her attention. She asked me why I didn’t send it back. Huh? Too busy carrying a conversation… I won’t be going back anytime soon.

You cannot beat the beer selection in DELCO anywhere if you enjoy an excellent choice of micro-​brews. I have been here several times and the bar crowd is always very friendly. I frequently enjoy a snack at the bar and have yet to be dissappointed with the sandwiches and burgers. Young and attentive waitstaff.

My wife and I went on a Sunday night for the first time. The service wasn’t good but there was only one waitress for the whole restaurant there was one other table in our section but it was a large group of at least 15 maybe more and there was another section on the other side of the place with a few full tables.
I got the N.Y. Strip steak and it wasn’t much to rave about it came with some onion rings on top of the steak they were pretty good, mashed potatoes with gravy that tasted like instant potatoes from a box not good at all, string beans and corn that lacked flavor. My wife got a Chicken Cheese Steak which is something she usually doesn’t get and she said it was aright nothing special the roll was good though.
One good thing is if you like craft /​micro beer they have a good selection believe they have 27 different beers on tap.
This place wasn’t horrible just not good and we will give it another try maybe it was just an off night for them.

I can’t stop ranting and raving about this place. Every time I go there it just gets better and better. I get something different every time and I have yet to have anything less then great.

I finally had a chance to try one of Bogart’s sandwiches and I was mightily impressed. I choose the «Ragin Cajun” — Grilled Cajun chicken breast topped with provolone cheese & Italian hot peppers. It was served on a Kaiser role with ranch for $ 8.99. I substituted waffle fries for an extra buck.
When I picked this sandwich up it was very heavy. The chicken breast was huge and juicy and nicely spiced. The roll was toasted. The waffle fries were amazing and well worth the extra buck. This is pub food at its best.
Of course I was able to wash it down with a great selection of craft beers. Now that I’ve tried the food twice I’m moving up 1 star to 4. This place is really worth a look and a taste!
