10 reviews for Dawson Street Pub
Instant love. Real beer engines. Tin ceiling typical bar. The burger was a prototypical burger but with my choice of pepper Jack cheese and that is a good thing.
This is one of the cleanest bars I've ever been in. The bar stools were full and there were 3 tables worth of people. It made the place feel full without being crowded. Service was friendly and prompt.
The beer selection is an awesome mix of local and popular micro brews.
A definite recommendation as a bar. I later found out that this place is the 11th ranked bar in Philadelphia and I'm sure if they really nailed the menu that ranking would be higher.
The Dawson Street Pub is one of my favorite places in the city. It's got an incredible beer selection -- you can always find at least one or two Yards varieties on tap along with a nice mixture of other local and national microbrews (they also have a massive list of delicious bottled beers). And the food is excellent for bar food. I recommend the burgers and the Jerk Chicken sandwiches.
The things that set this bar apart from most others (other than the beer selection), though, are the people and the music. I've been going to the Dawson St. Pub for years now and it's tough to find a better bunch of people than you're likely to meet at the this place. And they consistently get good musical acts to play there every Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. Dawson Street Pub has been a regular hangout for some of Philly's most talented local musicians -- you never know who might stop in to play a set on any given night.

This is an ultra relaxed "loungey" vibe off the beaten path of Main St. with a slightly hippy crowd. Great beer selection and a nice change of pace from your standard night going out.
I was one of only 4 patrons on Saturday night around 9:30PM. This is probably due to it's location. Food service was slow and the bartender chose to hang out at one end of the bar. This pub has a reasonable selection of draught and bottled beer. It is important to know that it's a cash only place. They have an ATM in the pub. There is live music on Fridays and Saturdays shortly after 10PM.
went in to watch the phillies game. had never been. manyunk is not my part of town. love the outside smoking area. crowd was nice. the bartender was exceptional. she was super helpful and attentive. not overbearing. cheerful. didnt eat, so nothing to say about that. but its a really cool, non douchey place to grab a drink. not swanky or divey. perfect in between. cash only , which is weird. but theres an atm on site.

This little place is a hidden gem. Tucked away in manayunk/roxborough, there are quite a few beers on tap, or at least rotating in and out. Monday has the best specials with Yuengling premium pints 5-7 and pitchers 7 till close. Wings are also on special on Mondays. They frequently have live music and its not crowded. I think I love this place now.

My friend is a regular at Dawson Street because she lives down the street. She's Terrace Street Posse. The beer was serious; I especially like that they have multiple choices if you're into local brew. Happy went until 7, but after that beers were priced to be on par with Manayunk inflation. Oh well, I'll give them the benefit...because we are in a recession and the beer prices weren't outRAGeous.
One other observation was the jukebox. There was an amazing collection of artists in there...but the albums were all the slightly less popular one of really popular artists. For example, they had a Coldplay album! But it was Parachutes rather their first critically acclaimed and eventually super popular rush of blood to the head. And I really wanted to hear Immigrant Song, but they didn't have that Zeppelin album...
I'd definitely go back.

I like this place because it has grown with me.
When I was younger, I used to frequent dives- and this was one.
Now that I am older- it has cleaned it's act up (but not too much to turn me off) and it is a great place to go.
Awesome selection of beer on draft-- at least a dozen yummy mostly domestic brews. And a beautiful old wood bar to drink them at.
They do have a website and bands play here, so check that out too.
The food is also pretty good for bar food. Nice place to meet pals and shoot the shit.

Great pub for a quick informal beer. Their beer selection is fabulous, and they get bonus points for having Budwiser banned on their menu. Dave the owner is a good guy. The happy hour is more than reasonable, and the food is great.
About the only complaint I have is that they could really use an ipod hook up... it can be a little creepy without some music some time
I had a great experience at this pub last night! I had never even heard of this place, but a friend's band was playing (in celebration of Johnny Cash's birthday), so I figured I would give it a try. Immediately after walking in, I liked it. It has a very chill atmosphere, and it's dark and made of lots of wood, just luck a local beer joint should be! Though it definitely has the "neighborhood, verging on dive-bar" feel, the draft list is incredible. They've got a great rotating list with definitely something for everyone. The food was also pretty reasonable bar food; nothing special, but it filled our bellies. The service was also great; the bartender didn't forget about us, even as the bar filled up. The acoustics were surprisingly good for a place that is about the size of a railroad car. If I had to complain, it would be that the bar was pretty chilly, so I ended up keeping my coat on most of the night. But really, that's about it! All in all, a great little beer joint!
