15 reviews for Ugly Moose
All I can think about are chicken cheesesteaks. It's been hours since I had one at the Ugly Moose last night and still, sitting here at work, they're still all I can think about.
The Moose is a comfortable getaway, offset from the road and offset from the rest of Philly. Good beers and great food- well-placed tv's make it a top notch joint to watch games at. They have the Garage too, even bigger and better tv's for the bigger games.
It's a quality spot, a real honest & reliable place to go with a special lady or man friend or with a group of folks. You can't beat it and knowing that is one of the fun things that makes the Moose even better. If you want to experiment, get out there and get crazy- there are other places for that. But if you want to something you can trust, love, and really enjoy because of how it easy it is- the Moose is perfect.

Great place to get away from the Main street scene, easy parking.
Good menu, good drinks, great burgers!
Unfortunately, the service in the restaurant section has gone downhill over the last few months to the point that I have started avoiding the Moose. Used to come here almost every week, but the recent waitstaff is absolutely terrible.
On the flipside, if you want a place where your glass or pitcher can sit empty for 30 minutes while you try to flag down your 'waiter', it certainly saves you money as by the time the waiter bothers to pay attention, you just want your check and get out.

The Ugly Moose is one of those places that is so comfortable to be in. People are friendly if you are sitting at the bar enjoying a game. The bartenders and wait staff are friendly and accommodating. The owner is a decent guy who had an unfortunate incident with a bear trap a few years back. There is free valet parking in their lot, which for any bar is an amazing amenity! You will always find the soccer channel on at least one TV, but not usually the main one.
We live in the area and go there a couple times a month to watch sports or hang out after a softball game, so I have tried a lot of the food. I think the restaurant has some amazing bar food--burgers that are cooked perfectly and wings that are huge! There is a nice variety of salads there too, but I wish there was a turkey burger to compliment the regular burgers and some guacamole for the nachos and quesadillas.
The beer selection is top-notch with a rotating variety--you will almost always find something from Yards, Magic Hat and Rogue with Guinness or similar, Hoegarden and of course the standard Bud Light in nice, big 20oz glasses.

Great place to relax and unwind after a long day, love their 2 for 1 burger nights and the quizzo that goes along with it on Wednesdays. It's hidden away from the street but worth a stop in if you are in the area and want to chill out for a bit.

More and more I learn that it is places like this that really embodies Manayunk: Good food, good people, good atmosphere.
Main street may be Philadelphia on training wheels, but the bars hiding on the hill are the good stuff. The Ugly moose is the perfect example.
The decoration cracks me up... The chefs are professionals who know how to cook. Don't believe me try the filet sandwich... yes I said sandwich. I never have an issue with the beverages... they even tried to make a pear martini for a girl I was with (I heard her order it, and I wanted to punch her myself... but the bartenders tried which is a lot more than I would do if I was bartending)
Meet the owner if you can too... he is a good guy.

By far... The best restaurant in Manayunk! I love their food, and the set-up is very comfortable especially during the winter. I always have fun here. I recommend the burgers.

This is more of a food review.
I visited the Ugly Moose with a group of four. Everyone's meals were mediocre. The two different pasta dishes that my hubby and I ordered were just ok.
My friends are fans of buffalo wings but were disappointed with them here. Alright, they hated the wings. They complained about them the whole time. Not spicy enough and not enough meat on them.
I guess it can be a good hangout, whether it's two people or a big group. The decor is nice, has some local historic photos on the walls. It's a big place for this area, and it's got that going for it.
Meh.
This is one of our favorite neighborhood bars. Cozy inside, not too large, in the winter they have a wood burning fireplace going.
It has a great beer selection on tap and a fantastic bar food menu, with some nicer plates mixed in. It's not very expensive and like the first review said, sort of off the beaten path.
It does have the free valet parking because the lot is small and they stack the cars in there, but I've always had parking if we drive.
Flat screen TVs to watch the games and great people working there!

Quiet place in the neighborhood and great place to enjoy a meal of burgers, wings, steaks with our family. Plus great gin & tonics too.
I love the Moose!
This is a cool place to have a burger, a beer, a glass of wine, play trivia or watch the game on one of their large flat screen televisions.
The food is unbelievable. My personal favorite is the USA burger, a hand pressed work of art on a bun. The atmosphere is friendly and quirky, and yes, there is a moose. I won't visit Philadelphia without stopping by the Moose for a great meal and to say hello to JP, the owner. By far one of my favorite places to drink and dine.
It's a little off the beaten path, so keep your eyes peeled.

What a great place tucked away in the hills of Manayunk/Roxborough. Me and a friend stumbled on this place by accident while strolling around the neighborhood. Great waiters, nice decor, incredible food (ya that USA burger is the bomb!!!). I would definitely hit this place up as an alternative to all the other Manayunk pubs. Better crowd and ambiance.

The food is very good here. A fun and relaxed atmosphere. From the guy who brought us to our table to our waitress, everyone is so nice and friendly. My burger was one of the best I ever had. It was cooked exactly as I asked and there was a variety of toppings to choose from. They have a really good selection of beers, too. It was an excellent overall experience. I'll definately be making this place a regular destination. I highly recommend it.
