They don’t have many options, but the GF pizza is really tasty and they make sure to carefully prepare it if you ask them to. The owner has family members who have celiac so he gets it! Really great option when you want to go to a normal bar with friends. :)

This is a great neighborhood bar in South Philly. They have GF pizza crusts, which are pretty good. The wings are not GF because they get fried but they baked an order for me to prevent the contamination. Everything was delicious, service was great, and I didn’t have any adverse reactions. The owner said tonight that he hopes to expand the kitchen to add a dedicated GF fryer but not sure exactly when.

Went here on Saturday night for dinner, my boyfriend who has celiac’s got a bacon cheeseburger (no bun) with a side salad since they do not have a dedicated fryer. He enjoyed his dinner and felt totally after and the next day. Would return!
