New Ridge Brewing Company: A Neighborhood Gem with Quality Brews and Delightful Bites

We’ve been regularly visiting new ridge for a few years and we’ve been consistently impressed with the food, drinks, and especially the service which is always friendly, helpful, and accommodating. We live in the neighborhood and it’s our go to spot for everything from casual happy hour snacks and beers to more upscale entrees and cocktails for our anniversary. Recently we’ve been going for Eagles games and there are ample tvs as well as a projector on for big games. It’s a place you can show up in a t-shirt for after work drinks, or get dressed up for a date night and feel comfortable either way. Their draft list has solid standards as well as great rotating and seasonal styles, and we have been really impressed with their cocktails which honestly stand up to some of the more cocktail-focused bars in the city, something you don’t see often at a brewery! Their cocktail menu is vegan (they use aquafaba in place of egg white) and they offer non-alcoholic versions of a number of drinks as well as an NA beer list. They regularly update the food menu which keeps it interesting for regulars, either with weekly specials or full seasonal menu changes, keeping a handful of standards on deck. Our toddler is an adventurous eater and loves to try new things, but it’s nice we can count on the mac and cheese which he always loves. Lately they’ve been doing Mac Monday with a deal on special Mac and cheese flavors. I’d love to see them bring back the special wing and hummus flavor because there were some big hits! Portions are usually generous, and we almost always leave with leftovers. The sandwiches come with really good house made chips and I appreciate having a side included if you don’t want to do the upcharge for fries. We don’t do brunch often but we have enjoyed it, they do a really solid Bloody Mary and Michelada. There are also always well considered vegan options at all levels of the menu (not just a throwaway salad); we took some vegan friends for the Super Bowl and they said the seitan wings were some of the best they’ve had in the city. We have been bringing our 2.5 year old since he was a baby and the New Ridge staff has been hospitable and accommodating at every age. It’s not a place that has kids running all over, but it’s definitely family friendly. There’s a kids menu with coloring page, high chairs, lidded plastic drink cups, and a family size bathroom. The restaurant is also situated next to Pocket Park- a cute and spacious courtyard area just outside the outdoor seating space- it’s SO nice to be able to take our kid right outside if he’s having a hard time or just needs a break to run around a bit. Pocket Park also hosts regular neighborhood events to check out, with drinks available at the New Ridge beer tent :) Thank you New Ridge for being part of the neighborhood and always making sure we have a great time!

Nice brewery with their own kitchen, beer was good although they limit what you can get with the beer/sandwich combo. Home made chips were very tasty but extremely salty and the burger was somewhat mediocre. Staff was very nice and friendly and the outdoor seating area was nice as well. The vegetarian offerings were good as well.

Super fun experience. Dog-friendly patio. Great service! The waitress let me try a lot of special stuff, including the Berliner with woodruff (look up what this is). It's distinctive and great. Kind of marshmellowy and green. Happy hour is Monday through Friday 4:00 to 6:00. Good menu. Lots of fried pickles (spears not coins, which I don't like as much because the juice is often too hot, but still good). The hummus was good. The beers were interesting. They have a Monday through Friday beer and sandwich special for $15 too.

This is my favorite brewery, they have a good variety of brews and they are always cold. The food is dynamite with a special mention of the wings and hot chicken dlsandwich. The bar appears to be meticulously maintained and the staff is great.

Great beer. Great food. Didn't realize it's more of a restaurant but was not disappointed by the food. A visit is a must when you are in the area.

Definitely a more upscale brewery when viewed against the other breweries in Philadelphia. The salad we had was tasty and the beers we tried were quite good. I also appreciated the large bar and plenty of sit down seating options for different groups to decide between. Service was also fast and helpful. Nice spot!

This spot surprised us. The brews are cold and good. The food is delicious! This is one of those places that truly values a good dining experience in addition to brewing some good beer. I am excited to try new things on the menu and can’t wait to be back.

Nice spot with indoor and outdoor seating. Has a simple but solid rotating beer menu. We sampled a few of them and they didn’t disappoint. I think we just picked the wrong things to eat. The veggie sliders didn’t have much taste and the ricotta dip was heavy and too acidic. Will try them again and try more of their menu.
