This was our first time here and it was amazing! My dad drove almost 2 hours to Philly to come fix my car in this heat, so we wanted to go to lunch but weren't planning on staying long. We decided to give The Black Taxi a try and it was phenomenal. It's really quiet on a side street, and we were able to sit outside and enjoy ourselves. The food was amazing and everyone was so sweet. My dad went inside to ask if we could sit outside and said a bunch of people immediately welcomed him. Even after working on my car for a few hours in the heat, my dad said he would happily sit there and drink all day AND come back to Philly just to go here! That says so much. Thank you for taking care of us and giving us a great experience.
After a long day of walking around Philadelphia, my family and I decided we needed libations and something filling. We looked on google for places around the neighborhood and decided Black Taxi was our ticket. This ended up being an amazing decision.From the other customers, the kitchen staff, to the front of house, everyone was terrific. This is the Irish Cheers. They helped me and my husband get our sleeping kids in to sleep in a booth and then stored our giant stroller so we could finally relax. The cocktails were so refreshing. We had the Taxi Crush, Barrys Irish Tea, and the Hendricks Lemonade. My favorite was the Taxi Crush. It reminded me of an orange crush and was so refreshing.For food we had the Taxi Burger, Fish and chips, and the Flaky Fish Sandwich. The burger was cooked to order and a perfect medium. The batter on the fish was so flavorful and everything that beer battered fish should be. The coleslaw is nice and vinegary.I highly recommend this place if you're looking for a good lunch or dinner or in need a of a great cocktail to beat the heat. I wish we could bring the bar and the atmosphere home with us.
I enjoyed meeting meal here. The server was so sweet and so tolerant. His accent was so dear! We had a bunch of people and just sort of bombarded them.The food was excellent. I got the signature burger and loaded fries. So tasty!
Great neighborhood bar! Nice people and great bartenders
great staff, great drinks
Obsessed they had sausage rolls here! I’m from England and missed those delicious snack rolls and this was the closest thing to them! My friends got the HIGHLY recommended Philly Cheesesteak. I tried a bite and it was definitely delicious and filling (lol). Service was awesome and so was the atmosphere. I’ll be back again when visiting Philly ?
Absolutely amazing Reuben! Great service!
solid neighborhood spot for drinks and food. the Brussels sprouts were a highlight, and the Reuben with Irish corned beef was amazing too
Perfect Irish pub in the city. Great atmosphere where everyone seems to know one another, good vibes, good selection of beer, and that dank, dark Irish pub ambiance (you know what I mean). Staff is really friendly and helpful, and the food is tasty.
Was looking for a place to grab a quick bite and drink after supporting the museum workers at a rally, and this was a great option. Great service in a jovial atmosphere.
