Decent selection (for Philadelphia, worst selection than your average liquor store in small towns in the Midwest) but the beer is more expensive that getting a pint of the same exact beer at a pub. It’s just insanely expensive. At least offer a few cheap options.
The Milstein sandwich was great!
“ARROGANT, RUDE, and EXPENSIVE:” The Foodery has to be one of the worst “bang for buck” establishments in Philadelphia. A six pack of even standard beer will cost you about 20 dollars or more, and prices are not on display before purchase. The worst part about the place is the rude customer service. I have lived in Philadelphia now for 4 years and cannot think of another business with a more rude or unhelpful staff. Do yourself a favor: go to any of the other beer stores within 3 blocks and buy beer from them (ACME, locust). This place is just not worth it—they are kept alive by inexperienced beer enthusiasts thinking Foodery is a proper beer store and getting swindled into paying high price. It is a con business.
As a small business, I don’t expect to pay the same prices as Acme or Whole Food. The Foodery’s selection actually blows them out of the water AND they actually started the mix-6 pack here in Philadelphia. I have been shopping here for decades. The employees are stellar at recommending new ones to try. You sure ain’t getting that service at Acme. These guys were pioneers in the craft beer scene in Philly. The real ones know about The Foodery!! Support local businesses ??
So it’s open late and doesn’t offer a mix 6 pack price. One mixed 6 pack nothing exotic 2 Guinness , 1 summer love , 1 bodington, 2 bell heart ales $21.00. WHAT? Anyway the price you pay when the ACME is not open.... but c’mon ?. Buy early at the ACME if you can and avoid this price gouging!!!!!!!!
Pretty good selection of beer.
Bought a Heineken. The only place that sold beer within a mile I think. Good stuff
Love the selection, but it's ridiculous that there are no prices listed.
Miss them very much.all are like family.they are beautiful souls.
Great neighborhood bottle shop! We always find unique things to try..
