  • Neighbourhood gem
  • Great for brunch
  • Lively
Neighborly meets sophisticated at Red Owl, a modern tavern in the heart of Old City, just across from the Liberty Bell. Among soaring windows and cozy tables, the kitchen serves up smart, stylish takes on American staples (a cheesesteak never tasted as good as ours, made with premium shaved rib-eye). When paired with craft beers and classic cocktails, it’s a clever balance of fancy and familiar, with a dash of Philly flair.


We look forward to seeing you soon!

    We were disappointed with the food on this visit. The server was helpful and the noise was manageable but probably not going back because of the food.

    Visited in afternoon of the Super Bowl parade. The place was packed but the wait staff, kitchen and bar tenders did a great job. As always, food was fresh, hot and delicious. Red Owl never disappoints

    My friend & I were in town for the weekend! We had planned to have dinner there Friday night, they accommodated us at the bar which was great! Food was absolutely amazing from the Brussels sprouts, sage & garlic fries and the steak I was in heaven !!! The drinks are fantastic as well. The staff is friendly and so accommodating! We were staying at the hotel for the wknd and planned to travel to other restaurants in area. Nope we enjoy all our meals at the Red owl! Breakfast was just as amazing! We can’t wait to go back!!!
