Sonny's Cocktail Joint - Darby Township

Amazing bar and food. Patiently waiting the return!

Not a single bad cocktail on the menu. Great food too. If you like cocktails, this is the place for you.

We waited about 10 minutes for someone to take our order after asking if we should order at the bar or wait for a server. We ordered 2 cocktails. 25+ minutes after ordering, the drinks still hadn't arrived. We understand that Saturday nights can be busy, but they had to come back and ask us our drink order twice and served drinks to nearby tables that had ordered after we had. We made eye contact with multiple non-busy staff who subsequently ignored us. We left before our drinks even came, about 35 minutes after ordering. Not good business.

Jose makes amazing drinks and knew exactly what to make when I told him what flavor profile I was looking for. He also really cheered me up with a Reese peanut butter cup. If you're having a bad day, just look for José.

My husband and I had drinks and dinner here on a busy weekday evening. He ordered Anchor 2021 winter ale, which he liked enough to order a second bottle. For dinner, he ordered an eggplant parmesan sub; he said that everything in it was good except for the mediocre marinara sauce. I 'll give the sandwich a 'B '. We shared sweet potato fries, which were delicious, the crispiest ones we have ever eaten. He said, I 'll give these an 'A+ '. I had the fennel citrus salad. I had never eaten raw fennel, which I discovered that I do not like. The fennel slices were fibrous and gave my jaws a real workout; my husband said that coring the fennel first, before slicing it for the salad, would have gotten rid of the tough, fibrous parts. The salad contained far too much radicchio that looks like purple cabbage and only a few leaves of baby greens. It would have been better to minimize the fennel and radicchio, and to put in mostly baby greens. However, the slices of avocado, orange, and grapefruit in the salad were very good. Overall, we decided that the food was good for a bar. The waiter was very nice.
