Evil Genius Beer Company - Philadelphia

Quick, friendly service. Made it to trivia night and also got to try out the dream house! Just a Barbie girl in a Barbie world these days (look at those sparkles)

Fun atmosphere, lots of space both inside and outside. Avoid if you are a nondrinker or pregnant, as they have zero non-alcoholic options or NA beers.

Went here for a drag brunch which was absolutely amazing!!! However the place itself is absolute GARBAGE. They over served a member of my group and then decided to KICK THEM TO THE CURB IN 90 DEGREE WEATHER. I work in the service industry and NEVER do we kick somebody out in that weather to sit on the curb in this type of heat when he can barely walk because he is so drunk. You tell them “sit here we can’t serve you anymore but you need to sober up” in THE NICE COLD AIR CONDITIONED VENUE. Everything leading up to this was great but I will never go back after this. ABSOLUTE TRASH AND DISREGARD FOR RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR OWN SERVING SIZES. (Served him at least 8 ounces of tequila STRAIGHT)

Extremely cool space, good beer, slow service. I loved the space and the retro feel. They have their menu on VHS tapes. There were lots of games at the bar to play. We went on a Friday night. They had a few vendors selling handmade items and a musician performing. While I normally am not the biggest fan of IPAs (and a majority, like 75% of their beers on tap are IPAs), I really enjoyed most of theirs. They weren’t super hoppy and had some great flavoring. They had the best watermelon sour that I highly recommend!We had mac and cheese, nachos, and a cuban sandwich. They serve food, however, they do not have a traditional working kitchen. The “kitchen” is behind the bar with a single burner, a panini press, and a toaster oven. Definitely good drunk food, afterall my mac and cheese was topped with crushed Cheetos, but this is not fine dining, or to be honest, even a dining experience.Bar service was horrible. It seemed like the bartenders first time working on a Friday night. We were ignored for 10 minutes after sitting down at the bar. We were never asked if we wanted more drinks. They have a line to the bar for people sitting at the tables as they do not have servers. We ended up waiting in this line to get a second round of drinks.Overall, I would give this place another try since I loved the vibes and the sour, but definitely manage your expectations with their food and service.

I've always liked Evil Genius, and I was really excited to come to this location in Philly. Initially felt kind of sketchy because it was under the L, but the vibe inside was great! The inside was surprisingly very spacious. Everyone looks like s/he's having a great time. Tables and benches were filled with people, and there are games laid out for people to play! This was awesome. I got in line for the beer, and the selection was great (hopefully, since it's a brewery). You're able to make your own sampler, and they have paper/pen out ready for you, and all you have to do is write the number down and they'll get it for you. I was satisfied with all the beer I had. My friend ordered food, which was average. Pretty much all finger foods, so not entirely satisfying for me. Overall, great place to come with friends and to have a drink!Rating: 7/10Pros: Beer, inside vibeCons: Sketchy exterior, finger foods not impressive
