Happy Rooster

The Happy Rooster Restaurant Review

Once a boys club of a pub, The Happy Rooster has morphed into a neighborhood spot for all with straightforward cuisine and a first-rate burger. Think updated comfort food, from small plates such as fish tacos and fried oyster sliders to larger ones (offered after 5 p.m.), such as New York strip steak in a shallot-wine jus and baby-back ribs with a choice of chipotle peach or Kentucky bourbon...

This brassy bar has stood on the corner of 16th and Sansom for ages, first as a gentleman's city retreat for Russian vodka and caviar, now as a neighborhood refuge for dirty martinis, steaks, and caviar scrambled eggs. Roosters adorn the walls and shelves. Business folk and restaurant workers adorn the booths and bar stools. Menu served until 11pm on weekends.

It has changed a lot since then when there was actually a dress code that was strictly enforced. Anyway, this is a great bar with some good food.

The Happy Rooster is a fun place to stop for lunch or happy hour. The food is nicely put together, the service is relatively quick, and the pub is compactly put together in a cozy-meets-claustrophic way.

Opinions are split over this “old-guard, classic watering hole” in Rittenhouse where decent service and comforting New American pub grub make it conducive to “medium-priced work lunches”; though critics see “nothing happy” about what they describe as a “cramped”, “noisy” “dive bar”, fans find lots of “charm” in the “quaint” spot.
