Seems like a keeper... – we like the dim lit area and my husband loves the brews. other patrons make it pretty loud and obnoxious but the pub cannot help that. overall great experience.

Nodding Head Brewery Service was great! Decent beer selection. Food was really tasty but limited choices. Nothing groundbreaking but a great place for lunch. Brewer is happy to discuss recipes.

Great atmosphere A few friends and I stopped in here one night and had a great time. The atmosphere was excellent, a little dark and smoky and mysterious. The booths were great, as were all the bobbing head dolls. They also have some great microbrews that I would instantly go back for.

Best of Philly Brew Pub - Great Beer! Great selection of Beers and fun stuff to look at like their collection of vintage Nodding Heads dolls. They have very good selection of beer too. Don't have fantastic selection of food though.... French Fries are good. This place is for a college crowd.

funky atmosphere – I've been there twice, once for brunch and once for dinner. I really enjoyed the food at brunch and the bloody marys, and the live jazz music. Sandwiches for dinner were good, not the best. Fries were okay. I'm literally addicted to the sauce for the fries.

nice beer – This place is good for an after shopping beer with friends. Basic bar food with good beer. like most places it can get crazy at night or on the weekends get there early and don't plan on staying long.

x – i originally came on Citysearch when someone suggested Nodding Head to me. I read the bad reviews like "arrogant Scottish waiter, too dark, too noisey, too loud, etc..." and thought "this is MY kinda place". great homebrew beer for about $5 a pint, great fries, and a decent atmosphere if you're into a dark beer and a darker bar. one of the better pubs in the city.

Worst Service in the City – I took a few friends here, a couple of beer people like me, and Nodding Head was a disaster. I attribute this mostly to the waiter who was a rude, holier-than-thou type industry guy that turned the night a special kind of worthless. He blathered cloaked-insults at us through his scottish accent, and, when we joked back at him became nasty. He was, as the bar is, worthless. I'll never go to Nodding Head again, guarenteed.

Monkey Knife Fight – If you like Monk's, you'll like Nodding Head. The food is very similar, outstanding muscles and sandwiches. The only difference is that here the brews are in house. Having tried many of the micro-breweries in the area, I would say that for beer alone, this gets the prize.
