Q:
Could the space accommodate a larger party? Say 20 people? I have an older group of women for a bachelorette party. I would love to make Graffiti Bar a pit stop, but I want to make sure the space could accommodate us. Thanks!
A:
Agree with above comment. You'd have to arrive before happy hour starts, I would probably recommend 345pm - the space gets packed as soon as happy hour starts especially on a nice weather day or Friday. Or I'd recommend asking the establishment -… more

Does the Happy Hour extend through Sat and Sun?

Hi! Yes, our happy hour is daily, including weekends from 4-7pm. I hope this answers your question!

One of my favorite bars I've been to recently! I split a scorpion bowl with a friend and it was delicious and such a bargain during happy hour! I got another drink after that was equally as delicious. The food was also incredible as we got bao buns, sliders, fried rice, and the brussel sprouts.
It's a beautiful little space with great light, AC, and a very well decorated and functional layout. We will be back!Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Christian T.Wind Gap, PA1910Jul 7, 2024
Almost 4 stars just because this was a little hard to find (went into Sampan first )
Came for happy hour on a Saturday. Very busy but managed to find a great corner spot at the bar for the four of us. Loud music
Crab Rangoon was a small portion, but the best I've ever had.
Scorpion Bowl was well worth the $25, but sadly was not in a bowl (more like a Vase).Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Brian T.San Diego, CA105413Aug 15, 2024
This is a semi hidden popular backyard bar. The service started scary cause I was an outsider who didn't know the proper etiquette of Philly bars. Once I had a drink though, Amanda the bartender was amazing. Ran into two girls who also were running solo and learned some new connections and Amanda made all of our nights. Went through some of the happy hour food menu, the potstickers, albeit overpriced iny eye, we're still very delicious. The satay and brussel sprout were great. The sliders, I can def say it's a standard slider, no specials. The drinks and Amanda's attitude were amazing. I appreciated the service for an outsider and hope all the locals and visitors come support.

Good drinks, good food (from sampan), and good ambiance. The food comes relatively quick but the drinks take a bit if there's a lot of people at the bar. The Kantoi road drink is my favorite, it's basically just a spicy margarita. Their drink special of the day however....yeah i'd pass on that. It was an iced tea type of drink but lowkey tasted like sewer water and wasn't worth the $5 that it was. I'd just stick with the house wine if I was drinking on a budget there The place gets crowded pretty early so if you want a seat I suggest getting there ahead of the happy hour crowd. Everything else is really good though and I'll definitely be coming back!

Best happy hour in the city? 100% hands down. The drink specials are great but the food specials are better! The banh mi is my favorite, and so is the kimchi fried rice (ate too quick to snap a pic). It's my favorite go to for food and drinks without a doubt.

Hands down one of the best Happy Hour experiences I've ever had. Came to visit this spot while I was visiting that came highly recommended by my brother who frequents the spot. Got there just before Happy Hour started at 4 which is key because it fills up quickly. We got prime seating at the end of the bar and were handed menus right away. I trusted his recommendations and ordered the Beef Satay, Spring Rolls and Chicken Bao buns. Everything was fantastic!! Cooked very well and came out fast and hot. The Beef melted in my mouth as was so full of flavor. The spring rolls were fresh and hot and the Bao buns were soft. I also tried some of the Korean style wings and they were amazing. I ordered a few different drinks and every one was just great!!! I'll be thinking about this spot for weeks. It's such a cool hang out spot for Happy Hour with a diverse crowd. It's in the back of Sampan restaurant and they share a kitchen and bathroom but it was totally fine. The staff was great and all of the items are priced fairly. I will definitely make a special trip back to this spot next time I'm in Philly!

We had a great time in the outdoor bar area behind graffiti bar, after we braved the alleyway. The space is well decorated and the bar provides a lot of space for an average night. On Friday it was a little too crowded so you'll want to play that by ear, but we still found places to stand and enjoy our drinks. The beers are as described - crisp, sunshine-y, etc. and the cocktails are beautifully presented, and my friends said they were quite tasty.
We did not try any of the food, but inside, the restaurant has a great vibe and seems chic. When I'm back in the city, I'll definitely head back.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - 68206276Oct 9, 2023
A friend told me about this bar so when my husband and I visited Philly this past weekend, we decided to drop by. We came during happy hour and were lucky we didn't have to wait too long for seats to become available. We only got drinks but they were good and very reasonably priced. We saw people next to us order food from their happy hour menu and they looked good, smelled good, and seemed like a decent amount of food for the price! Ambiance is also very cute. Only complaint is that no server came to us and we had to keep going to the bar to order. I'd come back next time we are in Philly to try their food though.

This is a cute and easy bar to stop by with a friend or two. The space is really small but the vibes are nice. It's the same building, behind Sampan. We came here when waiting for a dinner spot.
