I'm going to have to rate the food a 3.5/5. The service and atmosphere is a vibe in there. The shrimp is very hearty but they are not devein. The garlic butter sauce was off. But it's bar food so expect nothing else. I wish I could have rated it higher though. The staff is very nice though

Best fried skrimps evah! The atmosphere is great & tipping is an event. Worth the trip for the skrimps & the experience. And if you don't go then you're not worthy.

It was basic neighborhood bar good. I had the large green mussels which were seasoned great & the veggie platter. Seasoned well also. I will say they were a bit stingy on the potato ( but it's all good). The scenery again basic neighborhood bar crowd with good music. The service from the person that took our order to the bartender was excellent. I would pop in again.

Clock Bar has the perfect name because let me tell y'all it is always a TIME (no pun intended )! A true Philly staple & only the real Philly Jawns go to Clock. Located on Broad & Erie in North Philly, it can be seen as a sketchy area of town, however, the people are really down to earth and the heart & soul of Philly. As soon as I walked into Clock Bar, a woman asked me if I was interested in buying perfume oils - gotta love it, the patrons are about their hustle! If you want a less hectic experience, it's recommended to go early in the day (although I went at 2:30pm and it was still lively). The seafood is AMAZING and everything is served in to go containers even if you're dining in (walk up to the front to place your order and have cash on deck because it's a CASH ONLY establishment). Clock Bar is most known for its colossal shrimp, however, the mussels are slept on and my favorite selection (probably the best mussels I've ever had). I hear the crab legs are great too. And the best part is that they serve these reasonably priced super sized slushies for $12-14 and you can even take them to go! Generally they are garnished with candy (e.g. the Fruit Loop has a Dum Dum Pop on top) which makes it a fun experience not to mention drink names like Smooth Bitch are quite entertaining. Can't wait to return to Clock Bar because it's for the culture!

Always a great spot to get some crab legs, mussels and shrimp! The slushies are delicious and you can ask for whatever alcohol/flavor combo you'd like! They often give you two cups because of how much they make... On the wrong night like tonight, they just give you one lol If you don't like crowds, I'd suggest you come right after work or midday. The later it gets the more closely you'll get to know your neighbor... They'll basically be sitting in your lap or all up on your back.

I came here after getting a cheesesteak from Max's next door (at the recommendation of my Uber driver). I was told they had excellent alcoholic slushies. We went in there with our cheesesteaks in tow and asked for the strongest frozen drinks they had and was told they were called a Smooth B****. It had Hennessy and various mixers in it. We were surprised when we received the drinks because we were each given two full cups for the price of one. The pricing seemed inconsistent, but it appears to depend on if you are given two full cups or less. It was $14 when we were given two full cups and less when given less. The drinks had a decent amount of alcohol in it... enough to get you to a happy place. Although I had a cheesesteak that I barely finished, I couldn't resist sampling something off the seafood menu because it looked and smelled delicious. I opted for the steamed shrimp and the seasoning was everything. The shrimp were jumbo and well worth the price. Although the food and drinks were good, the bar is a bit outdated and not the cleanest place to go. However, I wasn't expecting it to be anything fancy.

The Clock Bar has been "Hood Famous" for years! I returned recently and I see it still maintains the crown for some of the best seafood and drinks for low costs around the Philly area. I see that you still need to pick the day and time carefully when you come to the CB. If you choose wrong - it will be standing room only. If you are not ready to handle the patrons who may frequent this establishments (this is code for the shady and sketchy folks that may be up in the joint...LOL). You may encounter (Brotherman - selling socks, glasses or t-shirts). I actually got some knockoff Burberry glasses for $20 while eating my delicious crab legs and shrimp meal. The music is always on point, so much so - you may get up and dance with the others (after you had one of the slushy drinks - that is if there is room in the bar on your visit...LOL I enjoyed my return to the Clock Bar and say - if you are in the area - put your judgement aside and give it a try! You will see what all the talk is about ;-)
