Just a short walk from Pat’s, Geno’s, and Dough Head, Cartesian Brewing is the kind of down-and-dirty neighborhood spot we absolutely love. The vibe is unpolished in the best way—mismatched furniture, tables made from old doors, and a no-frills charm that feels lived-in and local. The beertender and regulars were incredibly welcoming, and it’s the kind of place we’d be at weekly if we lived nearby.

The Audacity Fruit Punch stood out big time—it’s what we’d call a “juicy juice beer”. True to its name, it’s bright, fruity, and tart, bursting with cherry, pineapple, and tangerine like the adult version of a childhood juice box.

PIZZA LOVERS! They have a pizza oven, but it’s not always fired up, so check their Instagram before banking on a pie. If its not open, highly recommend Dough Head. Either way, Cartesian is a Philly gem we’d happily revisit.

I wasn’t a fan of the beer I got, but it’s beer, and no one likes every beer they drink, so it’s no reason to count off in a review. The brewery was neat with a good number of seats. Mostly locals at the time we went since the Eagles were playing an away game and it was being shown. The bar tender we had was very nice and the pizza, which we didn’t have, looked very tempting.

Outstandingly crafted beer, good prices, laid back atmosphere that's great for visiting solo or for couples, families, or big groups. Staff are friendly and helpful. They have free WiFi and board games too! We especially loved the Polish-style beer (unique and delicious!), the Belgian Double, and their Hazy IPA. Yum, can't wait to return to try more from the draft beer list plus their draft cocktails and mead (honey wine).

A garage brewery with a nice laid back vibe and really good beer. Tried a few different types and all of them were tasty. Bartender was friendly.

Worth a visit.

Fantastic beer, cozy atmosphere, and friendly staff. This is the type of business Philly needs to support. Small, gritty, and true. The beer is really delicious. They also make cocktails and have wine! And the pizza they sell there some days is awesome too.
