misconduct tavern

i was looking for a pub that i could watch a game with a good beer selection and get better than average " pub" food. my waiter was enthusiastic about their beers and menu. both were good i will come back.

i was invited to the 3rd annual dog days of summer cook-off presented by south street headhouse district in conjunction with hot diggity held on july 19, 2014, 1-4pm, under the headhouse square shambles (2nd/pine). twenty of the region’s top restaurants and chefs went grill-to-grill in the ultimate hot dog competition. there were 20 different hot dogs with tasty inventive toppings. getting around to all 20 would have been ambitious, even eating half dogs, but i did taste a respectable 10, which i have given tine ratings - * excellent - 4 tines * great - 3 tines * good - 2 tines * fair - 1 tine * poor - tarnished , and placed in order of my least favorite to my most favorite. along with pictures of the actual 1st & 2nd place winning restaurants with their big checks! #1  the twisted tail  - house made pork dogs, brisket & short rib chili.  sounded like a winner, but i felt it was under cooked and a bit too gamy -  1 tine twisted tail chili dog #2  rex  - i gave extra marks for anyone us

beers are fairly expensive. 5 dollar miller lites, but they had a decent selection. food was good. had the chicken sliders and they were better than i had anticipated.

unprofessional; cancels reservations. unprofessional;
does not care about its customers;
cancels reservations - just to earn a buck

i will never be spending any of my money at misconduct tavern.


yesterday (nfl championship sunday), my fiancee made a reservation for a party of seven at misconduct ahead of time, and our reservation was confirmed. our reservation was at 4:00pm. at 3:30pm, a representative from misconduct tavern called my fiancee to tell her that they were cancelling our reservation, because they had lots of walk-ins and decided to give our table away. last time i checked, the entire point of making reservations was to ensure you had a table in the event that there were too many walk-ins. moreover, my friends were coming from 45 minutes away, so cancelling our table a half an hour before our reservation was extremely inconvenient, since now we were scrambling to find other accommodations for a large group (which included children), while simultaneously redirecting my friends who were already on the road. finally, management had the audacity to offer to move our reservation to the next day, even though the entire purpose of our making a reservation was to make sure that we would be able to come in, sit, and watch the game as we ate and drank.


i have no problem with an establishment that does not take reservations, or does not take reservations on a day where they expect lots of walk-ins (championship sunday or superbowl sunday). however, to take our reservation ahead of time, then cancel it a half an hour before, is extremely rude and unprofessional. regarding a party of seven with children in particular, management at misconduct tavern should have known that it would be difficult for us to find another establishment with only a half an hour's notice. after already confirming the reservation, i would think that a professional establishment would deal with a slight loss of income that comes from holding an empty table for half an hour, rather than destroy the good will of its customers to earn a half an hour more's worth of profits. i have to conclude that misconduct tavern is not a professional establishment.


bottom line i recommend that anyone considering misconduct tavern should look elsewhere. there are too many good places in philadelphia for you to be spending your money here.

after so looking forward to the phillies home opener, my friend and i found ourselves in a quickly emptying, very cold and windy citizens bank park. the phillies offense was nonexistent (sorry cole) so we left the park to finish watching the game and enjoy a meal at the bar at misconduct tavern. we got to misconduct about 3:45pm on monday, april 9, 2012. drowning our sorrows after a sad start to the season, we did not order food immediately, instead we ordered beer.
