Cranky Joe’s

Nice little local bar. Good prices. Cute outside patio with picnic tables and Edison lights.

Loved going here on a Saturday night, so much better than all the other bars in that vicinity. Great prices! Golden Tee! Cool people to chat with! Cranky Joe is really great. I loved the vibe here and the prices are right. That night it was $ 5 24 ounce Twisted Tea cans.
We ended up going back the next day on a Sunday afternoon. Thats where I’m docking one star because it was a weird array of people, the bartender was sort of a mess and we just didn’t feel comfortable. I would suggest sticking to weekend evenings or maybe Sunday football days.

Everyone that works here is SO sweet, especially Cranky Joe himself. You can always go here for a pleasant conversation. Beer prices are awesome and the Kelly Mayo is the way to go if you need a meal! Make sure you get Cajun fries with that. Keep up the good work, Cranky Joe’s!

Great corner bar in east falls. The employees are always fun and friendly. Good food and cold beer at a reasonable price.

Went here on the steak special night and let me say, SUCH A GOOD TASTING AND MEATY STEAK! WOW! It took quite a LOOOONG TIME for our order to come and I thought perhaps the popularity of the night with $ 5 steaks (SO NOT THE CASE).
I decided to give them another shot and try their wing night. OH BOY! WHAT A MISTAKE THAT WAS! Arrived at 9:30P and wings (less than 2 dozen) and 1 order of fries did not come out until 10:32P. When the wings did arrive they weren’t even the type of wings I ordered and they were OVER COOKED.
The service both times were POOR and no one engaged in conversation as to what was the hold up with the order on both days or to assure us that the order would be coming up soon. The beer was warm and never were we asked if we needed anything else. THE ONLY TIME we were asked that is when I asked for the check.
IT DOESN’T EVEN MATTER IF THE FOOD WAS GOOD, IT IS THE SERVICE THAT WILL NOT ALLOW ME TO EVER GO BACK THERE OR RECOMMEND TO ANYONE.

Just moved into the neighborhood and I am defiantly calling Joe’s my new watering hole! Great time good food and just an awesome neighborhood bar!

I got to say, this place is very unassuming. You could probably head into here in your PJ’s and not receive any strange looks. The beer is mega-​cheap, the vibe is ultra casual — and they have Quizzo where people don’t cheat! (Imagine that!).
The best part is the hidden second floor, which, if you’re lucky, you can have to yourself with your buddies. Let’s say you have to know the right nights — the «quiet» nights — and it seriously feels like a house party. You can watch the TV or listen to the music of your choosing, play some free darts, and use the nearly spotless restrooms at your leisure.
I wouldn’t go here for a big «night on the town» type of event, but on a SMTW night, no doubt!

Some friends suggested this place a few times in the past few months as a great place to play darts. I finally got the chance to go, and I wasn’t disappointed. The upstairs setup is great with two boards and two electronic scoreboards. There is plenty of room upstairs and the bartenders downstairs were all very friendly. To the guy saying that if you’re not a local, you’re not welcome, that couldn’t be further from the truth. If you feel like a Leper, then it’s probably you that’s the problem.
There was nothing special about the menu, but everything was fairly cheap compared to other bars in the city. Good atmosphere; I’d come back.

I have lived in this area for quite a bit and can say that this bar encompasses what a local pub should be. The former establishment at this residence had a bit of a reputation for rif-​raf and I was pleasantly surprised that has changed with new ownership.
I don’t think there are too many locals here despite what the other reviews say. I actually think it’s quite a decent mix of people in a friendly, laid back and clean environment. It has a pleasant game day atmosphere — plenty of TVs — and great drink specials. Oh, and the food! It totally trumps all the other pub grub in the area. The staff is so nice, they’ll make it to order so you get real personalized attention. Everyone is so accommodating and nice. Vaughn is my favorite bartender — always a smile and a full glass!
They host a lively Quizzo on Monday nights and I hear they have a great dart tourney on other nights (Tuesday, I think). There’s shuffleboard, quiz games, pinball, etc. too. Great jukebox. Adequate seating.
I never leave there unsatisfied and they get five stars, hands-​down, for the details such as hooks under the bar for your purse — love that! Overall, a comfortable atmosphere where you can kick back and have that cozy neighborhood feel.
Cheers!

Love the feel of this place, super chill and laid back. Sweet place to grab some cheap drinks and food and toss some darts! 2^nd floor has a really nice set up for steel darts, two beautiful, well lit boards with electronic scoring. I can see myself coming back many times this summer! Can’t wait to Duke it up here!
And to the nay says about locals only… Upon our first visit, we were well taken care of, met everyone, super friendly staff and patrons.

I just moved to East falls and went out to find a place to kick back and nock back a few. I felt like a leper it’s one of those places where if you’re not a long time local you’re not welcome. The beer was cheep the service slow. If you’re not one of them look out.

So the $ 7 Monday pitchers ($ 9 any other times), $ 2 happy hour pints, and friendly service has earned this place another star in my book. Finally, something cheap and low-​key to hit up on a random night.

It’s strange in there with strange people coming in. And while cheap, the food was not so good. Go to Buckets/​Falls Taproom instead. Much nicer

Very good neighborhood bar, prices are low, food is good, and atmosphere is friendly. Even a good spot to bring your family to for lunch or an early dinner (it is a sports bar though, so you’ll get what you’d imagine if a game is on). Everything you’d want from a local sports spot without the riff raff that usually comes in a one $ symbol establishment. Would have given them five stars but they had a chicken nugget eating contest and didn’t give me a trophy when I won (74 nuggets in 12 minutes), even after a competitor vomited about 75 of them up on my shoulder (but they did give me a decent new shirt).

Great neighborhood bar! Good food and friendly service! Darts, Golden Tee, Pinball, MegaTouch, juke box… Everything you need for a fun day out with friends!
