Best Irish/British
Top 100 Restaurant, Philadelphia
"High ceilings, a blazing hearth and a perfect pour of Guinness are the hallmarks of this Old City haunt."
– Philadelphia magazine
"The guys belly up to the Guinness on draft at the bar, and in front of the fireplace is the spot for conversation. This is part of the old Corn Exchange bank building, so it retains the bank's wonderfully vast ceilings and rococo carvings."
– Gayot
"Restaurant by day and Irish pub by night, The Plough and the Stars serves up some of the best New Continental food in Old City."
—34th Street Magazine
"The Plough cannot actually be exclusively classified as a bar; equal billing should be given to its restaurant, for it does a serious lunch and dinner business during the week and has a great Irish brunch on the weekends."
