Came here with some friends on a Friday night and I had a good time. Don't come here if you want a crowded place to find people. It was low key but the setting was just right. Our servers John and Carly were great the whole night. Drinks were always on point! Ask them to make anejo tequila mixed with Frangelico- you wont regret it! Mozzarella balls were also super good. Cant go wrong with cheesey balls! Good music was always playing in the background.
If you are looking for a low-key place to go, come here. Right off the R train!
Hot wings – 5 stars. Perfectly fried but not breaded, crispy, saucy, delicious
Garlic wings – 1 star. The one star is because they are crispy.. but these are dry and flavorless. Just because they are garlic wings doesn't mean that you should ONLY season the wings with garlic and with nothing else. We ended up ordering an extra cup of hot sauce to drench them in. And of course, we were charged for that sauce.
Just tried to go in to watch the first Eagles game of the year and found the bar packed with Wall Street asses who extended their happy hour. On top of that, all of the tables were reserved with NO ONE sitting in them?!?!? No local dive should be pompous enough to have reserved seats. I watched a lot of money walk out when people saw the reservation nonsense. If you want to be an Eagles bar, Wogies, you better learn how to better serve your demographic.
Now sitting at Clinton Hall around the corner to watch and see a bunch of people who left Wogies. Seems like Clinton Hall is a better place to serve fans.
a solid delivery addition to the fidi / battery park neighborhood.
the wings are the thing here but we have struggled to find the right amount of heat – hot isnt quite hot enough and crazy was just a little too much – such a quandry! id love a little more substance to their blue cheese but do appreciate the carrots and celery that accompany the wings.
if this place does any sort of wing deal during sports / happy hour / etc then i would def be fan of that!
Who even knew this place existed?
Not me. But I'm glad I do now!
I have been living in the area for almost 2 years and had no idea about this place.
I was walking home one day and as I was melting from the heat, I noticed a sign outside advertising cold drinks. I couldn't resist.
After walking in and downstairs I was surprised to see a really nice sized room with a big, full bar, dining tables and a dart board. Perfect place to grab a delicious (cold) drink.
I didn't have the food, but they had a nice menu.
I took off a star because (1) I was literally the only one there (like, alone, in a huge bar) and it took 12 minutes (I started counting after 5 because 2 employees were standing right in front of me as I tried to get their attention but they were too busy talking…) for someone to acknowledge my existence. It was really weird.
And (2) my Rum Punch was essentially pineapple juice. I mean I love pineapple juice but it's not really what I had in mind. I left half in the glass.
However, it is one of (if not the) only places in FiDi with a proper bar setup.
Will probably come here again because it is super convenient and the staff, once they paid any attention to me, was super friendly.
Got the buffalo chicken cheese steak. It was warm and just the right amount of spicy. However, for a cheese steak it wasn't super cheesy. Also I asked for blue cheese and was given ranch. Ordered to go so I didn't know until I got back to work. For $11 I probably won't go back, good though despite not being quite what I was expecting.
I like (gastro)pub food a lot, but Wogies didn't really impress me. Came here with a friend after work looking to pig out, so we ordered a bunch of stuff:
Buffalo wings: decent, not bad, not mindblowing. The sauce was pretty standard, and the quality of the wings (meat/bone) itself deteriorated as we went through the pile.
Potato bread (garbage bread): probably the most interesting thing on the menu… I like this one a lot, though it was a bit overstocked with potatoes, even with its name. I think if I were to come again, I'd try the Italian one, but it was good nonetheless.
Waffle fries (with cheese): solid, nothing special.
Fried mozzarella balls: pretty good, but kind of inconsistent in quality (there weren't that many balls, and one of them was hollow…).
The service is mediocre. You sit yourself and wait a little bit for someone to come. The place is pretty small, so it gets kind of loud, so it's not ideal for conversation. I could see myself coming here again if I lived right next to it/if my friends liked to come here after work or something, but otherwise, I'm sure I can find something better.
This Wogies is my go-to for Eagles games when I'm running late and can't find any other location uptown to watch the game. Though it's never too crowded, it would be wise to come as early as possible to snag a booth. It's far bigger than the Greenwich Village location, so even if you come late, you'll at least be comfortable with standing room. You can feel a bit more comfortable bringing larger groups here too, especially with the bar area and the larger tables.
The food here is just as good as the other location, and it's always nice to enjoy that food and the game without being shoulder to shoulder. My usuals are the garbage bread, or a whiz wit'. The wings here are also pretty good, and not too dry, which is a usual symptom of deep fried wings. They usually have a Sunday/Monday wing special from 8-midnight, which apparently is pretty good. In all, their bar food is definitely above-average and relatively well-executed, as much as can be anyway.
I was a little disappointed when I asked for a lager, and the waiter brought me something other than Yuengling. I guess it was very optimistic for me to assume that the waitstaff was Philadelphia-based as well. At any Philadelphia bar, you ask for a lager, there's no confusion as to what you'll get. The Wogies in Greenwich Village has never let me down in that regard, but it's not the biggest deal. They do have a decent selection on tap, as well as a good selection of bottles.
In my opinion, the service here is a bit laggier than the other location, but with a larger area to cater to, I'm a bit more understanding. I can't say I would come here just to hang out on weekends, given the neighborhood, but I'll definitely be back a few times for the upcoming football season, especially now that I live on the West side, and can swing down on the 1 train.
