SUTTONS BAR WILL BE CLOSED FROM DECEMBER 22 THROUGH JANUARY 25TH 2022

Fine Food & Spirits

A warm and inviting neighborhood bar, Sutton’s Fine Food & Spirits offers an approachable beer, cocktail and food menu with a creative take on familiar classics.

Our Story

Sutton’s is a nod to the past industrial might of Kensington and the hardworking people that have always lived here. The Sutton family, who came to Philadelphia from England in the late 1700’s as shipbuilders, eventually opened the successful foundry and iron works known as Franklin Iron Works.

Inspired by the story of a hardworking family that became an integral part of the neighborhood, owner Niall Murphy created Sutton’s; a space that embraces the people and roots of the 5th Street corridor that once housed the workings of breweries, textile, woolen, lamp and hat factories; A space where people come together and enjoy homemade food and a good drink with their friends and neighbors.

Reservations are recommended for 4 plus parties especially on weekends. Sutton’s will not be accepting reservations later than 8:00 PM. For large parties or interest in renting the entire space for parties please contact us at 267-648-0286 or email niall@suttonsphilly.com

“I’ve always wanted to create a space where people can feel welcome, have a great meal with good beer; a comfortable, warm, friendly place that we would want to hang out in ourselves.”

    One of those places that's a hidden gem that I'm afraid to share with my fellow Philadelphians. But they are honestly good enough that they truly deserve the business.

    The food here was great. I had the burger and ordered the Brussel sprouts, which was delicious. My boyfriend, friend and I really enjoyed the food. Also the costumer service was great. I would definitely come back.

    All I can day is wow. Best service we have had in a long time. Tasty food. Brussel sprouts and fingerling potatoes. Cocktails were solid. Slightly over priced. This place should be doing more business.

    Phenomenal platters last week with my co-workers. But no fifth star due to mediocre service.

    My go-to spot for food and drinks. Amazing pub-style menu, awesome atmosphere and top notch service. The owner, Niall is super cool and always very warm and welcoming. My favorites are the wings, the fries and the fried chicken sandwich.

    Good spot in an up and coming area. Friendly service and tasty food. Pays tribute to Philly's manufacturing past.
