The snapper soup is a must-try, served with a side of sherry to kick it up. It is the gold standard in the city.

Best snapper soup in Philly, hands down. It's thick, flavorful, and exactly how it should be made.

Eating snapper soup at the oldest pub in the city feels like a rite of passage. Surprisingly hearty and traditional.

The snapper soup here is a beautiful homage to the original Bookbinder's recipe. The tableside sherry service is a class act.
