Messina Social Club is one of those rare places that manages to feel both special and welcoming. From the beautifully executed dishes to the sharp cocktail program to the warm, club-but-not-stuffy service, it delivers a full experience. If you’ve been looking for a standout spot in Philadelphia where food, drinks and ambiance align, this is a strong contender. Highly recommend giving it a try. We had a great time there.
Our friend who is a member took us there what an amazing experience and a perfect meal everything including the pairings of both wine and spirits was so on point. Also the casual but very nice setting makes it more relaxing to sit in there and really enjoy the food the drink and the people you're with the staff was absolutely unbelievable I forget the woman's name but she has red hair and she not only knew everything about the menu and the drinks but was deeply passionate about each one and really had some amazing recommendations if you can get the chance to go here I would highly recommend it I don't want to Philadelphia for a very long time and I will be making sure I get a membership to this place cuz it is something that you don't want to miss especially if you're from The Culinary world you need to go see what these guys are doing!

This is absolutely one of our favorite places. The cocktails are amazing and the apps as well as the tastings are truly spectacular. We love the atmosphere and it’s become a staple for when we wanna go out and have a nice evening out! The waitstaff is fantastic and super knowledgeable about the menu and drinks. It’s actually baffling to me that this place is not on all the top 10 list for Philly fine dining/bars.
Went a la carte with a devastatingly tender veal main, flavorful pasta, an amusing reimagining of cheesecake, and a delicious cocktail. On return, tried the tasting menu, and these items were very well-constructed and balanced in flavors, with great drink pairings. Not particularly exotic/wild in direction but solidly done. Fantastic staff!
