Focused on sharing the culture of Philadelphia, its pioneering sites are designed to transport guests to the gritty and unpretentious neighbourhoods of South Philly, where dive bars feature as hubs of socialisation. While its unique and authentic range of Italian-American inspired dishes are crafted to celebrate with the City’s diverse immigrant heritage. Many often wonder about our name - it’s a Native-American word meaning “place between the hills” and it’s the Main Street that runs through the heart of South Philadelphia. It links our company back to our South Philly roots and it reminds us why we started our business - to share the values of Philadelphia - the City of Brotherly Love - with the world.Regarded as one of the leading American hospitality venues in the country, Passyunk’s brand of Americana has been featured in major media outlets including the Guardian, Daily Mail, Observer, Evening Standard, GQ, National Geographic, The Economist, BBC, NPR, NBC, ABC, Philadelphia Inquirer and Philadelphia Magazine.Our reputation as an arbiter of authentic Americana led us to a collaboration with Major League Baseball where we were a founding partner of a pilot competitive socialising project called Home Run House. The successor concept Passyunk Play, American Dive Bar meets competitive games space launched in October 2024, demonstrating the brand extension potential of the core Passyunk property.The Passyunk family of venues includes four full service “American Dive Bars” and experiential venues across London in Fitzrovia, Waterloo and Battersea, with more coming soon.
