by Michael P. on First impressions frequently make or break for most bars and restaurants. National Mechanics definitely has the first impression down. Walking up, it feels like something out of a movie, the type of place you see on screen, and can't believe it really exists. The space I'm told began life as a union hall, but later served as a church, a role that seems more appropriate to the building's revival facade. Upon entering, its apparent they played on the history of the building. The bar lines one wall, and the opposite wall has banquettes with church-pew benches. Long, tall tables fill the space between. Anywhere else but Philly, I'd say the tap row had a good selection, but I'm pretty spoiled here. It's better than the domestic staples you find at other old city bars, but it's not the diverse selection of micros and imports I prefer. They make up for this somewhat with a good bottle selection, but I prefer draught beer. Food hasn't left me dissapointed, but hasn't really been memorable either. Mostly I go there for karaoke, so I'm usually not eating. The service can also be spotty, mostly because they are perpetually understaffed, so one waitress is handling all the tables, and one bartender is handling both bar and drink station. Karaoke there is among the best in the city. DJ Joe runs a good show, and the sound is very good. There's also much more of a "stage" area than most places, even if its not raised, its better than standing in the corner of the bar.. I don't get up to old city much, but this is a place that has impressed me. its generally not the same old city crowd I try to avoid, and the prices are decent. I've heard they have a decent brunch, but I have not tried it.
by Malik Bevill on We've been going here a lot lately and everyone seems to love it except for me. My favorite part about this place is the ladies room attendant who used to work at Shag. Anyway, the music is usally good, but it is also packed to the brim. There's nothing really wrong with this place, it just isn't my favorite. The only thing I really hate about this place is that they always accost you when you leave to write down your phone # to put you on mailing lists. I realize it's a part of someone's job and they need their quotas, but I'm tired of doing it every week. Know this: you are going out in Hollywood. If you are not on the list or have not bought a table, you will most likely have to wait. If you don't want to wait, get there early.The drinks will be expensive and it will be packed inside. It's just the way it works. The "smoking patio" is actually inside, towards the back, so if you are really smoke sensitive you might have a problem. Also, you generally get more with honey than you do with vinegar, so be nice to the door/list people and bouncers and they are more likely to help you.
