#1 Ranked American Experience in London
Introducing Passyunk Avenue:
The First True Philadelphia Jawn in London
Named after the iconic street in Philly where cheesesteaks were born, Passyunk Avenue captures the true spirit of the city. We aim to transport you to this vibrant jawn, offering a dive bar experience that’s straight-up Philly.
Did you know Passyunk Avenue started as a humble food truck? For founder JP Teti, a US expat, this journey kicked off with the Liberty Cheesesteak Company, winning over Londoners with authentic Philly flavors and vibes.
To show our commitment to sharing the rich cultural heritage of South Philly, the Liberty Cheesesteak Company food truck transformed into Passyunk Avenue. When you visit, you’re not just stepping into a bar but into a story of tradition, taste, and a love for all things Philly.
Some call it luck, we say DESTINY!
That same year the Eagles made their first trip to Wembley and we threw down a sick tailgate bash and got the Eagles’ team bus to rock up with the Super Bowl trophy. Cheerleaders cheered, Swoop…did Swoop things, and Brent Celek hyped everyone up with the Lombardi trophy, before he started pouring pints at our Fitzrovia Jawn!

Philly Food
There’s always a table at Passyunk Avenue sinking Buds over buffalo wings or Philly Cheesesteaks; so if the question is, “What do I order”, it’d make sense to start there.
Don’t miss the combo ubiquitous in its home city: the Citywide Special, a shot of whiskey and a beer — served up here as a shot of Jim Beam and a can of Pabst Blue Ribbon.

The O.G & where the pilgrimage starts
Cleveland Street, Fitzrovia
Go for its Jay Rayner-approved Philly cheesesteak; stay for your unequivocal home run into a Philadelphia backstreet dive bar. Tucked away on Fitzrovia’s otherwise chilled out Cleveland Street, Passyunk Avenue is a disco ball of neon Budweiser signs, televisions beaming out baseball, sports paraphernalia hung on every spare inch of wall and iconic US tunes ringing from the speakers.
Though unmistakably American, this is a place that simultaneously swats away notions of the all-American experience. The bar seeks to share the cultural inheritance of waves of Italian immigrants to Philadelphia and pays tribute to a city shaped by years of immigration through its menu of Philly-Italian die-hard favourites.
A Cathedral to Philadelphia
Leake Street Arches, Waterloo
“In the good times game, this place is a riot” writes the Evening Standard about our Waterloo venue tucked deep beneath Waterloo Station in the graffitied recesses of Leake Street Tunnel – reminiscent of the hip and vibrant Fishtown neighbourhood back home in Philly.
A massive venue, conceived as a cathedral to Philadelphia, our Waterloo joint takes the humble American dive bar and steps it up a level by combining all the best bits of a dive bar – unpretentiousness, friendly strangers, beer, bourbon, rock and roll with flat out fun and games. Literally games! In between watching baseball on our giant projection screen and swigs of Pabst Blue Ribbon, why not take swings in our baseball batting cages – just one of several in venue games to help pass the time. The Evening Standard is right, this place is a riot and there’s nothing else like in the city.
The Unofficial American Consulate in London
Nine Elms, Battersea
Don’t let the diplomatic officiousness of the area fool you, Battersea’s got a vibrant and unpretentious underbelly and Passyunk Avenue – adjacent to the American Embassy – is the Ministry of Fun for Southwest London. National Public Radio in America once hailed Passyunk Avenue the unofficial American consulate in London.
We take our diplomatic mission seriously as we strive to build cultural bridges steeped in the frank, but friendly vibe that characterizes our home city, Philadelphia. Picture exquisitely gritty Philly, the best in regional American food and drink, It’s Always Sunny playing on loops, American bar games stoking competition, fans cheering their favorite teams to the rhythm of Americana rock, with liberal portions of liberty and justice for all. When the weather cooperates, don’t miss the Ambassador’s Terrace, our massive outdoor patio perfect for al fresco partying! The refined Rittenhouse section of Philly meets Southwest London and the union is a foreign relations win for Battersea.
