Khyber Pass Pub

Khyber Pass Pub is an Old City neighborhood bar centered on New Orleans-inspired cooking, Southern flavors, and Cajun and Creole traditions. The kitchen also includes vegan options, giving the menu room for different dietary preferences while keeping the focus on generously seasoned regional food. The setting is informal and social, with a food program designed to sit comfortably alongside a full bar.

The drink list brings together 22 rotating craft drafts, craft bottles, wine, classic cocktails, and a substantial selection of brown spirits. The changing draft lineup gives the bar a reason to appeal to beer drinkers looking for variety, while the cocktail and whiskey-focused selections offer alternatives beyond beer. The bar program has an elevated feel without moving away from the relaxed character of a neighborhood pub.

A wood back bar adds a distinctive historical detail to the room. It was made by German woodworkers and had a connection to Philadelphia’s 1876 Centennial Celebration before becoming part of Khyber Pass Pub. That feature gives the main bar a sense of place and adds visual interest to an otherwise casual drinking and dining environment.

The venue includes both indoor and outdoor seating. A larger upstairs space extends the pub beyond its main dining and bar areas, creating room for dancing, live music, art shows, private parties, and other gatherings. Its flexible layout suits group occasions as well as evenings built around entertainment. The upstairs also has six rotating craft drafts and a full bar.

Khyber Pass Pub works for diners seeking Southern, Cajun, or Creole food, beer fans interested in rotating craft selections, and groups looking for a bar with space for events. The combination of food, drinks, music, and adaptable rooms gives the Old City address a broad neighborhood-pub identity, with enough structure for a meal and enough activity for a longer evening.
