.....you will miss the first half of the movie! OK, so they've got a beer for every day of the year - fine. But let's face it, the food is no better than what you'd get at a hundred others pubs in the city. The atmosphere is kind of funereal and rather cramped and cluttered feeling. The worst part is the service! You could end up like the skeleton in the coffin on the second floor waiting for your server! I got the feeling the bartender does double-duty. By the time she gets to you it seems like she's "in no mood for your crap!"

Not much you can do to screw up mussels. But they did. These were the tiniest mussels I have ever eaten...so small the dinner fork they gave me didn't work...I had to use my fingers. I usually love slurping up the broth with bread. Here, the bread was cold and hard...and the broth was so salty it was inedible. If I were in my 20's, I might think this was a cool place to sample Belgian beer. But I'm well beyond that...and for the prices I was paying...the food/ambiance/experience was FAR below par.

My wife and I went to Eulogy mainly because I am a huge fan of Belgian beers and craft beers in general. Eulogy certainly delivers there as they have a great selection of beers from all over the place. A+. As for the food, the core meal at any Belgian restaurant are the mussels so I think it is fair to judge this place on that entree only. I've eaten mussels in Belgium & NYC mostly to this point and compared to a lot of the places I've been too already Eulogy comes in a step below. The mussels are OK, but not great. The supposed 2 lbs of mussels that you order look to be a lot less than that compared to the order sizes I've had elsewhere in Belgium and NYC. Additionally, you don't even get the standard Belgian fries with the meal, you have to pay to order them as well. The fries are great but any normal Belgian establishment includes them with the mussels. Eulogy gives you a hunk of bread instead. As far as seating goes, it is a tight fit. The place is pretty small so be prepared to wait for a seat if you want to sit upstairs during a busy time. I love the general feel of the place as it is kinda divey. I'll certainly be back for the beer but I am not sure if I'll be eating here too often.

Though we are not usually fans of mussels, the ones at Eulogy were excellent! Excellent service and also an excellent knowledge of beer, providing some great suggestions.

They have so many beers on tap that you'll be drooling and so many more bottled beers that your head will spin. Food is OK--but not that great considering the price. There were a few vegetarian choices (better than most), but as the reviewer said--there isn't really anything Belgian here except for the belgian fries. Wait staff was great; very friendly & on-the-ball with your food and drinks. The Asian woman has been there the 3x that I've been there. She's super! Gettin' a bit sick of fries, and fried sandwiches....it would be nice to see a pub serve some decent vegetarian meals that aren't going to give me a oil and salt induced heart attack.

So the funny thing is that Eulogy calls themselves a Belgian bar while the drink and food offerings are straight-up American. If you want Belgian food, there are plenty of good options in Center City like Monk's or Bonte, but Eulogy does hamburgers and bar food extremely well. The crowd there is always fun as well, it's a great place for a meal and a drink - just an American one.
