The Cauldron Philly - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Really unique and cool spot. The drinks were bubbly and sparkly and a lot of fun, including non alcoholic ones. Food was tasty and pretty well priced for a downtown spot. We didn't do the reservation right for potion making, website could be slightly more clear but it was our fault.

My girlfriends and I had an absolute blast at The Cauldron! Whether you’re a die hard Potterhead or you just want to hangout in the city and try something new, this is a must do! The decor inside is on theme, you get a cape/robe and witch hat to wear while you’re there, and the list of drinks are comprehensive and fun. The whole experience is interactive - you start off at the unicorns and then move onto making your own drinks (“potions”). The service is kind, attentive and warm. We had snacks to munch on because those drinks are stronger than you think! Definitely recommend the Brussels sprouts which are super crispy and flavorful. I would definitely come back!

First off upon walking in you are automatically transported to a fun Halloween bar, we were greeted immediately. We were given a cloak and hat, the hat you can keep in the end. Our professor & server was Lana and she was amazing and so friendly! The drinks were so fun to make and they were tasty as well. Lots of options to choose from. You can do alcohol or no alcohol. Definitely a unique experience!

Really bad experience.
Everything looks very cheap. The glasses are different each and every gun even if the drink is the same..

But the top of it all the food looks like a 14-year-old made it..

My burger bun what was born to crisp.
But somehow the kitchen still release that dish out like it was nothing when it arrived to me it was hard as a rock you can see it in the picture very well
After I get the attention of the waiter and showed him what is about 20 minutes later I got the burger cold with a bon that was not even preheated.

Please change your oil that could be an hazardous thing by the way.

The peak of the evening was that the server decided his own tip...

Obviously I refused but that was absolutely the tip of the iceberg.

Save your money go somewhere else!!

I took my kids here for a Halloween potion making and we loved it! No complaints whatsoever. Can't say how the food was because we didn't eat, but the drinks were delicious. I will be back for an adults only potion making.

Visited for the first time over the weekend for the Halloween potion-making event. We were a group of 4 and got seated in the back of the bar. The experience was neat with the potion making but left a little to be desired. Service was a little flighty - never offering us food menus but giving to other tables around us. Finally ordered but forgot to bring us one of the apps we ordered. Had to ask for water which came out warm, had to ask multiple times for ice for water and cocktails. The book and supplies were sticky at our table and had to ask for napkins. Gratuity was automatically included so felt like maybe the server didn’t care to help as much. Overall was fun to make the potions but not sure if I’d go back unless it was a less busy night.

My friends and i love the cauldron, and after 3 visits I've learned during the holiday seasons, expect a wait and a slightly rushed feeling. Now, if you go on a regular day during the off-season, it's on time and a more chill vibe. It's also a good place for kids ages 6 and up because my daughter loved making the mocktails. The food is good too. We all love the Brussel sprouts, fries, cheese steak empanadas, and pigs n a blanket. The service is pretty good, no real complaints. All in all, I love it and will be back.

This place is so much fun!! Did a potion making experience for a bachelorette party and everyone loved it. I was DD that night and was happy to hear they had a non alcoholic experience that was just as thorough as the alcoholic one. Jules and Zach were the best potion masters!
