What people say, in short
Bar Hygge is a cozy Fairmount spot near the Art Museum, recommended for good food without pretension. One diner calls it a great date spot, though notes food comes out very fast, and another has sat at the bar with a book. One commenter sees plenty of kids there and mentions outdoor seating, and a diner from South Philly makes the trip up every once in a while. A single diner wishes the food were better.
