Bob and Barbara’s

Where Pabst Blue Ribbon embraces Drag

If you want the perfect dive bar plus a racially diverse, gay and straight crowd, welcome Bob and Barbara’s.
Cantina Los Caballitos

Hip Mexican fare and local brews in South Philly

Johnny Brenda’s

Delicious food + great beer + live music = a Fishtown landmark

Located at the intersection of Frankford and Girard Avenues on the southern tip of Fishtown, Johnny Brenda’s is, at once, the catalyst, champion, living room, kitchen/dining room and concert hall of its neighborhood.
National Mechanics

Nostalgic cuisine with a side of humor

Oozing with authenticity — and a healthy doze of eccentricty — National Mechanics serves outstanding beer alongside old-school favorites like grilled cheese with tomato soup.
North Bowl

It’s not just about bowling at this Northern Liberties hotspot

Located in a former mechanics garage that was lovingly renovated over the past several years (with plenty of blood, sweat and tears) by owner Oron Daskal, North Bowl is an awesome addition to the neighborhood of Northern Liberties.
North Third

A great corner spot in Northern Liberties with serious bar food

Great beers, outdoor seating and a Northern Liberties address. What’s not to love?
Royal Tavern

Amazing bar fare and a great jukebox make this a South Philly favorite

Holding court in a former South Philly Italian restaurant, the Royal Tavern is a jukebox- and food-fueled establishment that’s grown to become a neighborhood favorite.
Silk City

Part diner, part bar and part dance club, Silk City is one of Philly’s coolest night spots.
