BYOB Restaurants – Bring Your Own Bottle
Map all locationsA Philadelphia diner’s favorite four letters: BYOB. That’s short for “Bring your own bottle” and that’s exactly what diners are doing throughout the region. Today’s BYOB landscape includes cozy mom-and-pop places, authentic ethnic eateries and four-star caliber finds.
Many new BYOBs are opening in Center City, but even more are thriving in off-the-beaten-path neighborhoods such as South Philadelphia, Northern Liberties and Bella Vista, encouraging both residents and visitors to explore the city’s diverse and bustling communities.
