The regulars were so welcoming to us newbies and the bartenders /servers were awesome!!! The drinks were cold and the shots were huge lol. The cheese fries and Cheesesteak were so yummy. When you walk in, it’s dark and seedy with everyones favorite memories playing on the jukebox. The perfect “dive” bar with the perfect atmosphere. We walked around the city to many different bars of different class, but Oscars Tavern was by far our favorite on every level. We even returned there for a drink and to say goodbye the next day. It’s got that feel good vibe, I seriously loved it.
Love a hole in the wall dive bar? This is the best place. Delicious food, great drinks, perfect service. I constantly travel and it's places like this I need in life.
Real dive bar with some damn good food! My husband and I got their cheesesteaks on more than one occasion during our visit to Philly. Great beer prices compared to a lot of other bars in the area. We will definitely return!
This is everything you could possibly want in a good dive bar. Friendly people, a welcoming bartender, comfortable no-frills atmosphere, very reasonable prices, and cold beer. My mom and I were in town for a concert and were thrilled to stumble upon this gem. We were treated like old friends and we enjoyed chatting with everyone. A perfect experience!!
It's a legit dive bar. But a great one. Beer was cold. Music was playing. Great crowd. Check it out for a few drinks!
Great little gem we recently found! Always walked past thus place on our trips to the city but now it's a new favorite! Greeted by the friendliest bartender as we sat amongst some locals at the bar. Cheap beer and great cheesesteaks!
I like it a lot, the beer is always super cold and well served, and it is always possible to talk without shouting, it is my oasis.
The place was crowded yet the 2 bartenders were efficient and everyone got thier drinks. All the patrons were in a happy holiday mode.
Best bar in Philly! 5 nights in a row while visiting at the end of September beginning of October for NECA Convention I made some friends and upon my return to Philly i will definitely return for a drink! Cheers Dakota Kaech
Oscar's is definitely no frills. And that's great. Because it gives you what you want. You can duck in off the street to escape the intense cold, or unbearable heat. The hospitality is warm and the draft beer is always cold. And very reasonable for Center City Philly. A place where you'll find dudes wearing work boots, and others wearing suits. And there's no surprises. Temper your expectations and you're never disappointed.
Cash-only hangout spot great for the young and young at heart. Perfect place to watch the Phillies. Generous pours and solid prices. Good bartenders as well.
Me and my fiancé had a great time :) I am so happy we could hang out for drinks this late :) thank you Philly. Bartender made good drinks.
