One of the best bars in Philly. The establishment is cash only, but does have an ATM on-site.
Cool little neighborhood bar. Nothing fancy about it. Have a selection of board games for people to enjoy.
A nice neighborhood bar with a variety of craft beer selections. I've been told that the owner is one of the original Sigma Sound kids. A group of young people who camped out side Sigma Sound Studios when David Bowie recorded Young Americans here in Philly way back in 1974. It was a real friendly place my friend introduced me to some of her friends and we had a wonderful time talking and listening to Bowie songs.
Good prices on beer and sandwiches. You can get pitchers at the tables, as well as make your own beer flights. The bathrooms are really narrow and awkward. The jukebox is great though. Cash only - there is an atm. This is a good dive - pretty much the only one around the neighborhood. There is outdoor seating in the summer.

I am a fan of the "dive" type bar. Let's get that said now. I like a place where the folks know each other, the space is clean but with no frills or crazy trendy updates, and the bartenders aren't carving ice cubes for each drink. This is a shining example of the genre. I have been to Doobies several times (though I live out of state) and each time, busy or not, I get a warm welcome from a bartender and a drink right away. The locals are very laid back and comfortable in the space and that calm comfort is infectious. I immediately felt at ease, while still being well aware that I was not a local or a favorite (as it should be!!!). The events (like trivia) are lively and welcoming (nearly won, and found regulars were rooting for the upset). The food takes some time but not any more than you'd think, and what I had tasted exactly as i expected. As far as prices, you're in Philly. Nuff said! but they beat several bars in walking distance on beer and that is all I care about. I figure bar food is supposed to taste good and there for you when you stop caring about where you can get it 75 cents cheaper. In short, go, drink, and soak in the experience. It has won awards and you'll see why!

Great local joint with a small but excellent beer list, interesting patrons, only one television (a GOOD thing), friendly barkeep, and food that fills the need for food at a bar. You can come here and read a book, talk to someone new, or just mind your own business and beer.

Doobies is a great bar. Nice people in a casual atmosphere. Patti is wonderful and there was this band called Rustic Music Service that was cookin! Sort of Roots Rockabilly Blues. They were the icing on the cake... they may have even been the cake! Great place to ring in the New Year. Thanks Doobies!
Doobies is an authentic Philadelphia neighborhood treasure, the longest running dive bar in the Fitler Square neighborhood. Family owned since the 1970s, serving a fine selection of beer and cocktails in a cozy setting to a diverse mix of customers, from artists and locals to college students and tradespeople.
They’re open for takeout during the pandemic, even for draft beers, cocktails and slushees to go.
Try the voodoo cowbell milk chocolate stout and vanilla ice cream float - it’s the best adult dessert in a go cup you may ever have.
Cozy environment, good beer and food at a fair price, with free to use board games. The staff and most customers are interesting characters. Vegan/vegetarian food options, and the establishment helps support care for shelter cats.
