A great place with fantastic staff, punters, and atmosphere! They may have contributed (along with England) to a large hangover, but let's not blame them for getting things right!
This place hasn't changed one bit in ten years and that's a good thing. You can even still cop a cigarette there.
Awesome local dive bar that you can still smoke in and enjoy a drink! Lots of locals and regulars but are also very friendly and make it a fun atmosphere. The food, however, doesn't truly exist aside from hot dogs, which, as I was told before going don't have the greatest reputation.
A home in a the ground, center city drinking hole without pretensions an MD heart drink, if you don't mind the cigarette smoking. It's like a1986 throwback with the Stones playing in the background. A great place for nostalgia
I'm over 60, so take my opinion with a tbsp of salt.
It's a great bar! The kind I grew up with and always liked. Drink, smoke, joke, and then go home. I like it!
Downtown dive bar (as opposed to a neighborhood dive bar) that will prob never be fully gentrified.
Sometimes has dollar drafts, but the beer and liquor prices are cheap across the board. It’s a smoking bar.
Nice multicolored glass windows. It’s prob the best dive bar in the downtown area. The horseshoe shaped bar encourages people watching, and there’s always a few characters in there...
Not from Philly but our local friend wanted to take us because of the known reputation. Arrived around 12:30. Out of my first requested beer - but my 2nd panic choice was delicious. Out of hot dogs. Bartender shut off juke box promptly at 1am and called last call. After a bribe, she put one last song on and threatened that everyone must leave by the time it ended. Mama was tired. My jacket will smell like smoke for a week. 10/10 would recommend. We'll be back.
Listen this is honestly a great to sit down chat with your friends and turn up type of bar. Bar tenders are respectful and a vibe. I see negative reviews on here so I was sketch at first but my overall experience was as great and felt welcoming I highly recommend this bar for anyone who just wanna have a nice night and drink definitely will be back :). Nothing but respect for this bar.
This place is like going into a time machine. Enjoy a $4.75 pint of Guinness, light up a smoke and relax.
DON'T USE THE ATM. I loved the stinky, cheap, smoky, dive bar aesthetic (no joke), but I made the mistake of using the ATM in the bar. It charges $3 for the withdrawal, $3 for a balance check (which I definitely did not do) and another $2 just for fun. In all fairness, it is a dive bar. Seedy activity is kind of par the course. However, to make up for the extra fees, they've got great pours, great bartenders and a great clientele.
Went in for a beer after work and after five minutes it felt like I'd been going there for years. Cheap drinks, good people, great bar.
Survived the pandemic. Four stars as a true dive bar. Not the best place for a first date though lol. Also, if you're bothered by smoke not the best place for you.
