“Great place Thanks for having us“

“Great people!! Thanks so much Doug for taking care of us and letting us order in amazing cheese steaks you recommended! We will definitely be back my new/old-school nostalgic favorite stop any time I'm out in Philly! Great to meet some new phriends and phamily! Rock on🤘👍❤️💯💥“

“great foods , creative tastes. never leaving you unsatisfied fd“

“Probably the best and only $4 sandwich I’ve ever had. The menu feels like you’re taking a step back in time with the prices. It’s a dive, don’t expect gourmet. Service is great, food is great, and we will be coming back for a drink next time we are in the area.“

“Bartender Bobby is great!!“

“This is the best good thing that you could ever spend your time on! The atmosphere, the bartenders ( T.C especially) and the talent! The talent that strolls through here are not just talented but they are amazingly talented.. especially if you make a Wednesday night Open Mic hosted by the great Kelvin! And don’t miss Badass Barry on the Harmonica and a blues back acoustic guitar binge.. and then the dapper T.C slips into a double talent as a no joke musician also!
The place is so welcoming and so alive that you’d really miss out if you came to Philly South and didn’t check this Gem out ! I promise 🎵~M“

“Great local spot. My husband and I used to come here when we lived in Philadelphia. Came back for a visit after being gone 10 years. Elaine gave us updates on friends and neighbors from our old street. She’s incredibly knowledgeable about the neighborhood’s history. You can get a quality lager for $4. Cash only.“

“Als Touristen sind wir ohne große Erwartungen ins Dirty Frank's. Wir wurden im Prinzip am ersten Tag schon als Stammgäste angesehen. Ab dem zweiten Tag, fühlten wir uns auch so. Absolut super Service, sehr nette Menschen im der Bar. Coole Jukebox, günstige Getränke. Sollte es uns jemals wieder nach Philly verschlagen, wird Dirty Frank's Bar das Erste sein, was wir besuchen werden.“

“I been going to Mickey's for over 30 years. I took my Sean to the dentist across the street. So I wandered in and all the friends I made back in the day were there and remembered me. The bartender remembered the day my wife Patrice died, I held her in my arms til her last breath. Her will to live was so powerful that she pulled the whole oxygen tent into her mouth.When she finally let it out that was it.I told everyone that I was staying. Eventually people stated to leave but I wouldn't let go of my precious girlI couldn't accept it. Our Heather finally had to leaveI stayed and held her until she lost all her color and turned to ice. I realized she was gone. And I finally could stop cuddling her like she loved.I walked out of that hospital in a trance. I drove down to Mickey's and walked in but I couldn't talk. The guys knew something was wrong. They were giving me space . I got a vodka and went to the front door to just gaze at the sky. The bartender came over and asked if I was alright. Stood in the doorway with me.Almost instantly the sky opened up and the fiercest hail storm We ever seen just came outta nowhere and everyone was in awe, gaping at the intensity and I turned around and said Patrice just died and these are the tears of heaven ? ?They were stunned, they all loved her!!Anyone that knew her loved her. You could not help it. I was the luckiest man in the world ⚘️ and suddenly she was gone. Beem 15 years and I still grieve.I cry every time I have to talk about her.ICry when I think about her. So today in Mickey's I was overwhelmed with emotions when they welcomed me and remembered that Hailstorm . I cried uncontrollable. I am just trying to get this out my friends. Sometimes it helps“

“Sorry I didn't have any food. But a great little corner bar. Old time stuff. Just a place to go in and have a couple drinks. And pick up on the occasional conversation, which can get very interesting. Great bartender will make what you ask him to.
Please do not pass on good information about this place. I don't want anybody else finding out about it.
If you're lucky you can run into the psychologist that I ran into, and get a session for the price of a couple drinks.

Parking: The later in the evening the better. Meters on both sides of the street. Went at 10:00 p.m. had the whole street to myself.“

“I enjoy Mikey’s because it’s a very comfortable spot to enjoy good company and you can bring your own food And meet many friendly people It’s become my favorite spot on macdade“

“This place is so cool, it was a unique experience. Kelly was our bartender, she was so friendly and cool. If you are in town, definitely swing by this place, drinks are cheap, and conversation is priceless. I would give it more stars if possible.“

“Best gay bar in south philly.“

“Loved my first show at The Nail. Coming from a VFW/Fire hall DIY metal scene The Nail has that nostalgic feel in a dive bar with amazing, kind staff, good bar food & its small enough I was basically on stage at my table while watching The Last of Lucy & Pathogenic bands I never expected to see that up close & personal. Chris the guy running the show/managing the venue was super friendly & helpful & made me feel at home after driving 2 hours from Lancaster. Definitely coming back asap! 🙏🏾🤘🏾“

“By far one of the best local corner bars in all Philly. I have been going here on and off for over 20 years and never once had a bad time. They give nice size shots at great prices. If you want the type of place where you can relax and feel like one of the family this is the spot you you.“

“First time here earlier today. The bar was good, but I did not get a chance to try the food. Hope to do that eventually.“

“Quality place for good spirits and great tv s for sports“

“always a great time, and it's nice to walk in and everybody knows your name, and those who don't are your friends by the end of the night“

“Family own business with a deep and loving history of the name!!!! She will be home soon!!!!“

“Wednesday wing nights are something to write home about when locked up. If u gonna hate on small wings ...go home ...nice sized. Well done. With maybe 100 types of flavors. This place throws down ...the wings slap...so many flavors to choose from.
Order early y'all.... Wings make the world go round.
These people bring the heat and the good grub.“
