29 Best Dive Bars near Havertown

“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 am gonna give Krupas tavern 100 starts if possible! I found this hidden gem while staying in airbnb in art museum area! I told the bartenders(owners) that I am soon to move to Philly for work and they took it upon them to ensure I would have a safe neighborhood to live in! She literally took hours out of her day to make sure I find a good neighborhood and gave me all the tips I need to live in this city. This bar is the epitome of small establishment/center of community! The sisters helped me out a lot I am in debt to them and I will be coming back here a lot more to talk to them even tho I will be living outside philly! Their personality is reminds me of a warm cup of soup my grandma made. Krupa's tavern will make you feel like you are home away from home. Thank you for the hospitality! Don't feel intimidated to talk to the sisters they are the sweetest and place is a little slow on the weekends but that's the only time I went in.“

“Best gay bar in south philly.“

“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“

“From the the moment I walked in the door I was welcomed from the staff and patrons in minutes greeting me with a nice cold beer and friendly smiles and instant bonding with those who where there it is now the place I go on a weekly basis just a great place to be with people who just want to enjoy their time offScott M Love“

“Best roast beef sandwich anywhere!!!“

“I've been coming here since 2005. It changed hands recently (the last few years 2020's).
The gentleman who serves most days is professional and kind. Today there was a young white kid, who was on his phone, cocky, and uninterested in serving the customers. Really? I'll keep coming as long as the older guy is there. But the kid has got to b go. Sorry.“

“Great times!!! Great friends!!!“

“Cheers !!!“

“Simply put, The Nail is Awesome.“

“Rudy's is a very laid back tavern with a very welcoming environment. The staff is great (90% of the time ?), the patrons are usually very respectful, and the atmosphere is always light for the most part. DJ for the weekends and every Tuesday night it's karaoke night and it gets pretty hyped up in there and there's always a few really talented guys that come through and bless the mic?. I highly recommend it. An all around good time.“

“Castle Roxx is my go to stop. Every time I come I have a great experience. All of the bar tenders always are amazing and work so hard to make my experience the best in Manayunk. Eric and Vinny are two of my favorite bar tenders. They make even the slowest nights the most fun. I normally come during the week, as opposed to the weekends, and I never regret it.“

“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.“

“This food is ridiculous.....in the best way possible! I eat from here way more often than I should. The food is so good. The fried fish, salmon bites, (salmon cheesesteak, which i'm eating right now),wings, allllll of the sides, everything!!!! Definitely worth the price. My coworkers and I order about twice a week.“

“I met my sweetheart here for a first date. He was recently moved to the Philadelphia area and mentioned in his profile that he hoped to try an Ethiopian restaurant. I suggested Dahlak, which I had been going to for about 40 years, although not recently. The food was still decent, the service and atmosphere mediocre. But I'm giving it five stars because the date was great. He brought me some of his homemade red lentil stew, frozen and carefully wrapped in an Amazon padded envelope that included a bottle of frozen water. We both wanted to see each other again.“

“It is a nice bar where the staff and the customers are very friendly.The drinks are good as well.“

“Drink specials are good. No hookah - music is fun and trendy. The bar has a positive "urban feel" on Friday and Saturday nights. Always a good blend of people and the food is AMAZING. still ?? and the pool games are always Poppin. Come by and enjoy if this sounds like you... If not - don't interrupt the atmosphere

Cash only.“

“your staff were very sweet and went above- and- beyond to accomodate 4 out- of- towners tonight. I have mobility issues, and the staff were so outgoing and kind when helping me out. Thank you so very much! So appreciated! Great pizza, too!“
