Not as inclusive as the results lead you to believe

Drag night made me think different of how they really are, if you're LGBTQ+ don't support them

Paul Lee

Nice place and the bartender was good.
They had people playing jazz that was a pleasant bonus.

Great dive bar with live music. Very loud, but perfect for a citywide!

Ozzy T

Great bar with live music and great vibe

Thanks for inventing the city wide. I haven’t had a steady job in 15 years, none of my friends will talk to me anymore and I owe the state of Pennsylvania $20,000.

Before I start off with a negative...
Positive: drinks are reasonable, I came for karaoke on Sunday and although it was busy the karaoke dj was very efficient!!! It was a very big list but she ran through the list with no music and kept the request of the patrons her priority, her sound system was set for any professional to perform and her assistant was very kind.
NEGATIVE: I get the bar was closing but rushing patrons and customers out like cattle is insensitive especially when ppl like myself was waiting on an Uber in 20 degree weather... It's distasteful after spending and tipping you gotta wait outside for a ride home after calling a lyft due to limited parking... First time here and this is a very noted experience

Originator of the city wide. Home to the most uniquely welcoming environment anywhere in Philly. One of the great dive bars of America. Like drinking at your friend’s cool apartment–if your friend really loves music and PBR.
