About Oscar's Tavern

Oscar's Tavern is a popular spot located in the heart of Center City, Philadelphia. This unassuming place offers a cozy atmosphere with friendly faces and hospitable bartenders. It features a lively music scene and Philly Eagles decor, creating a chill vibe that attracts both locals and visitors. The menu is simple and affordable, with classic American fare like cheesesteaks, hamburgers, and sausages. The cheesesteaks are especially popular, offering generous portions, with one order providing 1 1/2 cheesesteaks. The bar has a great selection of adult beverages, including a signature Manhattan made with 90% whiskey, and a touch tunes jukebox adds to the lively atmosphere. Despite its small size, the tavern gets pretty crowded on weekends, but those who manage to grab a table can enjoy a relaxed night out. It is often described as a cultural heritage site and the closest thing to a prohibition bar today. Just remember, it is a cash-only bar, maintaining a laid-back, hole-in-the-wall vibe that makes it a favorite for both locals and visitors alike.
