This place will steal your money and sell you nearly 2 year old High Lifes. I just got a sixer from them tonight, and luckily I saw that the cans were two years old. Also, the bartender is way too busy playing with the jukebox than serving customers. They are a bunch of thieves! I rather go to T Barrs for my six pack needs.

Good food and drinks for a decent price. Whitman has the best dive bars selection.

Omg I’m just ate the best buffalo chicken rollers and the coldest beer and they have a great craft beer selection

Nachos are huge so only get if you have 4 people. Tomato soup is a must. The salad feeds two. Get the prime rib burger if you want steak, it’s not traditional prime rib but the sauce is amazing

Another classic Philly horseshoe bar with smoking but this one has a roaring fireplace, hence the name of the bar, duh. My late afternoon PBR draft was $ 2. I’m not sure if this because of a happy hour. They have food here but I haven’t tried it.

I will pretty much echo Tess Y’s review, although I didn’t meet the neighborhood drunk. I stopped in with a friend around 7pm on a Friday while I waited for a package to return on a truck to UPS. We were the only women in there. They had $ 1PBR drafts. That was entirely acceptable to me.

I had a friend visiting from overseas, and he gave me one task: assemble a serious tour of the dive bars of Philadelphia. I saw it as a worthy challenge, and a good chance to expand my repertoire. This place was one of my better finds. Proper South Philly dive. It reminds me of what Moe’s Tavern would be like if somebody yanked it out of Springfield and into the real world, except with a far more attractive bartender. Good jukebox. Cheap-ass drinks(rum and coke and a PBR for $ 5? Yes, please!). Regulars who are already well-past half-drunk by 2pm, wary of noobs but not unfriendly. The biggest surprise: the bathroom. I was expecting something out of Trainspotting, but instead got clean and bright and even a faint whiff of citrusy cleanser still in the air. Maybe that’s just because I was drinking at midday, but nevertheless I say: Truly the best of all possible worlds!

A real neighborhood joint. You can smoke inside. There’s the resident drunk guy who sometimes takes sleeps upstairs and can tell you ridiculous stories. Like how one time he was smoking pot and woke up on the kitchen floor with a cat eating a sausage sandwich on his chest. Six pack of PBR pounders for $ 8 seals the deal.
