“It is a house in the middle of a town that has been converted to a bar tavern. Some call it a "dive bar", but I call it the people's bar. Welcomes all walks of live. Staff is friendly, and warns it's patrons with true manners if they step out of line, become to obnoxious, happy or loud otherwise.Not a child's school for book learning, or a place where the urban family should bring their family to dine finely. This is a place where the hero's gather to share their battle winnings and rewards with each other. Veterans, handicap, disabled, stressed people just looking to blow off some steam.If you are a gentlemen, and decide to bring your lady? Keep your woman next to you. I might just show up looking for a good time, if you know what I mean - giggety goo. But it is all good in the neighborhood here, because we do not force ourselves on anyone, threaten or violent. Just a down home friendly place where peaceful people exercise their right to happiness and freedom to talk as they see fit, without need of violence.Vegetarian options: Chef cooks it how you want it, upon request. Make your wish their command.Dietary restrictions: Chef cooks it how you want it, upon request. Make your wish their command.Parking: Royal kings are welcome to park their Nobel chariot vehicular transports, as well as a blue collar working man with a beat up pickup truck.Wheelchair accessibility: Friendly to all handicaps, disabilities, impairments, and otherwise.“

“LOVE LOVE LOVE this place! Whether it's the Hams buckets, the local chatter from the regulars, the awesome bartenders (Bill, Shannon, Gerry, etc), the different pop-up food specials served out of the tiny side window outside, the payphone still in operation, the gambling machines, the jukebox music playing (but NOT while the games are on), etc. I could go on and on. Parking is a bit of a bitch, but that's okay as it's worth it. My husband and I feel like we're at our home away from home when we come here and that's exactly how it should be! CASH ONLY AND ATM AVAILABLE. The Happy Tap is just that, a no-frills bar with a lot of character! #ThankYouThursday to the Happy Tap for making us feel so welcome since we moved to the Philly area!“

“So many watering holes in this area. Oscar's feels like the only campfire. I spent 2 days in Center City and came here both days. D was my bartender and welcomed me, remembered my name and my drink. Locals were beyond friendly. On a solo work trip when I felt alone without my family, I truly felt at home at Oscar's. Can't recommend bellying up and shooting the sh*t more. Love Oscar's.“

The Dive Bar • $
947 E Passyunk Ave, Philadelphia - 3.72 miles

“Stepping inside is kind of like visiting Cheers, even if you've never been here before. Everybody's friendly. You're sure to strike up a conversation at the bar with staff or other customers. The draft list is surprisingly decent and always rotating, but there's always a great bottles and cans menu. It's been a while since I've ventured up to the 2nd or 3rd floor, but there's a lot to explore, including a pool table. There's lots of fun stuff on the walls and behind the bar, and the ambiance is usually pretty decent unless an idiot tries to troll everyone on the TouchTunes. It really is the definition of a dive, if only every other one was this nice to spend a couple hours in.“

Atlantis: The Lost Bar Bar • $
2442 Frankford Ave, Philadelphia - 6.29 miles

“I've been living in the area for 5 years now, and Lost is my absolute favorite spot/go to. The bartenders are all absolute amazing (shoutout Frankie, Jay, Mag, and John), the prices can't be beat, the music is always top notch, the patrons are eclectic and super interesting, and the vibe is different (in the best possible way) depending on what day/time you're there. Jay makes amazing cocktails that incorporate fresh ingredients grown in his garden, and Meg's Bloody Mary is legendary. The music always slaps. One night it could be hip hop bangers from Jay-Z and 50, and the next night they could be spinning deep cuts on Indy/alt vinyls. The pool table is super fun, and some of the most chill/friendly regulars are always happy to get a game. I love this bar. An absolute gem! 10/10“

Michael's Place Bar • $$

“Me and the homey were looking for a place to chill after a concert, randomly, We saw this place. We took a chance and illegally parked out front. As soon as we walked in, we were immediately greeted by friendly people . The bartender, whose name I can't remember was amazing. She signed me, and my other friend Shawn up for pool, so that we can mingle with the other patrons. Had an awesome time. Next time were in South Philly, this is the destination!“
