cheap, seedy -- great dive bar.
Stopped by here on a pub crawl. The place totally reminds me of some dives I used to goto in San Francisco. Dark and seedy, bathrooms covered in graffiti, but with an interesting crowd. The beer
was cold and cheap ($2.30). They have .75 cent hot dogs and chili dogs for $1.25, but they're kinda nasty... But hey, whadda you expect for $1.25! :) Never the less, it's just what the doctor ordered when you stumble into the place at 1:15 AM!
I do believe, I'll be going back here again.…
full of overly educated, elvis costello style drunks. If you can't deal with smoking, rude waitresses or cheap beer this place is not for you. If you are going cause you like to smoke and like drinking good beer for low prices then this place has it!
A Diamond in the Rough. I LOVE THIS BAR!!!! Cheap Beer and you can SMOKE!!! OMG I'm in heaven. Not only is the beer cheap but they have a great variety!!! I was drinking barley wines for $3 and I didn?t have to go outside to enjoy my smoke either!!! If you?re not a smoker or can?t stand the smoke then don?t bother, I?m originally from Scranton so, this is a little place like home for me. Believe it or not there are a lot of people looking for a place like this especially in the City. However, they most likely will not be writing a comment on this page. This is the kind of bar that people find out about from word or mouth. No one in the right mind who is looking for this type of bar will be surfing the net. All the people who wrote lousy comments about this place don?t know what a real Pennsylvania-Philly bar experience is worth! You can have your stinking smoking law and I hope you all get 2nd hand black lung anyway!…
Great for what it is....
It's a cheap smokey bar. It smells bad. The workers are rude and scary.
It's like a barely lit Waffle House that you can get drunk in.
Shots of the cheapest whiskey and a lager are what you drink.
There are plenty of haggard 40-year olds. There are lots of people who I would describe as graduated hipsters (too tired of the scene to even try anymore). Also, there are a lot of lonely wannabe lovers who desperately want to be talked to.
This is the place that Charles Bukowski would go in Philadelphia.
I am going there tonight and I'm going to have a blast.
When the bartender gets mad because I take too long ordering, she'll roll her eyes and take 20 other people's orders in front of me out of spite...
I'll cherish every single moment.…
Never Have Been Treated So Rudely. I will tell everyone that I know to avoid this bar. I was never treated so rudely. I just arrived at the bar and was apparently standing in the way of a disgruntled waitress when I was told to "move" and she literally pushed me. After that, she told me she would "push me harder if I continued to stand there". This should have been handled more politely. Upon asking for management, no one was able to provide any sort of apology. I was treated as if I was in the wrong...and I had only been there for about 5 minutes. From reading the other reviews, it sounds as if miserable servers are the standard here. Stay away!…
