GREAT NEIGHBORHOOD BAR FRIENDLY PEOPLE GREAT FOOD

by TommyODonnell

I had the extreem pleasure of accidently coming upon this wonderful bar with my baseball buddy Erin, who flew in from St. Louis to see the Phillies last 3 regular season games. The staff at the bar were very friendly and made our experience FUN, especially the owner Bud. we got into GREAT baseball conversations with the ballpark workers before the game, and the BEST Philly Cheesestake Hogie in town. Just a WONDERFUL experience to cap off a GREAT PHILLIES Serie. GO PHILLIES

• Pros: FRIENDLY PEOPLE
• Cons: NONE

Before or after the game, this sports bar is the prime place to celebrate or commiserate.

In Short
Just one look at the aged wood and the sprawling, old-school oval bar lets customers know local Phillies fans congregated here long before the '80s heyday of sports bars. The Philadium has plenty of relevant memorabilia on display, as well as its fair share of gratuitous neon. Unpretentious like its neighborhood, the menu of burgers and cheese steaks, roast pork and roast beef attracts the nearby stadium's staff as well as its audience.
