#3 Quick summary: LOVE it here, buck-a-shuck happy house is awesome, great crowd, got free dessert when a waitress realized we were frequent patrons
I only have good things to say about Oyster House. The atmosphere is always lively and upbeat. The…More »
#103 I've made plenty of trips here in the past year and I'm primed to make one last trip back before I head to Cali. I love the atmosphere at Rum Bar - because everybody is friendly, there's no need to try too hard to impress the people around you…More »

#5 I understand that a lot of people are disappointed with the fact that Franklin Mortgage isn't as secretive or speak easy-esque as others make it out to be, but really where do such things exist anymore? This is just a really good place to go, get…More »

#82 Bah! How have I not gotten around to writing about Alma de Cuba yet? I've been here about 4 times now and I've loved every single visit. Not only do they have great deals for Happy Hour, but the ambiance is 50% of the reason why anybody should…More »

#133 Not too much to add that hasn't already been said, but Tria was a delightful place to be on a summer afternoon. Their 5 for 5 deal is attractive and drew us to their patio seating. We ordered the two beer choices of the evening and, despite not…More »

#97 A year ago, when I first came to Philly, I stayed in a hotel just north of UPenn for a couple of days before TFA kick-started into gear. On my first day, after coming in exhausted from my flight-and-shuttle journey, I decided to mozy around…More »

#43 On a whim after a typical round of happy hours in the city, my boyfriend and I decided to drop by after having read decent reviews on Yelp. =) Note: Take everything I say with a grain of salt because, by this time, I'd already had about several…More »

#53 After maneuvering our way through the smoke-filled SugarHouse Casino, we found ourselves standing in front of the Refinery. The space is pretty spacious, with the left side clearly delineated as the eating side of the restaurant and the right…More »

#83 I can't say too much about this place since we only dropped by for about 20 minutes on one of our typical Happy Hour rounds of the city. We ordered one round of cocktails off their Happy Hour menu ($3 snacks, $3 beers, $4 wine, $5 champagne, and…More »

#182 Tis a fine place for drinks, but it would not be my first choice. I like the sketchiness of its front door and I'm a fan of the hostess walking us through the second door to our booth. I'm even going to give a thumbs up to their delightful…More »

#132 I couldn't stop it for a while, but I managed to find myself here with several friends week after week for a good two months last year. Why? Because of the free happy hour deal - they sure know how to reel people in. Otherwise, really, I…More »

+ numerous Happy Hour giveaways luring me back
+ strong drinks
+ friendly bartenders
+…More »

#110 It's been a while since I last frequented this place, just because it's way too far from Rittenhouse for me to even bother anymore. However, while living at Temple over the summer for training, this place was the best to grab drinks on the rare…More »
#177 I thoroughly wish I could give this place a 0. The boyfriend and I got a $20 gift certificate (read: $20 paid to the establishment ahead of time) and decided it would be nice to get breakfast there. So, we got there, ordered ourselves 2 Bagel…More »
