  Update - 1/14/2011 ROTD 2/20/2011

Oh geez, this is probably the most necessary update that I will ever make because you guys - I GOT BANGS.

Here's the deal. I am pretty boring in terms of my hair and really god damn scared of change after an AWFUL haircut 3 years ago at another salon.…More »

    I can't even BEGIN to tell you how happy I am than I found Fringe.

5.0 star rating
  3/17/2010 ROTD 6/11/2010

I don't often have people come visit me from out of town, but when I do or happen to come across lost-looking tourists in Old City, I ALWAYS recommend the Mutter Museum. It's hands-down my favorite museum in the city.

So for those that aren't already…More »

  2/23/2009 ROTD 4/7/2009

Having recently moved to South Philly and realizing that A) most of my friends live too far north to drink with me, and B) I miss Doobies A LOT and need a new bar to call my own, I quickly got over my paranoia of looking like an alcoholic and…More »

5.0 star rating
  4/18/2010 ROTD 8/24/2010

Tonight I went to Woody's for probably my 5th or 6th time and experienced the most glorious moment of my life. In the midst of their typical Saturday night dance party upstairs, the DJ turned on Lady Gaga's Bad Romance and literally every single gay…More »

5.0 star rating
  9/6/2010 ROTD 12/5/2010

I am SO SO SO very happy that this place exists. I can't even begin to tell you how much my lovely neighborhood of Pennsport NEEDED some place for us to hang out. There is basically nothing by sketchy bars and seedy bodegas and while I do find the…More »

Neighbourhood: Rittenhouse Square

3.0 star rating
  Update - 12/9/2009

The quality of food has SEVERELY gone down hill, and I just don't have the patience to deal with this place ever in my life. It's a good tourist location, but I've lived in Philadelphia for over 2 years now and know of plenty of bars with the same…More »

Category: Dive Bars

Neighbourhoods: Rittenhouse Square, Avenue of the Arts South

4.0 star rating
  9/14/2007 ROTD 1/19/2008

McGlinchey's is the type of dive bar you seen in a movie and think to yourself "I really wish I could be there right now". It's dark, smokey, has a big round bar, and an extremely diverse crowd. You walk in and immediately feel like you've been there…More »

Ohh, Stephan Starr. I've really really tried to avoid your restaurants, let alone LIKING one of them, but alas. My plan has failed horribly.

I recently spent my 22nd birthday here with my family and had an ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL meal. We spared no…More »

Recently updated lists from Lauren D.

This is why you're fat (16)

Well, not really, but these restaurants are the reason why I just may end up as a fat grandmother someday.

Hangover haunts (14)

I eat like crap after a night of drinking, so if I'm going to get something unhealthy it might as well be delicious.

The outcasts (15)

These places suck - avoid them like the people who were awful in high school.

Lush-ious Lauren (10)

I drink way too much and almost embarrass myself way too often at these places.
