The originators of the citywide , still a very authentic dive bar . Live music most nights and drag shows on Thursdays

Very awesome place! They sometimes have live bands performing ! And you can't not get a PBR of course

Philadelphia Magazine

A classic dive, full of PBR , problem drinkers and history. This is where the Citywide Special was invented. The best way to drink here is to slap $3.50 on the bar , ask for one, drink it, and repeat.

I'm from NY and I don't remember getting this drunk. The live band was amazing and the people were great!

Cozy dive bar that is cash only . Go for a cheap beer when there’s live music , and you’re guaranteed to have a laugh.

Must try the pickleback ! One shot of whiskey followed by a shot of pickle juice . It's great
