If anyone is in from out of town , I take them here. It is the finest example of good and cheap done with excellence and quality. Be sure to great Scott, the bouncer, with respect-he's earned it.

CITY GRIT

The most classic of classic dive bars - Oscar's is a great spot for cheap beers and good times. Load up the jukebox and settle in for the evening.

3.25 tall beers ... drink many$8 long island iced teas ... drink one or twoorder as many people on one tab as possible, waitresses rarely remember what was ordered and estimate low

Jake Smith

This place is best experienced when a bus is blocking the sun from getting in and the cook has played $10 worth of songs on the jukebox .

Kevin B.

Cheap beer and everyone treats you like family. This was once an exclusive place for the Center City elite. Now, it's the best neighborhood dive in Center City . Enjoy it!

Tom Shakely

A fun place especially on a less crowded post-work weeknight. Sundays are true days of rest, though: the kitchen's closed, which means no food of any variety.

Nicole Johnson

The best place to get drunk and eat chicken ! Ladies if you need a compliment go here! The men are like vultures! Lol

Mya McDuffie

Awesome little hole in the wall with really great atmosphere. Very relaxed place.

Get the dinner special if you're feeling gluttonous: 1 & 1/2 cheesesteaks for around $5 and a 22oz. Lager for $3.25

Mark Dieterich

Nothing like getting a 22oz long island iced tea and sharing with your best friends after drinking cheap beers .

Philadelphia Magazine

It’s a hellhole, yes, but it's barely changed. And everybody—from the corporate honchos to the hipsters to the skateboard kids to the old men with their behinds glued to the stools—gets along.

Guha Arunkumar

As divey as it gets. Try getting seating further inside past the booths .

Ricky Sherrill

A goto bar for beers in the Rittenhouse Square area.

Tatiana Ann

Awesome place. Great prices, fun people, and make sure you try their fries !!

Dutch Umbrella

The grill in front serves great cheesesteaks and other grill foods. Have a bite to eat with your tall draft .

Philadelphia Magazine

The only way to own an Oscar's t-shirt is to win it on Wednesday nights.

Rick Stowell

Philly’s oldest dive bar . Guinness and a Papst $8.25 total.

Phenomenal cheap burgers and beer , with parents' Midwestern basement decor.

Jimmy Leahy

Fun place to go. Def. a dive bar to the core, but worth it.

NNamdi Speed

Cool spot. It's become really popular

Laura McPhail

Worst "service" provided by the rudest waitress ever. We got up and left without ordering anything simply based on her attitude. There is no way I would give one cent of my money to this business.

Jessica Pugliese

Huge beer for cheap ...
