Posted by Foobooz on March 5th, 2008
Philadelphia Weekly names the top 50 bars in Philadelphia and all in all we like the list. Might have something to do with PW actually asking for our opinion on the matter.
The Top 10:
- Grace Tavern
- N. 3rd
- Good Dog
- Sugar Mom’s
- McMenamin’s Tavern
- Standard Tap
- Royal Tavern
- For Pete’s Sake
- Oscar’s Tavern
- Raven Lounge

Hey, a top 50 list that doesn’t suck! I’d move Southwark up to #4 though.

Ugh, the Raven at #10? Really? I’ve been consistently annoyed and disappointed by that place.

I like the list! Although I would definitely make National Mechanics higher on the list.

I want to love Grace Tavern, I really do, however, I think it absolutely sucks. Decent food, beer is good, any decent bar has the same kind of beer on tap. The service is ridiculously bad. The “too cool for school” bartenders, mainly the bald headed foolio, were pricks to me and my GF on two different occasions. Sorry just can’t get on board…and Raven at 10th…WTF?
