Top Spots Where BYOF Is Totally Welcome

Garage

A beer-lover’s haven with shuffleboards and long tables, Garage lets you bring in takeout from right next door—or order it. Cheesesteaks from Pat’s and Geno’s? Totally allowed. Live a little, eat well.

Brewery ARS 

This brewery invites guests to grab takeout pizza from nearby joints or bring in food trucks parked outside. Pair those pies with their rotating house brews for a chill combo.

Love City Brewing Co.

BYOF is part of Love City’s philosophy. Want BBQ, vegan dishes, or something custom? Bring it on. Their lineup of house brews and open setup makes it feel like eating at home (but with better beer).

The International 

This chic locale features an L-shaped shuffleboard and a neighborhood vibe. No kitchen here, so feel free to bring in whatever you’re craving.

Drinks where you want, food from anywhere…what’s not to love? Next time you’re hungry and thirsty, skip the overpriced bar menu and build your own perfect night out.

And if you love the mix-and-match vibes of eating one place and drinking another, don’t miss our guide to the best spots for cocktails and pizza pairings. Because nothing goes together quite like a good drink and a hot slice. Check it out here:Where to Get a Cocktail and a Slice in Philadelphia.
