Clear your Thursday night plans! The Eagles launch their 2025 NFL season tomorrow at 8:20 p.m. at Lincoln Financial Field, facing the Dallas Cowboys in a rivalry that never disappoints.

No tickets to the Linc is never a problem here in the beautiful city of Philadelphia, as every bar with television access will be streaming the game. However, all bars are not created equal when it comes to a great viewing experience. Here’s how to make the most of Game Day.

The Oval at Eakins Oval is winding down its summer run, closing on September 14 after nearly three months of transforming eight acres in front of the Art Museum into the city’s most colorful pop-up playground.

Since the middle of June, The Oval has been a hub of live performances, movie nights, mini golf, and easy summer lounging. Now, with only a few weeks left, Philadelphians are squeezing in one last visit before the gates close until next year.

This Saturday, August 23, swap your usual beer spot for something a little out of the ordinary. The Fonthill Castle Beer Fest, hosted on the stunning grounds of Doylestown’s very own Fonthill Castle. This is one fundraiser‑meets‑festival you just need to attend.

This Friday night, sneak a peek at what life at sea during Prohibition felt like! Philadelphia’s waterfront is inviting you to step straight into the Roaring Twenties aboard the historic Cruiser Olympia.

Ozzy Night is roaring into MilkBoy tomorrow, a tribute to the Prince of Darkness himself, Ozzy Osbourne. If you’ve ever lost yourself in “Crazy Train” or felt the adrenaline of Black Sabbath’s heavy riffs, this night is for you. Expect nothing less than a sonic journey through the legends of metal.

Block party of the summer? Yeah, that’s happening tomorrow.

Northern Liberties is shutting it all down, from Spring Garden to Girard, and turning it into one giant day-long celebration. If you’ve never hit up the 2nd Street Festival, prepare yourself for a daul filled with live music, cold drinks, street eats, and shopping.

After the sun goes down and the temps stay high, it’s time to head straight to the many Philadelphia patios scattered about the city. These late-night patios are where the real summer magic happens, whether you’re looking for low-key date night energy or somewhere to cool off with a group of friends and a frozen drink in hand.

Bastille Day (July 14) may be a French holiday, but here in Philadelphia, we’ll take any excuse to pop champagne, snack on cheese, and dance like we’re in a Parisian discotheque. Should you be a Francophile or just in it for the cocktails, here's where to celebrate Bastille Day in Philadelphia this Monday:

By the time Friday afternoon rolls around, we’re all looking for that perfect way to start the weekend. If your vibe is more “sip wine in a sculpture garden” than “sweat in a club,” the Garden Bar at the Rodin Museum is where you need to be.

It's official: Philadelphia’s happiest happy hour is back.

Starting today, Wednesday, June 4, Center City SIPS returns for its 21st season, giving you the perfect excuse to round up your friends and dive into midweek cocktails, bites, and sun filled hangs. SIPS really is Philadelphia’s way of saying, "summer starts now."

Philadelphia is destined to get loud, proud, and full of color this weekend, because Philly Pride lands once again in our fair city.

Once Cinco de Mayo rolls around, we, as a society, clear our schedules, text the group chat, and make a whole weekend of it.

Scores of sombrero-ed Philadelphians flood the streets, the drinks hit a little harder, and the tacos somehow taste even better. Taco-stuffed bar crawls, margarita tours, high-energy dance floors, and even a few events that make you feel productive before the tequila kicks in are on the roster this year. It’s a choose-your-own-adventure vibe, and all roads lead to good times.

First Fridays usually bring to mind Olde City gallery-hopping and some wine sippage. Olde City galleries – we love you, but this Friday, it might be time to flip the script. If you’re over the whole stand-awkwardly-at-a-bar-while-pretending-you-love-vodka-sodas-and-praying-for-a-good-DJ scene, I have a better idea. Every First Friday, SPIN turns into the kind of party where you can sip something tasty, challenge someone to a ping pong match, and lose gloriously. 

Get your body ready to sweat in close proximity to familiar strangers again, because The Barbary is officially reopening this weekend—and we could cry actual tears of joy.

Philadelphia is about to turn 50 shades of green because St. Patrick’s Day is coming in HOT. Doesn’t matter if you’re chugging Guinness, belting out “Shipping Up to Boston,” or making new best friends in a bar bathroom, this city knows how to celebrate no matter where you are. (Do you even know where you are on St. Patrick’s Day? Like in Philadelphia? Or the Universe? ‘Cause same.) Let’s get into it.

It’s time to dig out every green thing you own – though we Philadelphians are no strangers to the color green (especially this past week) – because St. Patrick’s Day is coming, and in Philadelphia, that means one thing and one thing only: Erin’s Express. If you’re not already prepping your liver, lacing up your most comfortable bar-crawling shoes, and mentally preparing to drink your weight in Guinness, you’re doing St. Paddy’s Day a disservice. And if you’ve never been? Consider this your official welcome to one of the wildest traditions Philly has to offer.

Okay, let’s take a deep breath because I don’t think it’s fully sunk in yet. OUR EAGLES DID IT AGAIN. Super Bowl LIX champs, baby! And now, it’s time to do what Philadelphia does best—throw the biggest, loudest, greenest parade this city has ever seen.

And before you ask—YES, we are absolutely taking a PTO day, YES, we are dressing head to toe in Birds gear, and YES, we will be losing our voices screaming “GO BIRDS” at strangers on Broad Street.

Okay, Eagles fans, this is not the year to be sitting on your couch with a sad bag of chips and a can of lukewarm beer. The Birds are back in the Super Bowl, and Philadelphia is ready to party harder than Broad Street after the NFC Championship. Lucky for you, there are still tickets to some open-bar Super Bowl events—let’s break it down before they sell out!

It’s time to suit up in green, scream at TVs, and prepare for what we do best: turning the Super Bowl into a citywide party. Philadelphia is ready to turn up, and if you thought the energy was wild when we clinched our playoff spot, just wait until you see the city this weekend. Eagles fans ‘round these parts don’t play when it comes to watching the game; we throw the kind of parties that could make national news.
