If Cinco de Mayo had a personality in Philadelphia, it would be loud, glittery, slightly tipsy, and running late for the next bar. If you’re the kind of person who thinks, “This is my Super Bowl” when someone says “bar crawl,” congrats — this one’s for you. Philadelphia is fully booked with bar crawls this year. Some are chaotic. Some are delicious. One is ours (hi, hello), and yes, it’s the one you should absolutely build your day around if we do say so ourselves.

You did it. You ran ten miles straight down Broad Street. Your legs are toast, your playlist is a little played out, and your medal is shining. There’s only one thing left to do: grab a drink (or three) and celebrate the sweaty glory that is the Broad Street Run.

You might be hobbling to the finish line or sprinting straight to brunch, but either way, here are some of our favorite Philly spots to toast your post-run triumph – all walkable or a quick ride from the stadiums:

Not everyone’s into bottle service, strobe lights, and elbowing their way through a packed club just to hear the same remixes you’ve been hearing for the past 10 years. And that’s okay — you can still catch a vibe, break a sweat, and dance without stepping foot into a “club” club.

Philadelphia’s got a place for the rest of us: divey discos, indie DJ nights, and neighborhood bars where the playlist always hits. Swear – these places deliver, no dress code required.

Ditch the heavy coats, grab your sunglasses, and start sipping in the sunshine. Maybe it’s the vitamin D, maybe it’s the socially acceptable excuse to start happy hour at noon – but there’s just something about a daytime drink that rocks our world. Either way, we’ve rounded up the best bars in the city for a solid day drinking session. 

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.

We’ve all had that one night where a few too many cocktails gave us the sudden confidence to belt out “Don’t Stop Believin’” like we were headlining Madison Square Garden. And I get it—sometimes you’re that person at the bar who thinks you’re a diamond in the rough waiting to be discovered by a record label exec who’s lurking nearby. That’s what karaoke nights in Philadelphia are for: bad singing, feel-good vibes, and memories that leave you cringing and laughing the next day.

Think you’ve seen all Philly’s nightlife has to offer? Think again. The city’s best-kept secrets aren’t above ground—they’re underground. Beneath the busy streets, you’ll find some of the coolest spots, from basement bars to live music venues and everything in between. 

Philadelphians, stop what you’re doing—I just stumbled upon Cellar Dog Philly, and it’s giving everything. They’ve been open for about a month, so, okay, not new new, but new to me, and if it’s also new to you – let’s get into it. Cellar Dog Philly is a hangout making great use of the old Howl at the Moon stomping grounds on S. 15th Street. Come here to hang, to drink, to crush your friends at pool.

Has anyone else stepped outside today? Well, if you haven’t yet, DON’T. The rain is doing that cold- sideways-coming-down thing and the wind feels like it’s out to personally ruin your day. That being said, there’s only one fix on my mind and that is the fix of a warm cocktail. We’ve rounded up some of the best spots that know how to turn up the heat with drinks that are cozy, creative, and delicious.

First dates can be nerve-wracking. You’re putting yourself out there, hoping to make a great impression while trying to figure out if there’s a connection.

Are you ready to swap your Netflix binge for some good old pub quiz shenanigans?
