Philadelphia has always been a sports town. Eagles chants echo through subway cars, Flyers jerseys show up in line at Wawa, and you can’t walk two blocks without bumping into someone ready to argue stats. But here’s the thing: until now, women’s sports fans in Philadelphia haven’t had a space that’s truly theirs.

That’s changing, and it’s about time. Across the country, women’s sports bars are popping up as hubs of energy, inclusivity, and community. And Philadelphia, never one to sit on the sidelines, is finally joining the movement in a big way.

Step off Walnut Street and head upstairs to Celine, a dimly lit, music-driven cocktail lounge tucked above 1224 Walnut St. in Philadelphia. Here, plush seating invites you to sink in while carefully curated soundscapes set the mood without drowning out conversation.

Think you’ve hit every happy hour worth your hangover? Think again. Philadelphia’s bar scene is constantly changing, and lately, a new crop of spots has been popping up with enough personality to shake up your weekend routine. These bars are fresh, fun, and bringing new energy to the city’s already stacked lineup.

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.
