The Downright Best Philly Dive Bars

"The "cocktail lounge" moniker might make Bob and Barbara's seem upscale, but rest assured, this is a tried-and-true dive complete with the original shot-and-a-beer special — best known around these parts as a Citywide — plus weekly drag shows and live music on weekends." - Ernest Owens, Sarah Maiellano, Eater Staff
