Where To Drink Before Ending Up At Wawa At 2am

"There are a lot of places in the city where you can sip a $13 cocktail or nurse a $9 glass of rose, but tonight is about efficiency, which means you should be drinking at Bob & Barbara’s. It’s the birthplace of the Citywide, and while lots of other bars have replicated it since, this place invented it in the ’90s and no one does it cheaper (or better) than they do. After chasing your Jim Beam with a few sips of PBR, head to the stage area, where they have the same live band every weekend keeping people dancing (or watching) until the lights come on and everyone rolls out to pick up a Sizzli on the way home." - sydney mcelwee
