"Breaking up with someone means that you’ll be paying 100% of the rent soon—unless you’re planning to move in with one of the 30 people you swiped right on in the last hour. When a breakup coincides with a need to budget, there’s no better place to do it than at a dive bar. Fishtown’s El Bar has multiple drinks under $5, and it’s the kind of low-lit place where everyone just keeps to themselves—even if one of you blurts out, “I tattooed your name on my lower back!” Grab a few shots of bottom-shelf tequila, tell them you’ll always be friends (not true), and start looking for a new person to split the rent and make out with." - candis mclean
