"Philly has some great breweries, so it would be a mistake to skip town without stopping by its biggest one. Yards Brewing Company is full of cafeteria-style tables, all of which have great views of the TV screens. But with things like savory beef chili and pale ale half chicken on the menu, and a beer list as long as the body count at the end of The Red Wedding, you could end up passing more time at this laid back spot than anywhere else in the city. Stop by their outdoor beer garden before catching a show at Union Transfer or to sip away the shock that Franklin Music Hall nearby isn’t a historical site that houses Ben Franklin’s violins and flutes." - Candis Mclean, Alison Kessler
