The “It” Bars Across America Right Now - The Infatuation

"Nachos are cool. Liking something kind of niche is cool. Therefore, Doom Bar, a slightly freaky bar with amazing chip-and-cheese heaps and a location near the city's smaller music venues, fits the category. There’s church-adjacent stained glass, a chandelier made from real animal bones, and a cooler seemingly always bursting with moderately priced Bud Heavy. In case you couldn’t guess from the name and, well, every other detail provided so far, this is a metal bar. But it’s also one with a playlist that’s neither alienating nor annoying to people who don’t really dig metal. And it could only exist in the dirtbag paradise that is Philadelphia." - allie conti
