"Bad Brother is Fairmount’s ideal neighborhood spot if you want to watch a game but don’t want a gameday crowd. The front area has a dimly lit bar, a small TV, and the vibe of your uncle’s den, while the back dining room is perfect for bringing a few friends to grab a burger or a sausage roll (which is basically a sausage cheesesteak). Because of the small space, you’ll need a reservation when the Eastern State Penitentiary crowd comes through, or when the Sixers are on a winning streak. But the soy-glazed wings are worth the extra step—they're some of the city’s best—not to mention the weirdly flirty image of a purple Garfield on their wall. " - candis mclean
