Big Charlie's Saloon

Great KC Chiefs tavern. Nice customers, if your a Chiefs fan, it is a must-have see!!

The best Kansas City Chiefs bar on the planet. Paul and the fellas treat you like family. Shout out to Linda for the amazing fresh baked pretzel too. CHIEFS KINGDOM

Game day! My wife and I make the two hour drive to Philadelphia to see the Chiefs take on the Colts. We arrive at 12:30 for a 1:00 pm game. The front room was packed. As we walk in we are greeted by nearly everyone. We don't know a soul, but they all say Hello. We head to the back room and find a high top table. As we walked back, a patron named Paul walks to the bar and moves a seat for my wife and carries it over. Friendliest bar on the planet This is not a large bar. However, the drinks are quickly poured. The pricing is great. They even serve hot food on game days. Make sure to get a sausage and peppers early before they run out. Most importantly, it is a comfortable sports oasis for KC Chiefs fans in South Philly. It reminds me what sports are all about, sharing a few drinks and a game with fellow fans.

It was packed on Chiefs game day so we didn't eat but it was awesome to see a Chiefs bar in Philly. Would definitely go back!

This place is actually what you hope your local bar would be. The bartender Laura, was insanely welcoming. All of the customers were very friendly. When they found out my sister-in-law was actually from KC, you would have thought we were royalty. The place had an insane amount of KC collectibles. I HIGHLY recommend checking this place out. It’s small, but you will be welcomed and the service is impeccable. I wish we lived in Philly as this would be my new spot. FYI, place only accepts cash, but prices are very reasonable

Big Charlie’s: A Bucket List Stop That Feels Like Home Some bars pour drinks. Big Charlie’s pours heart. From the moment we walked in, Laura set the tone—working harder and faster than anyone I’ve ever seen, yet never without a smile. She’s amazing. Mickey, Paul, and the rest of the crew made us feel right at home, like family we’d known for years. This was more than just a stop on a trip. My son-in-law Sam and I were on a bucket-list journey from Lubbock, Texas, and Big Charlie’s turned out to be one of the highlights. As the home of Patrick Mahomes and Texas Tech pride, the bar radiates energy and love for the game. But beyond that, it’s the warmth of the people that makes it unforgettable. My name is Charlie, and they treated me like a good brother 😉. Big Charlie’s is hands down the best bar and family atmosphere I’ve ever experienced. Put it on your bucket list—and go feel it for yourself

A fantastic bar decorated head to toe in chiefs gear. What really stands out are the people - the regulars and the staff. Every time I’ve been, they treat you like family (chiefs fan or not). Shout out to Poe’s Sandwich Joint for the amazing food!

Coolest hangout ever for chiefs fans! The owner personally welcomed us,the atmosphere was great and everyone was so welcoming.had a great time!

Big Charlie's Saloon made me feel right at home when I was in Philadelphia. Everybody in there was from south Philly but it was decked out in chiefs gear. It is like walking into somebody's basement. Plenty of swag to look at for a Chiefs fan. It has a very welcoming feel to the bar especially if you are from Kansas City or a chiefs fan. The staff is super friendly and has a great diver bar feel to the establishment. This is a must visit if you are visiting Philadelphia especially if you are a Chiefs fan.

My wife and I have been visiting for over 20 years. Thru the years, we've met some wonderful people including many from out of town who have heard of this neighborhood corner bar. As a resident of South Jersey, the core group of patrons are our family.

For Chiefs fans in the Philadelphia area, this is a must go to spot! It's not a large venue but it's full of dedicated Chiefs fans.

We were looking forward to meeting some friends here who are KC fans. When we walked into the bar, it looked very dark and dirty. They denied us entry after noticing we were fans of the opposing team. Literally, they kicked us out and locked the door behind us. They also denied entry to some Eagles fans behind us as well. Regardless, our friend said the food was sub par. Not a way to run a business... We ended up at Smith's where everyone was welcome and both teams displayed friendly sportsmanship. Charley's should take some lessons on how to run a business. Oh, and by the way the Patriots won 37-31... gfy.

What a treat! Happened to be in Philly SuperBowl weekend and sought out this bar. So glad I did! Super people, great little joint! Go Chiefs!

If your a CHIEFS fan n don't enjoy Big Charlie's your snobby! My wife n I have been going for to 2games a year. Paul, Gloria, Anthony are just GREAT PEOPLE! Sitting outside before and after the game n talking with other fans from All over the country is AMAZING!! To the people who are not CHIEFS fans, stop in when the CHIEFS are not playing!!! People are very friendly! I LOVE THIS BAR!!!

Big Charlies is a MUST for any Chiefs fan! Had the pleasure of visiting the bar multiple times when visiting family in Philly. Can't wait to go again

Yes, it is a dive bar But to be in town from Florida and find a bar full of people whom you have never met and share an afternoon of high fives and cheering for your team is GREAT. We came in our jersies and were welcomed with open arms. bar service was good we didn't eat here as we had just left brunch and were not hungry the whole place smelled.like BBQ which made it just like home in KC. This is a cash only establishment but no worries prices are suited for work in folks. Next time in Philly during football time this is what's up

Congrats! We tried to call, no # online.. Super bowl champs!!! We were celebrating up the street, wanted to send our best

Being new to the neighborhood, I stopped in this corner bar while on my own personal south philly dive bar crawl. This place is an awesome corner pub with truly hospitable bartenders and sociable regulars. The bartender working was nice enough to give me a tour of the back area of the bar, which is used most frequently during football games. The drinks are cheap and this place really has the "cheers" vibe. I can't wait to frequent it more often.

Sketchiest bar I've ever been to. Thrilled that I left without getting stabbed, was a very real concern the entire time I was there.

Massive Chiefs fan. Came here to watch them on a visit to Philly. Never written a review before. This bar was so bad I had to. Stay away!

I stayed down the street from this bar Charlie's saloon. Found this place because I had a few hours to kill before my fight. This bar is an amazing local bar with pride and history for the town and neighborhood. The owner is on site and a cool man from the neighborhood. The bartender lora is awesome and from the neighborhood as well who totally took care of me. So definitely see Lora as she's an amazing woman and bartender but you better take care of her. I had an amazing time with them and the local costumers coming and going who were all treated like family. It's a great bar that's been in the Pauls family for decades. It was a great experience I highly recommend checking this place out especially for football. Paul is a great guy and takes care of his costumers, employees and has pride in his bar. The hospitality and brotherly love is amazing here.

Well being a Chiefs fan, how could I not give this a 5 star rating. It is everything you could want as a fan in a city full of passionate chanters and spellers for their mighty Eagles. It is a great escape. The beer was cold, the sausage sandwich was delicious and all affordable.

Been going to Big Charlie's for years to watch the Chiefs games. Owner passed away and the son has completely let the bar go. He's only interested in getting drunk during games and causing problems with customers. Chiefs fans stay away!

If you want to experience true south Philadelphia Italian, loud, neighborhood friendly, traditional, drama filled fun, sports bar, this is where you want to be.

Great place!! Wasn't sure what to expect. It is a neighborhood bar with a kansas city chief theme in south Philly. The bartender was amazing. He couldn't have been nicer. Let us in the back room to see the memorabilia. Even let my husband hold the Emmy that the bar won. Patrons were super nice too. Great beer and company! Definetely will return.

Great place to watch a Chiefs game!! Was expecting KC transplants but these are all born and raised south Philly residents who LOVE the Chiefs!! Everyone is welcoming and friendly. The owner and his buddy introduced themselves within minutes of our arrival and even bought us find welcome beers. But much by way of good but atmosphere , friendliness, and neighborhood bar prices make this a must stop for Chiefs fans in football season!!!

Chiefs fan in Philly. Of course, we are going to Big Charlies. Everyone was soooooo friendly. Enjoyed our beers and the friendly barkeep.

Being a birds fan this is the perfect change of pace joint to go! Super friendly people and the sausage sandwich is great! One of the best dive bars in Philly! I need to sample more of the menu here

Arrowhead East o're the land of the free and the home of the CHIEFS

A small group of us were in Philly for a convention, and we had it on our bucket list to go to Big Charlie's Saloon. We packed our Chiefs apparel, and from the minute we walked in the door, we were treated like family! It was one of the best evenings we have ever had. Paul and all of the rest of the Big Charlie's employees and friends made us feel right at home! We promise equally good care if we can talk Paul and friends into coming back to KC! We will be back! If you want friendly, fun sports fans - who happen to be huge Chiefs fans...in the heart of a neighborhood - don't miss Big Charlie's!!! Thanks for the warm welcome Paul and friends!
