"A Washington Square West staple since 1933, Dirty Frank’s and its partially kitschy decor (and sticky floors) attract everyone from punks to artsy types to after-work Center City crowds. Cash only." - Ernest Owens
"Dirty Franks in Washington Square West has seen us through many dark days—breakups and that time our friends convinced us to watch Madame Web. And it’s always been with a Citywide in front of us. It’s a lowkey corner watering hole where you’ll see people having solo drinks, and friends fired up about Xfinity sucking, who probably don’t need another Citywide (but order one anyway). The bar is cash only, and has no ATM inside, so come prepared for an evening at a proper dive and to overhear conversations about shit*y WI-FI. " - candis mclean
"There’s a clear structure to Long Islands at most places that does not apply at Dirty Franks. At other places, all of the liquor and intrusive thoughts lie at the bottom while the citrusy layers roam at the top. But they’re mixed well at this Washington Square West bar, so any pickup line you blurt out has nothing to do with the drink. " - candis mclean
"Philly would be nothing without its dive bars and Dirty Frank’s is a prime example, chugging along at 13th and Pine since 1933. Originally just called Frank’s, and at one point misguidedly renamed 347 Bar, Dirty Frank’s was a nickname that came along with the bar’s second owner and stubbornly stuck. Thanks to cheap beer and Citywide specials (a shot and a beer), it’s a popular hangout for a wide variety of characters." - Eater Staff
