Jerry's Bar

"For a long time, Jerry’s was a Bob and Barbara’s-esque dive bar with dollar beers and regulars who were almost exclusively men over the age of 50. Today, they serve some of the more dependable food in the area. It’s got a gastropub feel that’s nice enough to bring your parents to when they’re in town, but not so nice that you can’t imagine your grandfather ripping shots with his buddies 20 or so years ago. It has a huge selection of local craft beers, plus a brunch menu stacked with things like brioche french toast and a brisket omelette. And if you come during dinner hours, you shouldn’t leave without ordering the Jerry burger." - candis mclean, alison kessler

"This corner bar and gastropub in Northern Liberties serves up a menu full of New American fare, with a brunch cocktail menu featuring various takes on bloody marys, mimosas, and martinis. Here, you can try the bloody dragon, which combines its exclusive bloody mary mix with jalapeno-infused gin and cucumber, or the breakfast martini, made with gin, orange juice, strawberry jam, lemon, and triple sec." - George Banks-Weston

"This cozy neighborhood bar is more than just a place to grab a pint, but their dining menu is also notable as well. With menu items such as duck spring-rolls, a hummus trio, a Bussels sprouts salad, grilled pork chop, and halibut — there’s more than what meets the eye at this dining hotspot." - Ernest Owens

"When: Tuesday-Friday, 4-7pm The Deal: $5 Beers, Wines, And Cocktails Jerry’s Bar has some great Happy Hour deals—like every other place on this list. But they don’t just stop with regular discounts. This Northern Liberties bar has daily deals—like $20 pitchers—on top of their $5 drink discounts. Grab an order of wings, mahi mahi tacos, or anything else on the food menu during a casual catch up with friends that will likely turn into a late night. " - Candis Mclean

"For a long time, Jerry’s was just a dive bar - the kind with dollar beers and regulars who were almost exclusively men over the age of 50. But then it was taken over by a chef, and now it’s a little different. It’s still divey, but it also serves some of the better food in Northern Liberties - especially for brunch, when the menu has things like brioche french toast and a brisket omelette. And if you come during dinner hours, you shouldn’t leave without ordering the Jerry burger." - sydney mcelwee
