Wood-paneled dive bar with memorabilia, sports on TV
"After a blowout at the stadiums, you usually end up in one of two obstacle courses: the traffic on I-95 or the human jungle gym that is the Broad Street Line post-game. Instead, drive the five minutes to McCusker's Tavern. The nostalgic, wood-paneled, cash-only dive bar has plenty of TVs, seats from the old Veterans Stadium, and so much throwback memorabilia you’ll think your car is actually a time machine. It’s the exact place you should spend a couple of hours drinking $4 beers and eating greasy onion rings while avoiding those hundreds of strangers you high-fived an hour ago." - candis mclean
"On some nights, this South Philly dive bar is so dim that you’ll feel like your one light bulb away from total darkness. And that’s exactly what you’ll need, since you’ve been crying nonstop. The cash-only, wood-paneled space has throwback memorabilia like old Pearl Jam posters and rehydrate with Artic Splash in the fridge (we’d suggest tequila instead). They have standard, affordable bar food like $7 wings and $4 onion rings, and you can use your change to play your favorite rock ballad on the jukebox (or save it since you’re no longer splitting the rent)." - candis mclean
"McCusker’s has been a South Philly neighborhood bar of note for more than 50 years, with particular popularity among sports fans. The 1970s-chic decor features wood paneling, baseball memorabilia, and a dartboard." - Ernest Owens
