New Olympia House Restaurant and Bar

"There are only a few places where you can get a drink at 6:30am: your kitchen, PHL, or on a stool at New Olympia House in Oxford Circle. That’s the prime time to complain about your love life to a margarita-making server before the diner's 7am rush. The scene here is chaotically charming—beer-fueled commentary on the local news playing on TVs, kids using spoons as drumsticks, and regulars saying “get the f*ck outta here,” while rejecting a menu they’ve already memorized. Bring a group of friends and pass around thick crab cake sandwiches and crispy golden fries. Or come back in the morning and update your waitress on last night’s date over two shots of whiskey. Here, that makes complete sense." - candis mclean
