North Third

"At North Third in Northern Liberties, strangers spill the beans on their holiday plans and talk openly about how they shouldn't have another. But they always do. And that’s because the Citywides here—from a Kenzinger and bourbon to Kenwood and fernet—are all under $6. The wood-filled spot has karaoke nights, standup comedy, and if there’s a game being played, it’s usually on. A trip here can include everything from screaming, “Go Birds!” to singing along with Bon Jovi, but either way cheap Citywides will be involved.  " - candis mclean

"“I get all of the appetizers, every single appetizer. I just get the whole thing. We go there after a show at Fabrika. There's a big group of us and we just go, ‘give us all the appetizers. We'll just take all those.’ The wings are amazing, especially the thai chili wings. I usually like to get calamari with the thai chili sauce. But the mussels and the clams are also just bangers. I get the steak frites, too. They also have this really wonderful chicken sandwich. That's like a honey chicken sandwich. It's quite great.”" - candis mclean

"North Third in Northern Liberties is a guaranteed good time. Between a lady taking a celebratory shot because she found her lost credit card and karaoke night, you'll always leave with a story. They have a massive menu of handheld food like wings, buffalo chicken tacos, and burgers. But you'll also find groups of friends passing around large plates like steak frites and crispy pan fried crab cakes. The Thai chili wings are crispy and coated with a sweet sauce, and they have three types of citywides, all for under $6. They serve as a nice distraction from people upfront singing Paramore off-key. photo credit: CANDIS R. MCLEAN" - Candis R. McLean

"If you're looking for a chill bar with food as good as it's beer, The Abbaye is your spot. There's nothing better than sitting at the bar with a cold beer and a toasty grilled cheese on a cold fall day. The Abbaye is great for a relaxed date night or gather a bunch of friends and come play Quizzo on Thursday evenings." - The McQuades

"Consistency is key when it comes to late-night eating, and North Third’s got it down pat. Reasonable prices, friendly vibes, and the evidence that someone’s making a real effort in the kitchen maintain the beloved status of this long-running Northern Liberties gastropub. The wings? They’re as good as everyone says they are — crispy, saucy, sticky, and just right after a night out on the town. The bar is open until midnight Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays but the kitchen closes at 11 p.m." - Carolyn Desalu, Sarah Maiellano, Rachel Vigoda
