Urban Saloon

"This Fairmount bar has about 300 things on the menu, including classic pub food like burgers and wings, as well as unexpected options, like a Korean BBQ steakhouse sandwich that goes well with beer. And since it's full of large communal tables, there's typically no wait to get inside. Expect to see friends watching the game in one corner, a post-Eastern State crowd debating Al Capone conspiracy theories in another, and families watching a projected movie on a third.

"During December, Fairmount’s Urban Saloon fills with trees, wreaths, string lights, and Sixers fans yelling at the TV between sips of spiked apple cider. There’s plenty of seating, so it works for a Happy Hour with half of your department or a last-minute group spot after everyone agrees on matching sweaters but not where to go. Expect a crowd of families ordering chicken tenders and people drinking winter sangria after purchasing a set of butter knives that are sure to be re-gifted." - Candis Mclean
