The 10 Best Bars & Clubs in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (PA)

May 9, 2022 Diedre Savory

One of the most historic cities in America, Philadelphia is an ideal place to spend a weekend - preferably a long one. Be sure to see the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall, where the Constitution and Declaration of Independence were signed. Both are part of Independence National Historic Park. Philadelphia also boasts some outstanding art museums, including the Rodin Museum. The Franklin Institute Science Museum is one of many area attractions honoring the life and work of Benjamin Franklin, the city's most famous ambassador. After digesting all of that history, be sure you save room for a classic Philly cheese steak sandwich.

Monk's Cafe

Reviewed By dougalm154 - Horsham District, United Kingdom

I was taken here by a co-worker who lives and has worked bars in Philly with the boast that it has one of best selections of beers in town. And it is probably true. You can spend hours trying to decide what to have - especially if you like Belgian type beers. The food is simply and good - nothing fancy or that will leave you blown away, but what they have matches with the beer, decor and atmosphere is very bar like. Will be back and will take others there.

ASHTON CIGAR BAR

Modern, upscale cigar lounge and cocktail bar with an extensive menu of whiskey, cocktails, spirits, and cigars. Located above Holt’s Cigar Shop in downtown Philadelphia. We are temporarily closed by government mandate due to COVID-19. You can still purchase cigars from the Holt's Cigar Shop online and in store.

Reviewed By Onhill

This place is located on the second floor and they have a staircase that you encounter as soon as you walk in off of the street. As you walk up you enter this long and narrow bar with very attentive service, a huge walk in humidor and a very upscale and fun feel to it. They had a nice wine, beer and liquor selection with many choices for special scotch and bourbons. If you like good cigars and booze, this is the place for you!

They do karaoke once a week and it is awesome! We had a blast at this bar we just ducked into on account of hearing the karaoke. Bartender is nice and the atmosphere is lively! Definitely check it out when in Philly!
