Aroundphilly.com’s Top Beer Joints


Black Door
Aroundphilly.com lists their top beer joints in Philadelphia. And instead of going with the obvious Belgian spots Eulogy and Monks, the list is made up of a “few off-the-beaten path finds for better beers and an all-around positive imbibing experience.”

  • Black Door – “a bar shines like a jewel in the crown of Queen Village.”
  • South Philadelphia Tap Room – “a more uptown-type corner bar has risen to offer some of the best beers around.”
  • McMenamin’s Tavern – “this bar beacons to all in this comfortably diverse quarter and serves as a meeting spot for suburbanites and locals alike.”
  • The Khyber – “Few rock bars offer as discerning a beer list as Old City’s long-time place to play it loud.”
  • Grey Lodge Pub – “Northeast folks continue to give thumbs up to this Bridesburg pick for up-market brews.”

Foobooz adds to the list after the jump.

  • Royal Tavern – An always rotating assortment of taps and excellent food make the Royal a Foobooz favorite.
  • Grace Tavern – A part of the Monk’s family, Grace has beer you just can’t find anywhere else, and here’s a secret, it’s often a buck or more cheaper than Monk’s!
  • Bridgid’s – Too often overlooked, this Art Museum staple keeps you coming back as much for the bargain food as for the great beer selection.
