Small neighborhood spot. Not quite a dive but not super nice (pretty dark inside even on a bright sunny day) in a way that can be nice! Delicious tuna steak sandwich and fries. People also like their salads. Good beer list. Lots of locals come here. Run by management we like that always donates to our charity event. Good neighborhood institution.

A Philly favorite in the Gayborhood! Salty bartenders who actually have hearts of Gold (they will never let you know that though, that's not their thing). Can bring well behaved dogs there! Always a crazy unpredictable mix of people from Philly. You'll see... Also a locals spot! Lots of regulars here. Little tip-- be ready to order when the bartenders come by... :)
