This is the first true dive bar I've discovered on the Main Line. It has a refreshingly unapologetic grungy vibe. The food is solid and unpretentious, and the drinks are reasonably priced. There’s an old phone booth (though I think it’s out of service) and what I believe is a malfunctioning cigarette machine. They have a dartboard and some casual TVs dedicated to Philadelphia sports. The staff is friendly and engaging, and the crowd is diverse and generally welcoming. There's also a jukebox. It opens early and stays open late. I could keep going, but you really need to visit to experience it for yourself!
This place is awesome. It's been around for nearly a century and not much has changed. It has an authentic vibe that you won't find anywhere else on the main line. The bar literally has a phone booth in it. It's totally unique and is a staple in the area. The bathrooms are a little funky, but it's all part of the experience. The beers are cheap and the hot dogs are delicious. This is a great place to stop after work for a bite. It is a smoking bar, so thats something to consider, but I didn't find the smoke to be too overwhelming around happy hour. Lots of character! Check it out
I love this place. It's a local bar with a decent bar menu with good prices. The bartenders take care of you, the other folks at the bar (at least during after work hours, the only time I've been) are friendly. It is decidedly not fancy, and if you are looking for ultra premium drinks probably not the place for you. If you want a spot to stop after work for a few drinks and fun bar talk, you can't pick a better spot. I only get to visit 3 or 4 times a year when I visit relatives in the area. It is always part of the trip I look forward to.
Was really excited to try this place tonight because they are known for their burgers. I ordered a couple burgers to go; I will say the bartender was extremely friendly. Got the burger, the first one was delicious... right before I'm about to start on the second one I find a long scraggly hair right in the middle of it; I'm sorry but that's just GROSS ! Unfortunately that ruined my experience (and their cook should be wearing a hair net). I wouldn't go back !

This is THE ultimate dive bar on the mainline, you can smoke inside, play darts, use the juke box and play your favorites tunes and enjoy cheap dollar beers. The food is bar food which despite cheap as well is very filling and tasty. Besides the cheap drinks there are also quality beers and booze at very affordable prices. Occasionally celebrities like Charles Barkley show up there. So it is a dive but with mostly non dicey people, excellent hangout place
Best damn bar on the main line. Old school...no martini bar or sushi but the best burger you can find. Other menu options will surprise you as well. Their pour is generous and bartenders will remember your name.
Classic old school bar that serves up great cocktails, conversation and food at very reasonable prices. Family owned, multi-generation with a great history. If you are nearby you definitely have to stop in.
This charming little dive bar is conveniently located right on the main line. Don't expect anything upscale, but the food is tasty and the drinks are served cold.

Legendary dark traditional corner bar. Great people run the business. Still allow smoking, so just know that you could ruin your cloths! One of a kind.
This remains the top corner bar and burger spot on the mainline. It's an irreplaceable institution in a landscape filled with trendy new options.
