We had a great time here. A quaint little dive bar with affordable drinks and specials during the week. Tvs played movies and flashed clips from all the sporting events going on that day around the US. Also lots of funky decor inside annnd classic rock on the radio. We had a sweet server who did a good job of checking in on us. We stopped by for a happy hour on a Tuesday, which lasts from 5-7:30 pm. The pub had taco Tuesday special, only $1 tacos! They weren't the best tacos you'll ever have but for $1 and with drinks, totally worth it. The fried pickles were good but I would've liked them to be a bit saltier and for thicker ranch. We also grabbed some of the half priced drafts which were a steal. read more

On a Saturday night around 8 they weren't super crowded. We came and sat at the tables in the back of the first floor. We ordered some food and it was all great. I had the chicken tenders and fries and my friend ordered the nachos and they were HUGE. The service was a bit unfriendly. we were ordering at the table I felt as though they were taking too long and not keeping a good eye on us. I also will comment they added gratuity on my check but didn't let me know which I wasn't a huge fan of. All in all the food and drinks are good and the bar tenders were really nice. read more

Some girlfriends and I enjoyed Drinkers Pub on the last Center City Sips night of the season and overall we had a good time and enjoyed the food. The service was very good. No complaints from the young lady that serviced our table. She worked very hard that evening. I enjoyed the $1 chicken tacos and for $1 they were not full but satisfying. I also ordered the $1 hot dog and a hot dog is a hot dog. No complaints there. I tried the cheesesteak egg roll which was good. It had a different taste than what I've had before but I enjoyed it. My IPA beer was cold but nothing to brag about (I don't even remember the name of it). The Birthday Cake shots were cute and yummy. The Long Island iced tea was just okay. The place is on the dark side and the bathrooms upstairs in the back hallway are very small but clean (at least when I went into one). read more

This is a good dive bar for a stop on a fun night out. They have a decent on tap selection, I enjoyed the something sour. They could easily make the drinks we asked for (sometimes it's hit or miss in the city at dive bars) We didn't have any food so I can't speak to that, but the staff at the bar was keeping up with a busy crowd and remaining friendly. The DJ on the first floor was playing really current upbeat sounds, great to sing/dance to. We'd stop by again! read more

I loved this place. :) Down to earth, come as you are spot. They had about 6 beers on draft...plenty of pretty girls...good dance music and a pretty big dance floor. The bartenders were nice and they did a great job. The blonde bartender was cute. :) read more

Love this spot. Amazing service, the tuna melt I had there was very tasty, and they've got a lot of tvs so you can watch a myriad of games. They have jello shots, a good beer selection, and a fun vibe. Philly lacks in sports bars, but this one is a great option to visit. read more

Such a fun stop to hang out with friends! The vibes are there whether you're on the top or bottom floor, and the dj is amazing at pumping out bangers left and right. read more

3.5 stars. Drinker's Pub is still around and kicking, and it's scary that I was first here more than 10 years ago. This is not a fancy pants lounge, but a dependable, classic watering hole - lots of energy, good crowd, and live music! It's two floors, so there's room for a crowd. Drinker's is very close to Rittenhouse Square in case you want to get some air after your drinks. Inexpensive drinks. They've got wings. Friendly staff. read more

I liked the vibe at this place. Good drink selection and friendly staff. First time I visited Philadelphia from L.A. would definitely go again whenever I'm back in town read more

dive bar vibes, $1 hot dogs, kind of dingy, christmas lights everywhere, similar ambiance to Bar 11 in pittsburgh but not chaotic. server was so slow getting the check, so that irked me a bit. it was overall fine. note: i went on a tuesday, but i heard it's great on weekends read more

Amazing food. Great service, and perfect fun dive bar vibes. 10/10 we go every night we're in Philly, the shots are awesome and good cheap beers. read more

Staff was really rude unfortunately. Snide remarks from servers and a 20% gratuity added to a single beer. Would avoid, there are lots of bars in the area worth a try read more

Oh wow. I can't say enough good things about this place. Came in around 4 on a Friday. There was a group of kind of loud guys derping around but otherwise the vibe was very chill. Relaxing. The bartenders are super cool and friendly. The place is divey without feeling dirty. Very old-school Philly, kinda hole-in-the-wall. And the drinks! Delicious. Watch them handcraft your beverage and actually know what they're doing. The house margarita was the best one I've ever tasted. Be careful, you could end up hanging out here for hours! read more

Drinker's Pub - Wall of forgotten credit cards. - Pubs Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Favorite bar in the city by far. Vibes are immaculate, food is cheap and the drinks are so good. Not a fancy place but it's a comfy bar and I've loved it for years. read more

Had an excellent time at Drinker's Pub. The drinks and bar food were reasonably priced. The bar is a bit on the dark side but they had TV's all over the places so you were able to watch the game from any angle. All the time we were there (Saturday night) they played great music-80's, 90's and recent music. The crowd was great the staff was excellent-quick to take care of you and quick to bring you your food. We absolutely enjoyed our time there. The music was loud but the atmosphere was great. Brought back great memories with the music. Sometimes you don't need all of the extras, just good quick cheap drinks with just a bit of bar food to spend some time. Loved it. read more

Stopped in late from a flight into Philly on a Sunday. Great bartenders, unbelievably inexpensive Sunday specials for food. Delicious chicken tacos $1.50 each, $.75 wings. Wow. I've never had such good food for so little in Philly. read more

The bartender flagged me after I won a debate with him about rules & ordering & how he brought me beef tacos when I'd ordered bean (I'm vegetarian). Some people should not have jobs dealing with other people. Plus, the place is pretty rough looking read more

I used to have a great relationship. But I said something they thought was so bad to my female friend. That steve felt it was necessary to ban me. I'm sorry for him being so pussy whipped into thinking all women are angels. But pretty soon I'll be making so much money that I will buy out the bar. But it will never be here. They need to get shut down. They serve me even when I'm blackout drunk. It's so bizarre that they serve me so much alcohol and then are surprised and indignant if I say something off the cuff that is not even that bad. There are a lot of toxic women out there so when you find a good woman you're so grateful. They should be ashamed for serving a recovering alcoholic so much alcohol. read more

100000% the most fun I've had at a bar in years. The drinks were great, our server was attentive and sweet, and the DJ was out of this world. We went on a Friday night as the place was turning from a chill sports bar vibe, to more of a dance bar. It did get pretty busy once everyone was dancing. Wasn't a problem for us, but a good detail to know if you're planning to stop by. read more

Ahhh the memories.....seems like it has been 15 years since I first came here and had a 40oz in the bar...... you can still get an entire 40oz from the bartender for $4.50 during happy hour by the way. Many other yelpers have commented this is a stop in pub for a drink or two, I agree and also agree this place gets packed very quickly. Came here after a comedy show at helium and went to the second floor to relax and take in the sight of the city. It was peaceful and relaxing until about thirty minutes later when this place was packed! Mostly 20's to early 30's crowd later in the evening. I highly recommend this spot if you fit in that age range and if not come in for happy hour maybe your make some new friends or get plastered and hit on who you want who am I to tell you how to drink at drinker's! The food menu is very cheaply priced with great deals. The last time I got food here I thought it was average bar food but haven't eaten any of there food items this decade so take the food review with a grain of salt. Anyway you cut it you should definitely visit this spot at least once in your lifetime and as always people SYOY!! read more

A mid level night out spot. Drinker's is definitely an: I don't want to go to a club, but I don't want to go to a chill bar. The weekend DJ brings in the crowd and the drinks aren't very expensive so you stick around for a bit. Warning, it gets packed. Overall it's a load of fun. read more

Drank here once over seven months ago, and in the last 48 hours someone tried to use my credit card info for this place twice. And only this place. Had to have my card cut off and get a new one. I never lost my card there or even at all- I still have it in my possession. Clearly some sketchy stuff happening here. Of course they dont pick up the phone either. Definitely do not use your card here because it isn't safe. read more

It was a perfect atmosphere to watch Phillies play plus $1.00 hotdogs (which were pretty good)

The cocktails taste good! The service is fast and friendly. The atmosphere is lit around 11pm. People dancing happily and enjoying time ! read more

Service is amazing here. The bartenders are kind and witty, and also pour a great drink. I've been here a ton and not once have I had a bad experience. They cater to a variety of music tastes, and this is my go-to place to watch a Phillies game. It's loud, fun, and energetic but caters to every crowd! I bring my family from out of state and they insist on coming back every time. Don't forget the $1 hotdogs during Phillies games! read more

Best place to throw a party! Great customer service and management! I highly recommend read more

Owned by a legend, ruled by absolute fools and degenerates. Go: if you want to support one of the best bar owners in the city and are willing to get knocked out at the bar by a drunk hipster bro. Stay: If you want to watch the bartenders out drink the patrons while the patrons shove toxic masculinity around and start fights with 0 security. The staff is miraculously always friends with one of said idiots who is starting a fight. If I ever want to get punched in the face, I'll go back. read more

You've gotta like a place that has a deer head mounted on the wall, Christmas lights, and has Fat Tire on tap. Music playing reminded me of a time I lived in upstate NY around 2005, indie/ punk rock stuff. We just stopped in for one beer on a Saturday afternoon and I sorta regret not even taking a look at the menu. The bartender was really pleasant and chatty. The locals, or what I assume were locals, loved her to pieces. read more

Great food, service and friendly staff. You can feel at home here!! I'd recommend going in the afternoon for some great food and a chat!

First time going out for a drink in Philly since COVID and had an excellent experience here. There is a nice booth out on Chestnut street where you can order your drinks from. Then they have ample seating on the sidewalk and on the side of the street along 19th street. They also have TVs and sound hooked up for outside if you're main goal is to watch sports there which is great. Alcohol selection isn't huge at the moment but its fine. Prices are very reasonable. Then we had the taco nachos and honestly, they were fantastic. We were just looking for something random to snack on but they were delicious! A huge helping and covered with cheese and lots of delicious toppings. Walked inside to go to the bathroom. No way to get close to the bar for the workers safety. Very minimal seating inside which felt safe. Overall seems like a bar that has got the COVID thing figured out, and also had surprisingly delicious food! read more

I mean - Drinker's is drinker's. You want a rowdy place to go that is blaring music filled with Wharton bros and Penn undergraduates? This is it. It doesn't hide that fact and some nights thats exactly what you need. If this is one of those nights - you can't go wrong with this option. Don't expect to wind down after coming here, your next stop better be Woody's or Voyeur. They do have a robust draft menu, but don't expect excellence in cocktails. This is pretty much an establishment of Philadelphia as much as McGillian's is as well. read more

We've been here a couple times before but recently came back with friends. We wanted to go somewhere nicer but they wanted to go somewhere that had music and cheap drinks. Last time they had more of a selection of beers and a list to pick from. I remember having a couple of decent fruity beers. I asked the bartender if he had a drink menu but said there wasn't one. I felt rushed and didn't want a regular beer, so I just told him to make me a fruity mixed drink. He made the standard bay breeze drink which I was kind of disappointed in. I feel like this is the standard lazy drink that every bartender makes when you ask for a fruity drink because they don't want to make any effort making something else. I wanted something a little stronger, but I guess that's my fault for not ordering anything specific. I didn't notice they had cans of cider beer until my friend got one. I would have ordered that instead if I had known. It feels like a college bar scene with the loud music, sticky floors, and people bumping into you. I'm kinda over that but if you're into hitting on younger girls then I guess this is the place for you. read more

I've been coming here for about 7 years now, ever since I moved in Philly. This is a common undergrad hangout place and extends to grad school and actual adulthood too, lol. Its a classic dive bar that's got patrons coming in all day long. The food's decent, drinks are well-priced, and its got a bar downstairs and a club-kinda scene upstairs! Always make a stop here for Erin Express! Atmosphere: 100% casual. I mean you can always dress up or come after a night out for some quick food/drinks, but its as casual as bars go. All kinds of people come here from college students to people working in finance in center city. Its often very loud. The music is actually super loud and when combined with the conversations people have, it can be nearly impossible to hear your own party talking. Ive never had a day where I can talk at normal room volume. Plenty of tables and seating options. Food: I always get the drinkers tacos. Their taco sauce at the tables is to die for, literally makes the meal. Tacos are $1 on Tuesdays and delicious. I get bean tacos with come with beans lettuce tomatoes and sour cream. My friends usually get the chicken tacos which they enjoy. They come in hard and soft varieties. Ive had the french fries as well, they're sub-par at best. Go to Five Guys and get better ones down the street haha. Drinks: Usually, I get a rum and coke, but they have everything. In undergrad i'd frequent the LITs or trashcans which are well-priced at happy hour (just like $10 for drinks that have 3-4 shots in them), but these days its vodka soda or rum n coke. They have low-end spirits and high-end spirits. Service: Usually its not too bad when empty, but sometimes the service can be terrible during happy hour time because there is often only 1 or 2 waitresses/waiters working the entire bar. Last time, I had to get my own check, give my own card, and give back the receipt bc they were so busy, but its fine! Still worth it! Would 100% come back. Pro tip #1 - check their site for all the weekly specials Pro tip #2 - HH drinks are half off!!!! read more

Drinker's Pub - bean hard tacos! $1 on Tuesdays - Pubs Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Picklebacks! What are they? A shot of whiskey chased by a shot of pickle brine. Yea, you heard me - pickle brine. Surprisingly refreshing, and no one does them better than Drinker's. Besides the backs, Drinker's has tons of great specials and cheap drinks. With two floors to socialize and enjoy those drinks, I can recommend at least making a stop while in town. Grab a drink and enjoy the music... read more

So the best thing about Drinker's is their $1.50 TACOS!! The tacos are nothing special really, I mean you can probably make them at home...but the hot sauce they have at every table to put on your tacos is SO GOOD. I've had their nachos as well but nothing beats the tacos. Their drink prices are nothing special on weekends, but at least they have whatever it is that you're craving in stock (For me, it was Angry Orchard & apparently not every bar has that) read more

See my photo. Watch your receipts. The waitress Erin tried to tell us it was because we ordered 7 minutes before happy hour started, but the receipt does not reflect this at all. Taking advantage of inebriated customers is all this is. read more

Drinker's Pub - Watch your receipts at this place. The math doesn't add up. - Pubs Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Bartender is rude and will scream at you for no reason at all. Everyone worker there is very mean and will make you feel uncomfortable. Avoid this place at all costs if you want to have a good time. read more

Get your drinks in, get your drinks in, get your drinks in... You get the idea. Its not exactly a dive bar but yet its not the typical high-brow Rittenhouse Square bar/resto. It's cheap...well cheap enough for drinks as well as tacos. The barkeep was a tatted-up giant of a man. The music was alt-rock-ish. There are a couple of tv's that can distract you from holding convos with strangers, so that's a negative. I'll be back. Probably for a bar crawl. read more
