Hipster Hangouts and Dive Bars
Where the locals kick back with microbrews and music
 
Looking to experience Philadelphia like a local? Try sipping a few local microbrews (on draft or in a bottle) in some of the city's most authentic bars and you'll soon know what Philly is all about.

Relax over beers and great burgers (not to mention everything else on the menu) at Royal Tavern — a South Philly landmark among the gastro-pub sort — while listening to one of the city's many highly celebrated jukeboxes.

Or head over to the always artistic neighborhood of Northern Liberties (or NoLibs), where Standard Tap, North Third and (a little further north) Johnny Brenda's will help you find a laid back crowd where good food and great beer share the spotlight.
