When you’re a non-douchebag sportsfan, it can be challenging to get your Black Taco on at a bar without being surrounded by a roomful of choads. So we’ve compiled a list of great establishments that have deals on food and beers you can enjoy without the typical sportsbar atmosphere:
- The Abbaye offers a $3 Rowhouse Reds special.
- The best deals are at The Institute, with all drafts for $3, bottles of Miller Lite for $2, and shots of Jim Beam for $2.50. As for food, their Pork Fries, Boneless Wings, Regular Wings are priced at $5 an order and $2 off any sandwich. (Game 5 won’t have this offer available because it falls on Insti-Tuesdays, check out their site for details.)
- The Belgian Cafe continues their special they had during the playoffs of $3 pints of Pils. You can also pre-game it there with their Bosteels Event at 7pm. The cafe is hosting Lanny Hoff of Artisanal Imports with Triple Karmeliet and Kwak on draft and DeuS by bottle and a menu pairing.
- Also continuing their playoffs offer, The Devil’s Den special is $1 off Yards, PBC (most likely Kenzinger), and Spatzen brews.
- For Thursday’s game, Swift Half is holding a Philly vs. New York brewery showdown including Flying Fish, Yards, SlyFox and more.
- PYT has a $25 special that is 8oz venison patty topped with foie gras served with sweet potato chips and a sparkler. What?
It should be noted that all of these specials are valid during the actual games. Got other recommends for non-douchebars World Series-ing? Leave ‘em in the comments!
Upstairs at Jose Pistola’s. Great beer selection, 2 screens.
How is PYT burger and a $25 burger non-douchebag?
North Star bar $2 Yards ESA drafts, 25 cent wings or nearby, Kelliann’s offers $10 beer buckets (5 beers)
The biggest choad seems to be the douchebag who wrote this article. Go forbid you associate with the 5 million people outside of your little inbred social circle.
PYT is pretty damn douchey.
I find the assertion that there are not douchebags at PYT pretty hilarious.
just enjoy the fucking game. enough w/ this foodie shit. the foodies are seriously the worst. they can’t cook for themselves but complain when they go out. this city is not yr winter wonderland. if you like food go to the farmers market…
Skinners has been great luck with a great crowd to boot
SPTR’s a good place to catch a game. Caught both parts of last year’s final at Cantina by Passyunk.
Also add me to those amused that PYT is somehow considered “non-douche.” If you look at the EEG readout, you’ll see Kade and Up are actually on resoundingly similar psychic wavelengths.
National Mechanics has happy hour specials thoughout the series during the games, $1 off most pints (except lagers), $3 off most pitchers and $6 National Burgers and Veggie Burgers!
