A visit to McMenamin’s Tavern on Germantown Avenue would be worth it for the fish and chips alone — they’re almost transcendentally good for pub food — but the beer specials and spacious inside and outdoor seating make it a great place for long hangs and groups.

If your dive bar doesn’t have a jukebox and a pool table, is it even a dive bar? At Delmar Bar & Lounge in Germantown, both are present and accounted for, which means the atmosphere is lively and the music is good.

Atlantis the Lost Bar has a cool name and, for some bars, that would be enough. But this cash-only Kensington corner joint also has a pool table, rotating drinks specials, bloody marys with elaborate garnishes on Sundays, and chill bartenders.

Everybody knows Oscar’s. The always-busy Center City dive attracts all sorts, with the added bonus of booths, beer specials, and filling fried food.

A Washington Square West staple since 1933, Dirty Frank's and its partially kitschy decor (and sticky floors) attract everyone from punks to artsy types to after-work Center City crowds.

If you prefer a glass of bordeaux blanc but a dive bar atmosphere, the closest thing is this South Street bar and bottle shop serving wine, cocktails, and beer in a funky space inspired by the ’70s. There’s even a citywide section of the menu with combos like Miller High Life with Fernet and Corona Light with mezcal.

Easily the most aesthetically wild spot on this map, Tattooed Mom's eye-catching walls are almost wholly covered in graffiti-style art. The decor and soundtrack means Mom’s does verge on falling out of the dive bar category, but its happy hour drinks save it. Also look for nightly food specials and lots of vegan menu options.

12 Steps Down has the benefit of a windowless subterranean location to enhance the dive-y feel. The food — chicken fingers, cheeseburgers, and the like — is surprisingly good,

McCusker's has been a South Philly neighborhood bar of note for more than 50 years, with particular popularity among sports fans. The 1970s-chic decor features wood paneling, baseball memorabilia, and a dartboard.
