Locust Bar

I was a smidge disappointed. When I had gone last year it was a classic dive bar, not many people but regulars were there. When I came back this year, everyone was here! It's a diamond in the rough. Staff is awesome and it will always be one of my go to spots in Philly!

Love this dive bar. It is a smoking bar so be prepared for your hair/clothes to smell like smoke. I just love it here, just a good low key vibe to hang with some friends.

Nothing but rude and uncalled for behavior by some old blonde bartender. She must be the owner because I would NEVER have her as my employee. Stopped in on Cinco de Mayo. We were happy to see they had taco specials. Well, if your establishment is having specials that day, perhaps you should put on extra help. Took over fifteen minutes just to get a can of beer. When the food came out, orders were wrong. She said, "I got nine thousand taco orders here. I'm not asking you what you ordered. I'm telling you what I have." Then when a friend asked what they had on tap he was told by her, "The same thing we've had for the past four years." I hope you treat your locals well, cause with employees like that, you will never get any new business. We wanted to give her a piece of our minds, but remained quiet and for whatever reason, even tipped. We were nothing but polite and patient. There are plenty other of places in the city to eat. We love "dive" bars and don't mind getting our balls busted, but that's when they know us and we know them. Again. This woman must be the manager or owner....or doing the owner, because her behavior has no place in the service industry.

Wings are really good. Standard beer options. Clean bathrooms. One of the few bars that still allows smoking inside in Philly, so if you are a smoker, you will enjoy that.
