Drinks & Nightlife

This is a great place for a casual meal or out for a drink. Food is upscale bar food and atmosphere is divebar—esque. Plus a music venue upstairs if you want to catch a show!

Wine bar down the street with a super cute outdoor seating area featuring a bocce ball court. Feels like a secluded backyard. Martha Bar has food if you want some snacks or hoagies with your drinks.

Usually a dj there on the weekends. A small tiki bar right on frankford ave. Excellent tropical cocktails plus cheap beers if you just want to go for the atmosphere and not the pricey cocktails (but have at least one cocktail!).

The best food in fishtown, contemporary Italian dishes and seafood. A higher end restaurant, need a reservation on the weekends or try and grab a seat at the bar for a more casual approach. Great for dates or a group of friends.

A fantastic BYO in the city. Amazing pasta dishes, octopus is ace and everything I've ever had (breakfast & dinner) has always been really good! Not too expensive.This place has recently just opened so it's still a little bit of a hidden gem. Bring a bottle or two and book a table on their website on the weekends.
