Bob and Barbara's Lounge

A truly special and magical place that still exists. I hope it lasts forever. One of the beacons that keeps Philly unique. Looks like more tavern from the outside. Has these awesome musical notes bike locks. Live music. Incredible beer and shot specials. Crazy cool interior. Awesome bartenders and patrons. Protect this place at all costs.

i love this place! this is my neighborhood spot--truly has some of the best bartenders in the city and a diverse clientele. i've had many, many interesting conversations here with both staff and patrons and have also met many new friends. and they serve their citywide ($5) (which they invented btw) with a PBR ($3 a can), which is the superior choice. i'm a single woman and usually go to this bar alone. whenever i've had problems with men here (happens from time to time, not the bar's fault), the bartenders have ALWAYS had my back (shout out to my girl, Kelly!!) both of the doormen do an excellent job of keeping things safe and in control inside the bar too. the food from their restaurant next door is exactly what you need after a night of drinking, and the events B&B holds are the shit. they have the best karaoke night in the city, and the drag night is absolutely worth checking out. the live music and dj's also never disappoint. and during football season, they have the games on (go birds!) it's a classic dive bar, maybe one of THE dives in the city. a MUST visit for any dedicated PBR-head. 10/10. oh! and also the bathrooms are clean!!!! what more could you want?? ps. it's cash only but there is an atm inside

Fantastic "dive bar". And I mean that in the most respectful way. Absolutely terrific 💯

Cool old school vibe, cheap drinks, great service and amazing music. A jazz band was playing when I went and the were fantastic. A PBR and a shot for $5. A great value that’s hard to beat. If live music and affordable drinks are your thing it’s definitely worth a trip.

Nice place and the bartender was good. They had people playing jazz that was a pleasant bonus.

This place is a must! Great vibes, divey setting, and don't forget to order the city wide special (PBR & shot of Jack Daniels) for $5!! We will definitely be back to this watering hole!

Verging on the Mammoth The Mentions (Dementia) - my Benjamin couriers - Godspeed. Boris (Johnson). Your slick back, Bryllcream Baby. Appendage or vortex. Oh how we entered into a Barnum and Bailey. No Bob nor Borbora (Gheel) for they wer behind the wheel of the cedars ( Lebanon). The dance of the sugar plum fairy betwixt by the octopus (squid). The first decade of the eight. Vienna 1933, the slopes of Zell am See / the Anchlus. The reformation of Frau Brady. A freakgeist like an abominable Trojan. Oh he tracked and he found us. Even still this morning, the locust swarmed to our behest and located his undying prey. Bob in Borbara, you enticing Beer hall pushes, how to fall at the final hurdle, how to kidnap a soul. Farewell.
