Phillies Nation

Living in New York, you see a huge variety of bars that taylored towards sports teams outside of the NY area. I have seen Florida Gator, Ohio State, Red Sox, Chicago, North Carolina, etc. Wogie’s is the only Philly place. Wogie’s does have great cheesestaeks, and was a good spot during the playoffs last year, but the West Village is not the easiest place to get to for many people in other areas. There must be another place in NYC that we can go to for Philly games.

On a side note, I use to live in Queens for a short period and would go to Mets bars in my Phillies hat and/or jersey and Mets fans would try to talk trash or whatever. I must say that their hygene was enough to go search for another place to watch the games, but I have yet to find anywhere close by.

Right on. Being in Northern California, I’ll have to check out Kezar in SF the next time I am down there.

Harrington’s and/or Casper’s in the NE.

Philly:

- Byrne’s Tavern at Richmond & Westmoreland…and they have the best wings in the world
- General Grant’s on Grant Avenue just east of the Boulevard
- McGillin’s on Drury Street (off Juniper betw Sansom and Chestnut)
- Paddy Whack’s at Boulevard & Comly (and Steve’s Steaks is next door)

Just a few suggestions among the many great Philly stops.

Laspada’s Hoagie shop in Clearwater is filled with Phillies and Eagles stuff on all of the walls. The owners are from Delaware county, PA

“How come there are no bars listed for the HOME town of Philadelphia????”

Because, Karla, every bar in the city plays Phillies games. Or, at least, you’d be (very) hard pressed to find a bar inside the city that supports another team outside of the Phils. In fact, I can’t remember ever being in a bar inside the city limits or Montgomery County where another team was on instead of the Phillies.

Ohh nevermind, I see Pat’s is at 16th and Market. I will have to check it out.

I lived in pittsburrgh for 6 years, and I do think they have one there but I cant remember what it is called. Its not in any of the commonly frequented portions of the city thats for sure.

I second the motion for some information on the Pittsburgh scene. I attended all three games at PNC Park last weekend and there were possibly more Phils fans than Buccos there. Where does everybody go to watch the televised games? I know that Peter’s Pub on Pitt’s campus is the place to watch Eagles games during the season, but I don’t know of any place to watch the Phils. Fox and Hound on McKnight Road has the MLB package and will put the game on if you ask, but the two times I went there (last season’s final regular season game and this year’s opener) me and my buddies were the only Phils fans there. Any more information would be greatly appreciated!

haha I’m by no means a yinzer, just a transplant from back east earning a degree at Pitt. And in defense of my friends who are Pirates fans, a lot of people do care about the Bucco’s, it’s just hard to root for a team that has had a losing record in 13 straight seasons and counting. If the front office would act like they actually cared about the team, you’d see a lot more support from the Pittsburgh community. I’d also like to see the Pirates moved to the N.L. east. Not only would all of those easy wins help the Phils, but there also once was a great PA rivalry going on. Regardless, the Pirates suck and the Phillies don’t, so lets go Phils! Julie, make sure you post the results of your research!

I wholly agree that the Pirates should be in NL East. I lived in shadyside from graduate school until i moved back here and oakland before that. i miss peters pub. when i lived in shadyside i would watch games at the shadyside saloon or even the harris grill (heard it burned down), but they werent philly-friendly there. i cant remember an official phillies bar. there are places where theyll put it on for you though. if the pirates ownership cared about winning they would make a TON of money off of that ballpark. its the best ballpark in the majors (even better than our own CBP) because it is right on the water and you can see the whole of downtown from the grandstands. ahhh, good times. in the meantime, ill enjoy our CBP.

Oh and I’m not from Pittsburgh either, Julie!

You have to love these Pitt kids showing support for the old red and white pinstripes. Kimmie, I told some people back home about your coffee shop. Sounds like a cool place, although they all said they’d rather drink a Lancaster Milk Stout while watching the Phils over a latte (nothing personal!). I grew up in Ephrata so I was pleased to see some hometown news! Clare, what year are you/what’s your major? Julie, good work on calling around, although the results weren’t fantastic. The only other option I can think of is my living room, since I decided at the beginning of the season that there was no way around getting the MLB extra innings package. 3609 Parkview might be the unofficial Phillies headquarters of south oakland. The two problems with extra innings is, it’s way more fun to watch a game at a bar with other Phils fans, and the away team announcers always SUCK!!!

Jordan, I’m just starting there in August and I’m majoring in History. =) What about you? Oh and I definitely would not hesitate to come over and watch games at your place! I’ll miss them!!

Thank God I’m only going to Drexel next fall and won’t have to deal with buying some BS package to watch my Phils every night. Where’s the best place for a college kid to go to watch a game, specifically in the Drexel/Penn area?

nice I majored in history for my first pitt degree..

If history has taught us anything, it’s that Eaton stinks and people with joke majors don’t get good jobs. I’m just messing around, but Eaton does stink. Clare, you won’t have to worry too much about missing the Phils assuming you go home for the summer. You’ll miss the first three weeks of the season, and the last month. Good news is all of the playoff of games are nationally televised so you won’t have to miss a single game of the “chase” to the pennant. Pitt’s an awesome school, you’ll love it here. I’m jealous of you actually, the year I graduate Pitt’s football team will be the best it’s been since I came here in 2004, and the basketball team is supposedly going to be #3 in the country, but they’ll still blow it once they get to the dance.

I know but I never miss them. And I go to a million games.

InRome there is HARRYS AMERICAN BAR………

I have a bar in Washington DC, Ventnor Sports Cafe, Tons off Phillies stuff around and we always have people watching the Phils…As I grew up going to the Vet I’m hoping to turn this place into a huge Phillies Bar in Washington!

put one in CHINA!!!!!
