Bad Brother

Bad Brother is Fairmount’s ideal neighborhood spot if you want to watch a game but avoid a gameday crowd. There’s a dimly lit bar out front that sits around eight people, with a small TV and the energy of your uncle’s den. You’ll find another TV in the back dining room, where you can bring a few friends and grab a burger, a sausage roll (pretty much a sausage cheesesteak), and some of the city’s best wings. Because of the small space, you’ll need a reservation when the Eastern State Penitentiary crowd flows through or when the Sixers are on. But the extra work is worth the soy-glazed wings and spending the night staring at a weirdly flirty image of a purple Garfield on their wall.
