McCusker's Tavern

After a game at the stadiums, you usually end up in one of two obstacle courses: the traffic on I-95 or the human jungle gym that’s trying to get a space on the Broad Street Line. Instead, drive the five minutes it takes to get to McCusker's Tavern. The nostalgic, wood-paneled, cash-only dive bar has plenty of TV’s, seats from the old Veterans Stadium, and so much throwback memorabilia you’ll think your car is actually a time machine. It’s the exact place you should spend a couple of hours drinking $4 beers and eating greasy onion rings while avoiding those hundreds of strangers you high-fived an hour ago.
