Although we live in New Jersey, when the time comes for a serious night of eating and drinking, Philly is where we go! Way back in the day (I grew up in Philly and lived there until my early 30s), there were only a handful of places that served both quality food AND quality drink. Thanks to the Craft Beer/Spirits/Cocktails/Food revolution that has swept the nation, the choices are plentiful. In fact, the choices are so plentiful that making a decision, i.e. picking a place to eat or drink, is a time consuming and sometimes frustrating endeavor. Thankfully, your dear friends at “It’s just the booze dancing…” are here to help by way of a Top 5 list of our favorite Philly bars. Here they are in no particular order…

1. Good Dog Bar
2. Strangelove’s
3. Standard Tap
4. Misconduct Tavern
5. Monk’s Cafe

Of course, the “Where are we going tonight?” dilemma is not unique to Philadelphia. In cities all across the country, people struggle with this decision on a nightly basis. If you’re tired of dealing with this “issue” (talk about your #FirstWorldProblems!), then we know of an app that will solve your “Night on the Town!” problems…
