experience your philly

Okay, so let’s talk Irish coffee—because it just doesn’t get better than caffeine and whiskey in one perfectly cozy, slightly boozy cup. We’re gearing up for St. Patrick’s Day and craving a little pick-me-up, and Philadelphia has plenty of spots serving up a mean Irish coffee. We did the very important research (you’re welcome), and here’s where you can get the best of the best.

Philadelphia is about to turn 50 shades of green because St. Patrick’s Day is coming in HOT. Doesn’t matter if you’re chugging Guinness, belting out “Shipping Up to Boston,” or making new best friends in a bar bathroom, this city knows how to celebrate no matter where you are. (Do you even know where you are on St. Patrick’s Day? Like in Philadelphia? Or the Universe? ‘Cause same.) Let’s get into it.

It’s time to dig out every green thing you own – though we Philadelphians are no strangers to the color green (especially this past week) – because St. Patrick’s Day is coming, and in Philadelphia, that means one thing and one thing only: Erin’s Express. If you’re not already prepping your liver, lacing up your most comfortable bar-crawling shoes, and mentally preparing to drink your weight in Guinness, you’re doing St. Paddy’s Day a disservice. And if you’ve never been? Consider this your official welcome to one of the wildest traditions Philly has to offer.

Okay, let’s take a deep breath because I don’t think it’s fully sunk in yet. OUR EAGLES DID IT AGAIN. Super Bowl LIX champs, baby! And now, it’s time to do what Philadelphia does best—throw the biggest, loudest, greenest parade this city has ever seen.

And before you ask—YES, we are absolutely taking a PTO day, YES, we are dressing head to toe in Birds gear, and YES, we will be losing our voices screaming “GO BIRDS” at strangers on Broad Street.

Okay, Eagles fans, this is not the year to be sitting on your couch with a sad bag of chips and a can of lukewarm beer. The Birds are back in the Super Bowl, and Philadelphia is ready to party harder than Broad Street after the NFC Championship. Lucky for you, there are still tickets to some open-bar Super Bowl events—let’s break it down before they sell out!

It’s time to suit up in green, scream at TVs, and prepare for what we do best: turning the Super Bowl into a citywide party. Philadelphia is ready to turn up, and if you thought the energy was wild when we clinched our playoff spot, just wait until you see the city this weekend. Eagles fans ‘round these parts don’t play when it comes to watching the game; we throw the kind of parties that could make national news. 

Valentine’s Day is creeping up, and we think a romantic cocktail bar with a dreamy date or an anti-Valentine’s night out with your ride-or-die. No boring dinners or cliché roses here—we’re talking candlelit booths, skyline views, and drinks that will make your heart swoon.

We’ve all had that one night where a few too many cocktails gave us the sudden confidence to belt out “Don’t Stop Believin’” like we were headlining Madison Square Garden. And I get it—sometimes you’re that person at the bar who thinks you’re a diamond in the rough waiting to be discovered by a record label exec who’s lurking nearby. That’s what karaoke nights in Philadelphia are for: bad singing, feel-good vibes, and memories that leave you cringing and laughing the next day.

Let’s set the scene for a moment. It’s 1:45 a.m., we’re middle of the dance floor, the DJ’s dropping bangers, and suddenly it hits us: Philadelphia clubs start shutting down at 2 a.m. sharp. Tragic. But hold up—this is where the real fun starts. Not ready to go home? Same. Let’s talk about the spots where the night doesn’t end when the clock strikes 2. You down? Cool, let’s go.
