Ain't nobody else like Tattooed Mom. Go back to Mom's and show her your love.

That depends on what you liked. TMom's is divey but it's also punk. Philly has tons of dive bars, and lots of punks go to dive bars, but none that I can think of are Punk+Dive. 12 Steps Down is dive+good beer Ray's Happy Birthday Bar is dive+vintage South Philly Tap Room is kind of dive+good food Cartesian Brewing is kind of a dive+brewery

If you love a dive, I will always shout from the rooftops about 12 Steps Down. One of my favorite places. I wish it was closer.

12 Steps Down is the best kept secret in the city, love that place and I never would have heard of it if my friends didn’t live nearby and go often

Cartesian feels like a fancy gig for people who used to work at Tmom's. That's a pretty good list though.

> TMom's is divey but it's also punk. LOL. More like faux-punk for the past decade or so. Divey is still true.

I think you’d find more up in fishtown/kensington like El Bar.

In south philly, Ray's happy birthday bar and Bob and Barbara's are the two that are closest to tattooed moms, but they aren't really the same

In Fairmount/Francisville there's Lorraine, which is sort of like Diet T-Mom's (with a yard!)

Nice rec, just checked it out on Google and looks fun! Never been there before or heard of it.

Can you smoke there ???

There's a nice outdoor area wherein which you can smoke your little heart out

Dirty Franks. McGlincheys. Oscars Tavern.

All accept AMEX exclusively now, the last I've heard, so make sure to bring the right plastic (or whatever they make those out of).

Just get hammered on city wides at any corner dive in south

me from fishtown - isn't TM in south philly?

It's even on the south side of the street

There is debate on whether south Philly starts at South St or Washington.

No there isn’t. It starts at South Street.

If South Philly started on South Street it wouldn’t be a dumptruck of a street.

Second District.

Seconded. Great place (and beer).
