1. Ortlieb’s
Northern Liberties
Ortlieb’s has a long history in Northern Liberties as being a hole-in-the-wall spot that offers up exceptional bar food and great local beer, but it’s also a music venue that welcomes small local acts as well as larger bands rolling through town. Even when bands aren’t hitting the stage, Ortlieb’s is a very cool, low-key hang.
Taco Tuesdays are the highlight of the week with a rotating roster of heavenly specimens. Same goes for Handmade Pasta Wednesday. But with items like the juicy Double “O” Burger and the vegan meatball Parm (tasty for herbivores and carnivores alike) every other day of the week is just as great.
