Where to Eat in Philadelphia

Misconduct Tavern — Fan Eats
Fan Eats

Misconduct Tavern

Misconduct Tavern is a beloved Center City sports bar and gastropub with one of the best wing menus in Philadelphia and a loyal following among Flyers, Eagles, and Sixers fans who pack the multiple TV areas for every game. The location between City Hall and South Philly makes it a natural gathering point for fans arriving for Wells Fargo Center events or heading down Broad Street for a game, and the craft beer selection does justice to Philadelphia's surprisingly strong local brewing scene. The name is a Flyers hockey reference — you're in the right place.
Reading Terminal Market — Fan Eats
Fan Eats

Reading Terminal Market

Reading Terminal Market — operating continuously since 1893 in a National Historic Landmark building — is Philadelphia's greatest food institution and the mandatory pre-game stop for fans attending events at the Wells Fargo Center or Lincoln Financial Field. The Pennsylvania Dutch baked goods, DiNic's legendary roast pork sandwich, and Flying Monkey baked goods fuel Eagles and Flyers fans who know that Reading Terminal beats stadium food at a fraction of the price. On Eagles home Sundays, the market opens early and fills with green jerseys grabbing breakfast sandwiches before the pilgrimage south.

Best Bars in Philadelphia

Field House Philadelphia — Fan Bar

Field House Philadelphia

Field House on Ludlow Street is Philadelphia's most legendary sports bar — a massive multi-level venue where Eagles, Phillies, Sixers, and Flyers fans unite under one roof with enough screens to cover every game simultaneously and enough passion to be audible from Market Street. The Philly cheesesteak bar service and massive draft beer selection fuel some of the most emotionally invested sports fan experiences in America, where the city's reputation for passionate, unfiltered fandom is absolutely earned. On Eagles playoff days, Field House is the epicentre of Philly's civic sporting religion.
South Philly Taproom — Fan Bar
Fan Bar

South Philly Taproom

South Philly Taproom is the quintessential neighborhood sports bar for the people who actually live in the Eagles and Phillies' backyard — a rotating lineup of 24 draft beers, great bar food, and a community atmosphere rooted in genuine South Philadelphia sports pride rather than manufactured fan culture. The bar is within walking distance of the sports complex and fills with season-ticket holders and their families who've been coming here for decades, making it one of the most authentic post-game environments in all of professional sports. Don't be surprised if your barstool neighbor is related to someone on the team.
Xfinity Live! Philadelphia — Fan Bar

Xfinity Live! Philadelphia

Xfinity Live! is the ultimate Philly sports destination — a massive entertainment complex in the South Philadelphia Sports Complex housing multiple bars, restaurants, and live entertainment spaces directly across from Lincoln Financial Field, Citizens Bank Park, and the Wells Fargo Center. The complex becomes an extension of the stadium experience on Eagles and Phillies game days, with tens of thousands of passionate fans filling every corner from pregame through the final out or whistle. For any visiting fan who wants to understand the ferocious loyalty of Philadelphia sports culture, an hour at Xfinity Live! before kickoff is the definitive classroom.

Broad Street Subway Game Day Ride — Things to Do

Broad Street Subway Game Day Ride

Riding the Broad Street Line subway south on Eagles or Phillies game day is one of the most authentic and electric fan experiences in American sports — a standing-room-only car of passionate Philadelphia fans in green or red singing, chanting, and radiating the kind of genuine community energy that makes Philly sports culture legendary. The 15-minute ride from City Hall to the sports complex is essentially a rolling pregame party, and emerging onto Pattison Avenue into the sea of tailgating fans is a sensory jolt every first-time visitor remembers. It costs $2.50 and delivers memories worth far more.

South Philadelphia Sports Complex

The South Philadelphia Sports Complex clusters Citizens Bank Park, Lincoln Financial Field, and Wells Fargo Center together in one of North American sports' most unique geographic arrangements. Walking between venues on a day with back-to-back events, surrounded by Philly fans in mixed jerseys, is an experience found nowhere else. The tailgate energy that permeates the entire complex on game days is a testament to Philadelphia's status as one of America's most passionate sports cities.
