Local bars and venues to watch the Phillies playoff and World Series run
Bask in the glory of 58-foot screens or cozy up at the neighborhood dive bar.
As the Phillies charge through another Red October, they need backup — and Philly’s ready to deliver.
Tickets are tough to snag, with most going to the lucky few who hit the playoff lottery. But that doesn’t mean Philadelphians can’t cheer on the Fightin’ Phils from home — or at your favorite local watering hole.
Dozens of bars and restaurants across the city will not only be playing the Phillies playoff (and hopefully, World Series) games with sound on, but they’ll be offering drink and food specials to go with it.
