17 Philly bars and restaurants where you can watch the game outside

Philly sports continue to dominate this year. With our Phillies headed to the playoffs and football season back at it, we’re down to be in the stands.

Not everyone is lucky enough to have tickets for their favorite sporting events though. In those times, dozens of sports bars stand in the gap and offer beer, grub and a space to celebrate or commiserate with other fans.

With drink specials, activities and blow-up TV screens, check out where you can cheer on the Phillies with sips, food, and a ton of open space.
