Drown Your Sorrows at These Philadelphia Pubs

  Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Yes the Phillies lost to the Yankees last night in game 6 of the World Series, but there is still much to love about the "City of Brotherly Love." From cheesesteaks to U.S. history, Philadelphia pretty much has something for everyone.

But if you are still feeling a bit down the day after a World Series loss, here are a few places to crawl up to the bar and drink away the memories of this past baseball season.

Grace Tavern: Even though this it has only been open for about five years, Grace has definitely made an impact on the Philly bar scene. From the perfectly poured pint of Guinness to local microbrews on tap, this pub has a great selection of adult beverages. The pub grub, if you can call it that, ranges from outstanding burgers to delicious handmade sausage. 2229 Grays Ferry Ave. 215.893.9580

Good Dog Bar: What is better than a bar with a great drink menu? How about a bar with a great drink AND food menu. That is what you will get when you make your way to Good Dog Bar. Locals and visitors come for the mouth watering Good Dog burger and stay for the wide selection of beers and wines. Stop in Wednesdays for half-priced canned beers and be sure to play your favorite tunes on their internet jukebox. 224 S. 15th St. 215.985.9600

Standard Tap: Located in a corner two-story building, this bar's crowd ranges from hipsters to frat boys. The former brewmaster of Sam Adams opened this joint, so it has to good. Friendly bartenders serve up both mainstream brews and an impressive homegrown beer collection. 901 N. Second St. 215.238.0630

Monk's Belgian Cafe: A beer snob's paradise, Monk's offers the most extensive collection of rare and hard to find beers in Philadelphia. This Belgian bar also offers certain cheeses, fruits and meat which pair perfectly with each pint. 626 S. 16th St. 215.545.7005
