Tucked on a quiet corner just off the East Passyunk strip, this lived-in, old-school tap dispenses 20 well-thought-out craft beers and serves budget weekend breakfasts and perhaps one of the most sought-after burgers in town (made even more palatable by its $5 price tag). It gets mighty loud when crowded.
