Had to try this spot out. Was fan of Shorty's, but this place is even better. Started off with some cocktails. I got the Poison Ivy which was a gin cocktail and a punch drink that tasted like rum punch. I forgot the name, but it was good. We started off with their beer battered onion rings which come with garlic aioli. We also got the Philly cheesesteak egg rolls which are served with queso. Both were a great start to the meal. After that we got into the sandwiches. We had to get the OG cheesesteak with whiz which was delicious. We also got the roast pork special with broccoli rabe and cooper sharp cheese and the Italian hoagie which was loaded with and mortadella, genoa salami, capicola, pepperoni, provolone, lettuce, tomato and onion. We also tried their garlic battered cheddar bites and their Italian fries. Not quite sure why they are called Italian fries, maybe because they're delicious (and seasoned with Italian seasonings and parmesan cheese). They also have wings with housemade buffalo sauce that we tried as well. Everything was really good and the place had a chill vibe. Throwback songs were playing and they have a bunch of TVs to watch sports if you're into that. Overall, it was a good time and...

Read moreAfter a night at a concert, we had about 25 minutes to spare before our next destination. In an area that is not known for its night scene, we were a bit discouraged that we were just going to have to wait around. Just as luck will find us, we crossed paths with Olde City Cheesesteaks & Brew.
What a great place, this is my kind of bar. Just a bunch of fellas hanging out enjoying a drink, they had a front door man checking ID making sure everyone is on the up and up, he cracked a joke, made us laugh, great dude.
They had a DJ on the side, keeping the music fresh instead of playing the radio on repeat which is nice, it never got loud, so it was a great time to have deep conversations of fate, love and tacos.
Aside being a pub with a great selection of drinks, their specialty is cheesesteak. My brother and his girl got a sandwich to go, which was ready in 5 minutes and they loved it. I had the egg roll cheesesteak and they were slamming! Loved them, didn't see any cheesesteak tacos, I'll ask next time.
Bartender was polite, fast and cool, enjoyed the short stay, did exactly what we needed, experience was...
