Editors' Picks :: Nightlife
We recommend our favorite places to go to experience the best of Philadelphia nightlife
 
You might imagine that by working for Philadelphia's Official Tourism website we (the site editors and producers) have been able to visit a great deal of the various attractions across town. Well, you’d be imagining right… and Nightlife is certainly no exception.

We love this city — and we simply could not love it as much as we do if it were not for how much fun we have here after the sun goes down.

So with this category, we have selected some our very favorite places, ranging from an awesome spot to go to watch a live show in Fishtown (Johnny Brenda’s) and a new place for some food and dancing in NoLibs (Silk City) to a sublime gastro-pub in South Philly (Royal Tavern) and a unique wine, beer and cheese bar with two locations in Center City (Tria).

We highly recommend them all and we hope that you have allotted enough time on your visit so you can try each one. Cheers!
