Description

In our opinion, there are few better ways to get to know a city than over a beer with a local. Enter, our Philly on Tap tour! Discover the essence of this fascinating city through the rich flavors of Philly beer, a truly unique experience for both the avid fanatic and beer beginner.

We begin your Philadelphia beer tour at the very heart of modern Philadelphia, City Hall. You'll meet your local guide and step out onto the streets of Philly, where we'll discover some of the sights and sounds of Philadelphia as people are finishing up their work day. At this time of day, many a Philly local will be beelining for the closest happy hour, and we'll do exactly the same! We'll choose from some of the most unique, typical, and popular drinking establishments in the city. We’ll have the option to visit the oldest continuously operating bar in Philadelphia (dating back to 1860), a classic dive bar, an Irish pub with local flair, a modern beer café, and many other neighborhood bars and pubs. At each location, we'll talk about the history of these bars, why they are so popular, and why locals crave a unique and authentic setting to enjoy food and drinks with friends, family, and co-workers.

One drink at each bar is included with the tour, as well as a pub or street snack — the perfect accompaniment for your Philadelphia beer. And the bars we visit all have one thing in common: a taste for Philadelphia's local craft beers and breweries! You'll quickly find out why Philadelphia is one of America's best beer cities, and learn the names and tastes of places such as Philadelphia Brewing Co., Victory, Yards, Troegs, Flying Fish, Sly Fox, Dogfish Head, Nodding Head, and Dock Street Brewing Co.

After happy hour, end your Philadelphia bar tour at the tour's final pub. From there you’ll be able to continue on your own Philly beer journey, grab some dinner at one of Philadelphia's many great restaurants nearby, or head straight back to your new favorite Philadelphia pub.

Loved the constitutional walking tour today with Our guide Adam. We learned so much about the city and not just Philadelphia’s history but a lot of American history generally. Adam was able to help us ‘join the dots’ with the gaps in our knowledge and also directed us towards some great places to eat. Adam was friendly, knowledgeable and generous with his time.

Italian Market with Chuck. Where to start? He was down to earth, educated at U Penn ….a retired professor…..born, raised and still resides in South Philly. He knew everyone in every store. We were family from the first 2 minutes. And the food? Chuck made sure that we were COVID friendly as we savored minutes made bread from Sarcones ( as a true Italian) got us all way more than we needed (there were 12 of us), and we got to take a whole loaf home which was devoured by the next morning. And fresh tortillas……..The market itself is a throwback to the 1800s. Vendors yelling, fresh EVERYTHING…… I just can’t rave about this tour more. The perfect way to start our 2022. Ask for Chuck if you can!
