Pub on Passyunk East (P.O.P.E.)
In today's fast-paced, short-attention-span world, we often look for what's up-and-coming rather than enjoying the here-and-now. Like those goldfish we won from traveling carnivals when we were little kids, local establishments often appear fine one day, then go belly-up the next. That's why it's cause for celebration when a great business actually thrives. Head to the P.O.P.E. on Saturday, June 28 to ring in the bar's second anniversary. The P.O.P.E. has come a long way since it opened two years ago--patrons can now kick back in a cozy lounge area inside or spend their lazy summer nights enjoying hearty draughts at outdoor tables. The jukebox alone is worth making the trip to South Philly. Forget soulless digital jukeboxes spewing over-played radio hits. Each CD in the P.O.P.E.'s jukebox has been hand selected with care. Don't be surprised if you walk out with a list of songs to buy from iTunes when you get home. And ladies, make sure you hit the powder room--the Tiger Beat collage will put a goofy smile on your face for days. Because who really needs more "Sheila is a bitch!" graffiti, anyway?
