Ray 's 'happy Birthday '

great prices. very low key. bartender played a campy horror movie that was entertaining.

great bar! only cash, but good prices. super friendly bartender!

great dipping, annual tradition. very smokey, but all of this. update: no longer smoky! You can go there now and don't smell in the morning. or maybe they smell only terrible and this is not my problem. Smoking cigarettes is no longer allowed here. smell but you want.

It might be my favorite place because I met my boyfriend there at a birthday party on a Friday Karaoke night!! But who doesn’t love cheap citywides and a free shot to celebrate your bday?

A gem in South Philly. Cash only. Do not hesitate.

I witnessed a young trendy couple with their friends think it was a good idea to bring their baby into this bar, which is ill advised to say the least (this is still a smoking bar afterall). Luckily, for better or worse, the locals picked up on this quite quickly and politely asked them to leave in their native Philadelphia tongue. After the group had exited, the outraged male of the couple stormed back in exclaiming we aren 't from here! Once again, the locals explained to this man that taking to your baby to a dive bar at midnight exhibits poor decision making and parental instincts and that he should leave immediately. Welcome to Philly!
