Philadelphia
It's tempting to hang out upstairs at this buzzing restaurant and bar with its double-height ceiling and long horseshoe bar. But head downstairs to discover the two-lane bowling alley and cozy gentleman's club–like space with leather armchairs and distressed walls. There's a good range of cocktails from $11 and draft beer from $7.
Weekend brunch lovers note: they offer custom-order omelettes and have a DIY doughnut station from 10:30am to 2pm on Saturday and Sunday.
