There are several drinking and dining venues under one roof here, but they all have in common their close proximity to Philadelphia's major sports and events stadiums. If there's a game on, and you haven't got a ticket, then sinking a beer or two here is likely to be the next best thing.

Outside the bar note the 12ft-tall statue of Joe Frazier by Stephen Layne. The boxer lived in Philadelphia for 50 years and the statue's pose is modeled after a photograph of the moment Frazier floored Muhammad Ali to win the heavyweight title in 1971.
