The 5 Best Bars In Philly For Your 21st Birthday

Most students turn 21 over the course of their college careers. Luckily, there is no shortage of amazing bars and restaurants that are perfect for celebrating this monumental birthday! From bars on campus to those located in Center City, there is something for everyone to enjoy. Here are the 5 best bars in Philly for your 21st birthday celebration.

1. Maxi’s

Maxi’s is conveniently located on Temple’s campus on Liacouras Walk. While many students go there for their food, most go for the alcohol, even between classes. Grab some dinner and relax with friends and classmates after a day of classes.

2. Draught Horse

The Draught Horse is also located on Temple’s campus in Templetown on Broad Street. They offer typical bar food and are priced higher than Maxi’s, so this is the perfect place to take your parents if they come to town to help you celebrate.

3. Hard Rock

If you want to celebrate off-campus, the Hard Rock Café is a great choice. Though it is a bit touristy, it is located at 12th and Market, right at Jefferson Station. They have cocktails in mason jars and hurricane glasses that you can keep with a fee. They also serve a variety of wines and beers, though their cocktails are a huge hit.
