Wednesday nights starting at 8 p.m. at this Fishtown dive bar operating since 1965 under the Market-Frankford elevated tracks.

Look for the massive Glossblack and Evan Lovett bald eagle mural on the back of the building.

Wednesday nights at The 700, the Northern Liberties bar that helped define the neighborhood's transformation from industrial hinterland to nightlife destination. Opened in 1997 when owners Tracy Stanton and Kurt Wunder—former Khyber Pass colleagues—bought a building with a hole in the roof for $35,000.

Wednesday nights starting around 7:30 p.m. at this Fishtown nanobrewery housed in an 1880s carriage house. Meyer's is named after Meyers Dairies, a family-operated dairy business in Ambler from the 1880s through the 1950s—hence the beer served in vintage milk bottles and glasses.

Wednesday nights from 8–11:30 p.m. inside the 1885 Weisbrod & Hess Oriental Brewing Company building in Kensington.

Sign-ups at 7:30 p.m. The building survived Prohibition by producing "Peacock Beverages," a nod honored in the downstairs bar's name today. Kenzinger and Walt Wit on tap.

Five rounds with prizes every round — the top-scoring team wins $100 off their tab, plus there's a monthly best-team prize. Sits at the Manayunk/Roxborough border on Umbria Street.
