Francesca's

This is a bar for the hard core, old school bar patrons. If youre here at 11am on a constant basis, then that's the drinking methodology you need to fit in. Ive been here many times but because in the back they used to house Uncle Frank's BBQ. Theyve had a number of other good and bad food symbiotic establishments since then but the scenario remains the same. You get food in one place and you saddle up to the bar to get your drinks. Some workers are friendly some indifferent. I guess that's the charm of this place.

A nice place to grab a little after-work happy hour or to catch a game. Have not had the bar food yet and have only gone on a weekday.

Pros:
~ Awesome Beer Selection
~ Busy, but not too busy. Getting a drink doesn't take 10 minutes and there's plenty of people around to start a conversation with.
~ Can be seen as a dive, but they put money into the bar to make it feel comfortable rather than divey.
~ Cool bartenders. Will let you sample any beer and they do not expect ridiculous tips. Mine gave me my beer free cause he spilled some over the side of my glass.

Cons:
~Some of the TVs were on the fritz. Not a huge deal, but there's a slightly chance you are sitting in the wrong area and can't watch the sports on a good TV.

~Only 1 restroom for the gents and it doesn't have a big troth. If you're willing to get friendly you maybe able to squeeze 3 dudes in to piss. Was not an issue when I was there, but I could see it being one on a busier night.

Excellent beer selection and a well-stocked bar.  Pretty much all you need, right? But wait!  There's more! Beer pong, pool table, televisions, and mellow patrons!
Stopped in for a shot and a beer on my birthday, and I'm glad I did.  I dare to say that it's basically "the perfect bar," but then again that could just be the "birthday shot and a beer afterglow" talking.  
The place is noticeably clean (but still appropriately dimly-lit as good bars should be), the bartender was friendly (as they all should be as well), and the drink prices were good.  Looking forward to spending some after-work happy hours there and having some food next time, too.  It certainly doesn't hurt that one of my favorite taquerias is right next door, too.
I had to deduct one star because the bar supports the Steelers.  I'm an Eagles fan. But that doesn't mean I won't come have a good time at Francesca's!
