The Bishops Collar Bar

The Bishops Collar Bar is famous for its delicious Bloody Mary and it's near excessive amount of TV screens. The Bishops collar offers traditional Irish Décor and attitude. And is one of the premier happy hour spots in Philadelphia. This is a nice little neighborhood bar, popular with a 20's to 30's crowd, though you also see older neighborhood regulars there. Tap brews include local brands (Victory, Stoudt, and Yuengling) with some national crafts (Rogue, Sierra Nevada, Anchor). Other beers include Guinness, Harp, Heineken, Yards, Woodchuck, Hoegaarden, John Courage, Bass, and New Castle. The bartenders are friendly. The bar is located in the Fairmount/Art Museum area, an historic neighborhood just outside the heart of Center City near the Philadelphia Art Museum. The neighborhood has its share of quiet, neighborhood restaurants and bars that are all within walking distance from The Bishop's Collar (including Brigid's, just up the street, and London and Rembrandt's a block away). And, if you were wondering, the "Bishop's Collar" is an expression used for a perfectly poured pint of Guinness: When poured correctly it brings to mind a Bishops' Roman collar.
