What are some good bars to go out to for my 21st birthday in the Philadelphia area?

I feel like I always give this answer, but: Old City, particularly around 2nd & Chestnut (near Penn's Landing). It's packed with great bars and restaurants--in fact, you can pretty much bar-hop your way through it. If a place is too expensive or you don't like the vibe, just try the place next door. If you're into salsa music, Cuba Libre is a good place to go dancing (love the mojitos, too). My friends and I always seem to end up at Buffalo Billiards--it's on the cheaper side, the pool area is really nice, and the jukebox has a great selection (also, the food is surprisingly good--best fries in town). http://www.buffalobilliards.com/philadelphia/ http://www.cubalibrerestaurant.com/philly_index.php You might also want to check out Manayunk, which is another great neighborhood for nightlife. I think you would particularly enjoy the Manayunk Brewery. http://www.manayunkbrewery.com/homepage.php If you like music, look into the Grape Street Pub as well: http://www.grapestreet.com/ Don't stress; I'm sure wherever you end up, you'll have a great time. Happy birthday!

Sorry.....I don't live there but just wanted to say HAPPY ALMOST BIRTHDAY AND HAVE A GREAT TIME!!!! OH....AND PLEASE BE CAREFUL :) (I'm a mom so I had to add that part)

Egypt on Springarden. Center City.

just do South Street, the whole entire street. it's an experience. there are so many bars, restaurants, different shops, and interesting little hideways. you can't pick up some great things in the shops that line the strees on both sides. and i like it because i used to get off work very late at night when i was a casino blackjack dealer in Atlantic City. i'd take the bus from A.C. to Philly and it didn't matter how late, South Street was open. on a late summer night i could walk into a little shop and buy a pair of sunglasses and flip flops and step into a little hideaway for a beer and still get a philly cheesesteak or some other type of food if i didn't feel like having a cheesetake. just knowing that in the wee hours i could get it was great. there are some nice clubs on Delaware Ave below and all along the waterfront. you'll have a great time. Philadelphia is a great city. have a great time and i wish you the best
