6 reviews for Pitchers Pub
I practically grew up in Manayunk but never really set out to drink there before. Most of the bars / pubs have been a little too snooty for my taste.
Then during the art festival we stopped in Pitchers since it is more of the dive-style neighborhood bar I am comfortable in. Wow. $1 beers and awesome munchies. (The poppers are great.) The bartender even hooked us up with some free shirts. $20 later my stomach was full and I had a nice buzz going...just in time to head back into the heat.
So kudos to you cool bar tender guys...we will definitely be back for more.
(I also love the fact that they have Big Game Hunter in the back...man does that bring back memories. )

When my friends first started moving to Manayunk after college, Pitchers was the place you went to drink lots of beer without having to be around lots of people. The downtown area wasn't as full out gentrified as it is now, but Pitchers was the quiet bar for the serious drinkers.
That has definitely changed, because now that more and more expensive bars have moved into the area, more and more people looking for cheap drinks are coming to Pitchers. That and the ownership appears to have made the decision that hiring hot bartenders and having them show off just about everything they've got is going to attract male bar-goers. If that was their plan, it has worked.
Pitchers was my last stop of Bike Race Sunday. Cheap beer, all drinks served in plastic cups, a decent jukebox and relatively scantily clad bartenders is a good enough combo for me.
Pitchers got a new cook and seriously upgraded their menu! What used to be kinda gross pub food has transformed to pretty darn good pub food. Garlic parmesan wings are dead on.

Sooo different from other bars on main street manayunk. Pitchers is your typical dive bar, but with… Read more »
One of the last vestiges of the old Main Street, before the progress of the last eight years wiped out River City Billiards, the place that used to be on the site of the Manayunk Brewpub, and turned the strip almost totally in favor of those who favor high-end establishments and just-out-of-college louts.
Used to be I could get $2 pints and it's still a bargain at $4 from the tap. Introducing the Philadelphia Brewing Company beers on a near-permanent discount is a nice touch.
It's a great default location within a 5 minute walk if I want to nurse a beer or two and catch a football or hockey game since I don't have cable. Crowds vary for Phillies, Eagles and Flyers games but you're not going to have a problem if you're back-to-back waiting for a seat or at the bar.
Food is solid but not spectacular, typical bar fare but you don't have to wait very long. Also never had a hassle if I decided to get some take out orders after the bill was paid.

Ok, I had to add a star for the $1 Miller High Lifes (Lives?) during the Flyers game. Flyers lost and that was the only happy thing about the whole day.

Great watering hole if you're looking for a good place to have a beer and just...be in a real bar. Has not a hint of pretension - which is refreshing for a Manayunk bar.
Three big-screen hi-definition TVs, great (and friendly) barmaids and great drink deals make this the place to go, especially for the Eagles on Sunday or any other big sporting event. (If you're looking for an out-of-town game, though, you're out of luck if it's at the same time as anything Philly-related.)
Lots of fun on the weekends, if you can handle crowds. If not (or if you're over 35), stay home. You won't enjoy it.
Food selection's very limited, but you can bring in food from anywhere as long as it's not sold at the bar (meaning wings, fries and burgers, basically).
Check it out.
