Not in the mood for an overcrowded dance club with sweaty, perverted people and music that makes your eardrums want to burst? Are you tired of the boring art galleries, seeing the "indescribable" paintings and sculptures? Yea, so was I. That is why I yearned for a night in Old City of relaxation, but yet fun, hitting up three different bars and pubs.

Venturing off in Old City started around ten o' clock when my friends and I walked up Second Street looking for the first victim to put up with a group of smart alec twenty on year olds. Anthony's Olde City Pub, which is known for their cheep pitchers, stiff drinks, and a decent menu, was our first stop. Located on 2nd and Market sts, this southern styled pub is definitely for those of a casual style. You can go in, grab a beer and rock to your song of choice with thier three for a dollar juke box.

Our second pit stop was Nick's Roast Beef on 16 2nd Street. Don't let the name fool you because not only is this bar known for its outstanding roast beef, but also for live band performances which are held on the top floor known as "The Attic". When I asked th bouncer, Kyle Wilder, what type of crowd is usually found in there, he answered "usually college aged people, a few older men who just come in for a beer or two. But colllege students definitely like to come in for the bands."

Our night ended at Paddy's Pub on 228 Race Street. It is known to be a local hangout by older men, but turns into a wide range of ages by night. This pub holds many beers on tap, including Yuengling Lager, Miller Lite, and of course an Irish favorite, Irish Stout. Trying to be serious when asking a customer, Adam Bromar, if he "comes here often", he answered, "no, actually it's my first time and it kind of sucks." And he was right, it did kind of suck. It was a bad place to end.
