A three-part "where'd I eat/drink this weekend?" challenge

Filed Under: Where'd We Eat?

On Saturday night, the girl and I attended the grand opening gala for Union Trust at Seventh and Chestnut. It was packed to the gills. I wore a tie and drank a bunch.

Then we randomly met some friends here:

Before even more randomly ending up here:

On Sunday, I picked up some dinner here:

So what say you, Meal Ticketers? Can you name these three spots? 

Also: Where did you eat/drink this weekend? Let's hear it in the comments.

I know the sign outside the Dolphin Tavern when I see it! (And there's Ms. Pac-Man inside too!  Oh yeah, and naked ladies!)



The other two? Not so sure.

Good eye, that is the Dolphin! Quietly the most fun bar in South Philly? I think so.



One down, two to go. I'll start dropping some clues a little later if no one's nailed them yet.

3 looks like Almaz, which might be my lunch today.

Kelly's got it. Even though the menu is much smaller, I personally think Almaz rivals the West Philly Ethiopian/Eritrean landmarks in both quality and value. Get the kitfo, y'all. The first spot is still up in the air. Here's a clue — it's east of Broad Street and north of South Street. And I've never been there before.

Is number 1 the first floor of Key West?  It's definitely a gay bar, from the absence of any women and the rainbow striped bud light tap.

Impressive use of context clues! It is a gay bar, but not Key West...

Ok, I'm gonna say Woodies.  Final answer.

It always looks so much bigger and classier through my beer goggles! Ok, maybe not classier...
