Thursday night bar crawl?
Hi all,
A few friends and I will be arriving in the early evening on Thursday. I've been checking the forums to see if some kind of bar crawl was being organized and it looks like there isn't one.
Are there any locals who can recommend a good pub for food and local beer? Be happy to meet up with folks if anyone is flying solo.

If you wanted more of a bar crawl, you could do one centered around the Breweries in Fishtown (Evil Genius, Goose Island, PBC, Fermentery Form, Mainstay) or the ones in/near Northern Liberties (Yards, Roy Pitz, Love City, and there is a new one I haven't been to that just opened). You also can't go wrong with anything on East Passyunk Ave, lots of cool bars heading down that way and the Fountain Porter is a great place to get an amazing $5 burger + a great beer.

There are definitely bars in the area that will play it, so long as it's on a channel they get. You may need to ask, but a lot of places are accommodating, especially during dead times.
In terms of places with a lot of tvs, Bar-Ly is is right around the block from the convention center. They also have a happy hour that I think starts at 3pm. Field House is also close, right next to the Reading Terminal Market. It's recommended a lot for the location, but I'm personally not a fan.
If you go a few more blocks south, there's a number of bars you can check out. Bru, Tradesmans, Brickwall, and Milkboy are a couple I've caught soccer games at off the top of my head. Bru and Trademans usually have a bunch of local beers available, Brickwall has darts and other bar games, and Milkboy opens around 7am, so if you're looking to catch a game even earlier in the day it may be a good shot.
I used to plan the Pokecrawl and "started" the Totally Last Minute Starcrawl for the first PAX Unplugged. I missed PAXU last year but the tradition was kept alive by PeasantDave. Anyway, I'm back again and planning on crawling with anyone willing to join us. Presenting:
The 2019 totally last minute barcrawl!
Note: All bars are tentative, I'll try to keep my twitter (@loofmodnar) updated with our current location should any of the bars become full or if the schedule goes off the rails which it probably will.
How to Participate
Show up to one of the bars below and say “hi”. We’ll be easily distinguishable by what ever random costumes we pull out of storage and general drunken appearance. Probably (mostly) standard issue Starfleet uniforms but we'll see what I find.
Is this star themed? Do I have to dress up?
Maybe? You don't need to dress up but I encourage you to wear something ridiculous.
Will we still collect money for Child’s Play?
Of course!
What about challenges?
As your Captain, I'll have a collection of missions available to any crew members who wish to form an away team to volunteer for them.
