Philadelphia is in the midst of its first Red October in more than a decade as the Philadelphia Phillies continue an improbable run towards the 2022 World Series from the final Wild Card position.

The Fightin’ Phils — led by new skipper Rob Thomson and superstar sluggers Bryce Harper, Nick Castellanos and Rhys Hoskins — have taken the National League by storm in the postseason — and this sports-loving city has high hopes that the Fightins’ run will continue all the way into November.

Citizens Bank Park has been buzzing with energy — and that electric atmosphere has spread throughout the region.

Can’t make it to the game? We’ve got you covered with the next best thing: a list of Philly bars serving up a raucous game day atmosphere and some can’t-miss specials.

Garage

“Cold beers right heres” is the slogan at this mechanic-themed bar , which boasts an impressive canned beer selection at locations in East Passyunk and Fishtown. You can add “cheers and jeers” to that tagline during Phils’ playoff games with tuned-in fans glued to every pitch on the nearly countless TVs lining several walls. Pro tip: You’re allowed to bring outside food into both locations, so grab a cheesesteak from Pat’s or Geno’s across the street in South Philly or from Joe’s in Fishtown before heading in to snag your lucky seat.

Work out some of that nervous pregame energy by shooting pool, throwing darts or hopping on one of two regulation shuffleboards.

Where: Buffalo Billiards, 118 Chestnut Street
