Dirty Franks

Five stars for the wonderful, iconic dive bar that is Dirty Franks. It's everything you hope a dive bar will be. It's crowded, there is an interesting cast of characters inside and out, and most importantly it is cash only. The perfection of a cash only establishment in 2024 is not lost on me. I never have cash on me, but for a visit to Dirty Frank's, I definitely will.When I went to visit Philly, this spot was a non-negotiable on our night out itinerary. It's definitely a come as you are, no judgement, good time spot. I couldn't tell you what I drank, but truly it didn't matter. I was so happy to be in this space. Do yourself a favor and pop in to Dirty Frank's next time you're in Philly. Last but not least, the decor is top notch. Do not miss taking in the hand cut paper snowflakes that adorn this spot. Just perfect.

dirty franks is a fantastic lil bar! it is almost ALWAYS crowded so you have to get there early! the service is always quick, no matter how busy it is. there's a touch tunes machine and an atm inside. there are tables but they will fill up quickly, and there's not much standing room when it's busy! they also have outdoor seating available.they don't serve food, but i did see they have some snacks behind the bar. specifically combos and some nut mix.CASH ONLY!

We didn't get any food, but we did get great drinks and great vibes at a real Philly neighborhood bar! Dirty franks is cash only, but everything is so reasonably priced and well made. The eagles were on (GO BIRDS!) and it was packed, yet the service was still top notch, and friendly and responsive.

Dirty Franks is a no frills, cash only, pet friendly, neighborhood dive bar. The TVs are so old they aren't even high def. At Dirty Franks you will get a friendly bartender and strong drinks. You will not get food. It is a nice spot to hang out with friends and have drinks, without the fanciness and prices of other cocktail bars in the city. But the cash only policy really sucks in this era in which most people don't even carry cash and you can pay at other places with your phone.

I don't know who frank is, but I love his bar so much... would never make him shower, no matter how dirty he is... frozen lemonades slap, good beers, friendly bartenders, TouchTunes always ripping. Top class from the young lad.

Dirty Franks is baked into the glorious lore of Philadelphia and the many people who call it home - myself included. My affinity for this dive bar's singularity cannot be overstated, and all of my interactions with this space have been truly magical. Franks will adapt to whatever kind of night and vibe you're looking to cultivate. For me, it's looked like a "ripped from a rom com" first date with my now-boyfriend at the bar, a debaucherous evening camped out at a booth with my out-of-town parents, and a few "let's stop by Franks before the function" kind of nights with friends. Whatever brings you in, it is likely you'll be walking out with good memories made (albeit a little worse for wear...the drinks are strong).Take some time to really take it all in! The art on the walls, the cut out snowflakes, and some Mummers history really help to set the scene. Prices are about as good as you're going to get in the city, and they do have all kinds of specials if you decide to take a look at their menu. I look forward to bringing my dog in to enjoy the magic of Franks with me at some point in the very near future, and appreciate that this community staple will always have such a special place in my heart and story. A top dive bar in the country in my opinion, and a must-do if you're looking to get a better understanding of Philly.

Honestly had high expectations that fell short. The bartender seemed to hate that we were there, and the place felt super dingy and dirty. However, the drinks were STRONG. So if your down for a true dive experience this may be the place for you.

Dirty franks is the dive to end all dives. Take a dive to this dive. It's a swan dive. It's an Olympic dive. It's loud enough but quiet enough to go on first dates. It's great for large groups of besties and bagged chips. BYO food - great pizza place next door. The all-ladies bartenders are always iconic and laugh at my jokes. They won't mess around and are definitely keeping an eye out for women on first dates

I have been obsessed with this bar since the second I laid eyes on it. Dirty Frank's is pet friendly, cash only, and has no sign outside. There is an awesome crowd of regulars that are friendly and love to talk to new people. Each visit is a different adventure.First timers should know that Dirty Frank's is a no frills, hardcore dive bar. There are paper snowflakes hanging from the ceiling, the walls are decorated with remnants of the bar's beautiful past. This is not the place for fancy cocktails or a food menu. I have seen people walk in with food from other places, and even order pizzas in. Every patron is welcomed to come as they are. I have been to Dirty Frank's after a gala in an evening gown, and I have come in pajamas on a snow day. There is no dress code or expectation for how you should show up. This place is a gem on 13th and Pine. My boyfriend and I went for our first date and will return as often as we can in an attempt to leave a mark on this amazing bar in the way it has made a mark on us.

Cool vibes, non pretentious beer. Such a great neighborhood dive bar. Great personality in a place where it seems all the places are trying to attract influencers...this place is authentic Philly. Service is friendly but not sugary/placating. Just kind and fun, just like the folks who patronize the place (I love a bar that has regulars)
