Great local spot. Bartender was super friendly, could tell we hadn't been before so introduced us and taught us about the history of the bar (3rd generation woman owned!). Affordable drinks, cash only. Will be back!

We just moved to the neighborhood from Atlanta and we are so happy we found this little gem! Amazing service, fantastic selection of beers and Jim is so nice, welcoming and so friendly! They just celebrated their 100th birthday and we can't wait to celebrate many more birthdays at this bar!

A perfect no frills bar to watch football!$3 coors or yuenglings and two big TVs at the bar as well as comfy bar stools.And no need to worry about obnoxiously loud music, so a great place to have a conversation and a drink.We're definitely coming back to this neighborhood gem soon!

Super throwback in time. Cheap, divey, place that is unpretentious and filled with friendly people and staff. Large back room only used 6 times a year on Fridays during lent to serve meals. Inexpensive drinks can be accompanied by slim sims, girl scout cookies and peanut butter and cheese crackers!

Krupa's Tavern has curtains in the window. That should be a clue this is a the epitome of a local bar. Curtains: Dive bars don't have curtains - this is a respectable place. It has the coziness of a living room. No food (except pretzels, snacks & hot dogs on special occasions), but also is no-smoking (step outside). Reasonably priced, three solid drafts, decent bottle list, nothing fancy.Along with owner Elaine, Joe has been tending bar here since 1983 - and could well be wearing a priest's collar given all he's heard. After almost 35 years, Joe could be a contender for the Philly Bartender Hall of Fame. This is not the kind of place where you get out of line, everyone chills and enjoy their shot & beer.A nice place to stop in, it serves the barren spot in Fairmount smack-dab between Poplar & Brown... Save yourself a few blocks of walking, especially on a hot or cold day - it's a nice destination.

This place is run by Elaine and her sister, Joan. They are the coolest, funniest old ladies you'll ever encounter. There are a few others, Jim, a retired, older gentleman who is also cool, and two younger employees whose names Idk. They all make it a point to remember the names of the locals and our drinks, something that is definitely lost among major chains. Elaine will even order a new type of beer for her regulars by request. Love this place! She is a die hard eagles fan and cooks when the birds play. I'm a jersey girl at heart , but I have to admit we are definitely missing out not having a place like this back home.

Krupa's is a friendly neighborhood bar in Fairmount, especially for watching Eagles games. The prices for drinks are very reasonable. The selection of bottled and on tap beer is great. This is the kind of place where everyone knows your name.

Not a bad place if you're looking for a potentially quiet night (all depends on what the Football & Baseball schedule is like). The prices are good too... and it's one of the few places that I've found that sells beer to go.Ok, I admit I gave them an extra star because I live a half block away.
