Where to Watch the Philadelphia 76ers Playoffs

Not able to score playoff tix? Philly’s top sports bars are sure to be bumping for each and every game.

Here are a few other spots to catch the game with fellow hoop heads:

  • Buffalo Billiards: While this Old City sports bar and billiards hall is a popular gathering spot for college football and NFL fans, the atmosphere has proven to be just as electric during the Sixers playoffs. Work out some of that nervous pregame energy by shooting pool, throwing darts or hopping on one of two regulation shuffleboards (118 Chestnut Street).
  • Chickie’s and Pete’s: Chickie’s & Pete’s super-sized South Philly location — a short walk from the Wells Fargo Center — boasts three bars, a 14-foot television and the venue’s signature Crabfries®. Not near South Philly? No worries: You can also score those crave-worthy fries at a number of other Chickie’s & Pete’s locations throughout Greater Philadelphia, including in Malvern, Upper Darby and Warrington (multiple locations including 1526 Packer Avenue).
  • Founding Fathers Sports Bar & Grill: There isn’t a bad seat in the house at South Street’s Founding Fathers Sports Bar & Grill, thanks to the 13 TVs lining the walls. An expansive list of craft beers and a menu full of sandwiches, wings and pizza add to the game day atmosphere (1612 South Street).
  • 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 Sixers’ playoff games with tuned-in fans glued to the action on 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 (Garage Passyunk, 1231 East Passyunk Avenue; Garage Fishtown, 100 East Girard Avenue).
  • Odd Logic Brewing Company: Listen up: The game sound is on for every playoff game as the on-court action streams across all eight TVs (including a pair of massive 70-inchers) at this taproom in Bristol. Bonus: Enjoy $2 off everything during the games (500 Bristol Pike, Bristol).
  • Off The Rail: This sports staple in Media serves up $3 cans during every Sixers game. Show up early for the weekday matchups to cash in on happy hour specials (including $3 domestic beers and $6 wine pours) from 4 to 6 p.m. After 6 p.m., new daily specials kick in until close (109 West State Street, Media).
  • Wicked Wolf: Sports pub meets party club at this trendy spot in Center City. Catch the action on an enormous 12-foot by 4-foot centerpiece LED screen, or one of the other 28 TVs spread over three floors (1214 Chestnut Street).
