Locust Bar/Club

Locust Bar/Club is a casual bar and nightlife venue at the corner of 10th and Locust streets in Philadelphia. The setting combines a full food menu with a drinks program, making it suitable for an evening that starts with a meal, continues over drinks, or centers on entertainment.

The food leans toward familiar American bar fare, with chicken wings as a central feature. Wings are available with a range of sauces, from mild and barbecue styles to Cajun and hotter choices, and are served with celery and a choice of dipping dressing. The menu also covers cheesesteaks, chicken cheesesteaks, hoagies, sandwiches, burgers, wraps, ribs and fried snacks.

Smaller plates include nachos, mozzarella sticks, fried ravioli, potato skins, onion rings, fried mushrooms, calamari and jalapeño poppers. Soups, chili and several fry options round out the menu, while vegetarian choices include a veggie burger and vegetarian chili. The broad selection suits diners looking for filling, informal food rather than a formal restaurant experience.

The bar serves beer, wine, spirits and mixed-drink staples, with options including vodka, bourbon, whiskey, gin, tequila, rum and scotch. A takeaway refrigerator also carries packaged beer, individual pints and hard seltzers. Drink availability can vary, so the bar's range is best understood as a broad pub-style selection rather than a fixed tasting menu.

Regular entertainment gives Locust Bar/Club a social, activity-led character. Karaoke takes place on Sundays from the evening, while Quizzo, a team-based trivia format, is scheduled for Tuesdays. Those events make the venue a natural fit for friends seeking casual food, drinks and group entertainment. The bar-and-club format is better suited to social evenings and nightlife than to quiet dining, while the substantial menu gives groups plenty of familiar choices.
