Philly's Sports Bar & Grill

Picture this: You’re parked in front of a ginormous HDTV watching football, when, suddenly, as if from the ether, a hottie appears with a Philly cheesesteak and a frosty pint of Modelo Especial. Finished wiping the drool off your keyboard? You’re probably thinking that no such magical Shangri-La actually exists but it does, and it’s located on Scottsdale Road, just south of McKellips in Tempe. Philly’s has a lot going for it. In addition to its namesake sammies, it offers great happy hour specials ($2.50 domestic drafts and bottles; $3 wells, wines and margaritas), daily drink deals ($2 Miller High Life bottles, $2.50 Modelo drafts) and a mammoth wrap-around patio with an outdoor bar, fire pit, and plenty of seating to accommodate groups of any size. Inside, there’s a bar area lined with TVs and even a full-service dining room, making Philly’s the sort of sports joint a reasonably-smooth man could feasibly bring a date to.
