Trendy Pennsylvania Bar Named a Must-See by Esquire

Going to a cool Pennsylvania bar is a trend that will never go away. The best bars in America have an inviting feeling, and whether they're upscale or totally downhome, you just want to go there and chill. If you travel around America, you'll find a ton of awesome, locally-owned bars with their own native flavor. Now, the experts at Esquire magazine have researched bars throughout the U.S. to determine the best bars in America. If you're looking to get your drink on, one trendy Pennsylvania bar made this special list.

Esquire magazine has scoured the country to find the best bars in America. They're also celebrating bar culture along the way. "Bars have always been that third place, the spot where you hang outside work and home," they explain. "But as we've discovered crisscrossing the country over the past twelve months to visit the new bars, they're doing that in more nuanced and varied ways than they have in a long time." As for bar trends, they note that a lot of bars are pretty complex these days. For example, plenty of bars have a nightclub component, so you can decide to chill in the bar portion of the venue or go to the hot, dance-filled area. Whether you're at a top-notch nightclub-type bar or a hole-in-the-wall place, Esquire has made sure to pick bars that make their clients and customers feel welcome. Because, really, going to a bar isn't just about the drinking. Having a night at the bar is about talking to people, making new friends and having a good time with the local community. I enjoy going to the bar for the social aspect. I enjoy seeing friends and making new ones in that kind of fun environment.

So, which Pennsylvania bar made the cut for the best bars in America according to the experts at Esquire? It's the very cool and trendy Poison Heart in Philadelphia. Now, I know "trendy" can be seen as a negative thing, but I mean it in the best way here. Poison Heart has a really cool punk and rock 'n' roll vibe, and being the rock girl that I am, I love it. Of the spot, Esquire notes, "You can have fancy things like oysters and a freezer martini and a well-rounded wine list...and a knowledgeable staff, but you can also have waffle fries and a patty melt and popcorn and a vibe that has you wishing you’d worn your black leather jacket." I'm happy to see this Pennsylvania bar get some national love from the experts at Esquire magazine.
