Coley’s Lounge

In more recent years, I’ve grown to like the off the grid feel and gotten to know the bartenders (Franni and Karen most especially). While like I said the takeout for 40’s is like $ 5 a piece and a 6 pack is like $ 12−15…staying a bit and having drinks is a different story,
A bucket of nips is only $ 8, but, they will do different beers at times for about $ 15 – 20 when it would normally be like $ 30 if you were buying them individually. Well drinks are $ 3 for a very good size single and $ 6 for a double that is also more than enough. No dinky rip-​offs here. The only thing they don’t have is Long Islands… It’s not they don’t have ingredients, but, you will be charged for all of them making it cost like $ 14. The owner hasn’t gotten around to buying the premade stuff and I’m not sure she ever will.
This doesn’t change my review, but, I thought it was amusing. One night recently I went in to get 40’s to take over a friend’s house. I do look young still despite approaching my mid-20’s so I was carded by a newer bartender; a brunette no older than 25. Not only did she not know there was both horizontal and vertical cards to designate 21+ and under 21, but, she was like,“Wait.you’re 21 right?” after looking at my birth-​date. Have been for a couple years, honey… XD She must get ready for her head to roll after her shifts over the till if she can’t even do basic math,

One of the great, unsung, authentic, South Philly corner bars.
