Tattooed Mom

Tattooed Mom has long been one of Philly’s favorite dive bars, from the iconic Strange Girls and Snake Boys mural outside to the sticker-plastered bumper car inside. Aside from the ambiance, you’ll also find vegan bar food, great people, bottles, and pop rocket cocktails. Keep tabs on Instagram to spot food specials and other events, plus an extra chance to marvel at all the bric-a-brac that makes up the ultra-eclectic, multi-story bar.

Kitschy, eclectic, and colorful, Tattooed Mom is a good-vibes-only South Street staple where many a Philly love story (or like, or lust) has begun. Fun cocktails like the pop rocket make for a decent ice breaker, as do the bar’s sticker-covered walls, pool table, and bumper car.
