Amber Inn
Doylestown's late shift, pouring on Shewell Avenue until 2 a.m. seven nights a week. When Main Street flips its chairs, this is where the night ends up.
Bar Avalon Bryn Mawr
The Main Line half of a two-town Italian pair, dinner only, with handmade pasta and shareable plates out of the kitchen and happy hour at the bar Tuesday through Friday from 4.
Chambers 19 Bistro & Bar
Holding down Main Street since 1987, with a kitchen that keeps taking orders until 10 on weeknights and 11 on weekends. The Other Side, the bar next door, runs live music every weekend.
Char & Stave
Coffee in the morning and cocktails at night, from the crew behind Bluebird Distilling in Phoenixville. They roast their own beans and run a two day cold brew, and the bar list includes an Ardmore Old Fashioned.
Cork Tavern
A small neighborhood bar on Mt Carmel Avenue with no website of its own. Reviewers through mid-2026 mention piano nights and food service, after a stretch when the kitchen sat closed.
The Fenix Bar & Lounge
Bridge Street's late-shift bar and lounge, spelled like the town means it. Where the night relocates after dinner.
Flanigan's Boathouse
A three-story American bar and grill on Fayette Street, a short walk from the train station. Wings, burgers, and a long bar make it a Conshohocken game-day standby.
Flip & Bailey's
Two-story neighborhood bar in Garrett Hill with a full bar on each floor and rotating drafts. Pool, shuffleboard, darts, Pac-Man and Golden Tee if you want something to do between rounds.
The Glenside Pub
A downtown Glenside barroom with 14 taps, nine big-screen TVs and homemade soups on the daily specials board. Doors open at 4pm, and it sits a mile from Arcadia and 1.3 from the Keswick Theatre.
The Great American Pub
A Fayette Street pub in the middle of the strip, with a long bar and a kitchen backing it up. The kind of corner where a weeknight beer turns into dinner and two more.
The Grog Grill
A pub on West Lancaster Avenue where the kitchen runs burgers, shepherd's pie, poutine and cheesesteaks until 9:30pm and the bar keeps going to 2am Thursday through Saturday.
Gullifty's
A Lancaster Avenue bar and grill going since 1975, known for hand-tossed pizza, burgers and wings, with the soups, sauces, dressings, desserts and even the ice cream made in house.
Guppy's Good Times
A Maple Street pub with a long menu that swings from bar food to sushi rolls. Big enough for a birthday crowd, loose enough for a beer after work.
Gypsy Saloon
A West Conshohocken standby on Ford Street where a serious kitchen shares the room with a bar that keeps late hours. Come for a cocktail, stay for dinner, and expect to see half the neighborhood doing the same.
The Highland Pub & Kitchen
Glenside's American pub and kitchen, run by the K to Z Collective. Weekend brunch goes 10 to 3, happy hour runs weekdays 4 to 6, and eight TVs carry the game with the sound on.
The Horse Tavern & Grille
A bar and grill on Old Bethlehem Pike in Sellersville, open to 2 a.m. every night of the week by Google's listing. Sunday keeps the same last call as Saturday, which is rarer out here than you'd expect.
Izzy’s Cocktail Bar
Twenty-four seats, no reservations, and a handwritten menu of handrolls and bao buns behind the cocktails. Biff Gottehrer runs the kitchen, and the back bar leans Japanese whiskey, shochu and sake.
Jerzee's Sports Bar & Pizzaria
Sports bar and pizzeria that opened in 2007, with a takeout bottle shop added in 2015 stocking over 200 beers and a heated patio since 2022. Open 365 days a year, kitchen running late.
Kelly's Taproom
A Villanova-crowd pub on the site of the old Ivy Inn, run since 2002 by a group of alumni, with a taxidermied Maine moose watching the room since the 2005 reopening and happy hour weekdays from 4.
McCloskey's Tavern
An Irish pub that has been on Cricket Avenue since 1934, which by its own count makes it the oldest on the Main Line. Rotating craft taps, burgers and wings, and a kitchen that runs an hour later Thursday through Saturday.
McSorley's Ale House
A Haverford Road sports bar with 16 taps and better than 30 beers in total, plus dart boards, pool tables and TVs on every game. Family run, and loud once the college crowd arrives.
The Other Side
The North Main bar for the night's second act. No tasting notes, no pretense, and that's the appeal.
Pepperoncini Restaurant & Bar
Italian plates and a full bar on Poplar Street, just off the Fayette Street stretch. Red-sauce comfort with a cocktail list, built for a long table and a slow dinner.
Puck Live by Great Barn
Live music room on Printers Alley, rebooted by the Great Barn crew, with a bar that keeps pace. Doylestown's stage when the theaters go dark.
Ripplewood Whiskey & Craft
A whiskey bar on Lancaster Avenue with a kitchen under chef and co-owner Biff Gottehrer. The Inquirer gave it three bells and singled out the double-patty burger. Happy hour runs 3 to 5 every day it opens.
Rusty Nail Tavern / Nightclub
A live music room on Haverford Road that has been booking bands for more than 70 years. Thursday is the open jam, Friday and Saturday go to local original acts, and the calendar is posted months ahead.
Sam's Brick Oven Pizza
Family-run brick oven pizzeria at County Line Road, with a full bar, an Italian menu that runs well past the pizza, and a second-floor hall for parties. Open until 2am seven nights.
Southern Cross Kitchen
Southern comfort cooking and a full bar on East 1st Avenue. One of Conshohocken's busier tables, good for a group dinner or a seat at the bar.
Tired Hands Fermentaria Tap Room
Tired Hands' production brewery since 2015, 13,000 square feet with a tap room and a General Store attached. This is where Hop Hands comes from, and where the Milkshake IPA got invented alongside Sweden's Omnipollo.
Twisted Gingers Industrial Lounge
Industrial-styled lounge at the Ridge Avenue end of town, pouring beside the food-hall crowd. Exposed brick, easy rounds.
