I can see we go to the same bars haha, I haven’t heard of Bonners or Giovanni’s but they both look great. Thank you!

Bonners is one of Philly's remaining S-tier dives. Stick to fried food, though.

Gio’s is great - nice back bar. Slices aren’t anything out of this world but it’s nice to be able to just grab a slice and a drink. Also they have pretty decent Mediterranean food so you can healthy it up which can be a rarity in a divier bar

i hope i’m not the only one who can’t stand the new Cavs location. just so different than the little hole in the wall it used to be

The new location sucks. It’s like they barely even finished the empty space and just stuck in the bar. No character at all, feels like it could be in a strip mall.

New location definitely sucks but I still go there anyway. It’s good for a working lunch bc of the number of outlets plus Wi-Fi
