Royal Tavern
American
A Citywide Special and a burger, treated with the focus of a fine-dining kitchen, is Royal Tavern's whole argument. This Bella Vista bar has been doing burgers, cherry BBQ wings, house-made mortadella, and grilled cheese in a narrow, glowing room on Passyunk for as long as anyone can remember. The kind of place where you go in for one drink and linger over two courses you didn't plan on ordering.
