Bachelor Party in Philly

May 27, 2008 5:06 PM

What are some Bachelor Party options for Philadelphia on a Friday night? "Adult Entertainment" is probably out (Atlantic City for the next night). We're looking for fun places that a group of 8 guys in mid 20s would enjoy (early 20s places are always an option). Bars, BYOBs for dinner, cheesy dance clubs. Probably looking for places where the dude ratio is relatively low. Staying in center city.

Dude ratio was extremely high, but my bachelor party was deemed "The All-American." It was:

* Major-league baseball game (with all the accoutrements -- dogs, beers, etc)
* Steaks
* Scotch
* Cigars
* Poker

Loved it, loved it, loved it. Best bachelor party ever, because it was 100 percent fun and 0 percent stupid "is he really hitting on the stripper? is he really puking in the bushes outside?" stupid shenanigans.

we saved the strippers for another night ... shhh, don't tell the wife!

Don't know what your budget is, but I would think that Fogo de Chao would be fun for dinner. (It's a bit pricey, though.) Brazilian steakhouse. Meat meat meat, until you say when.

As much as it's totally not my scene, Continental Midtown does do the lounge/club vibe really well. And the roof deck is pretty sweet. Personally, I'd pick this end of town over the Old City thing.

You could catch a baseball game -- the park is beautiful, and there's plenty of good food there. Take the Broad Street Line there and back -- no driving needed.
