I had the nicest July 3rd there this year! We went for the fireworks and we planned on just having drinks because I heard the food was poor... well I must say I want to clear the air on that! We had apps, salad, and entree and it was so good that I'd go back and bring a friend! It was super busy and we weren't bothered to move or rushed for our seats. The waiter was so nice, even though I know he was overwhelmed. I didn't know they had multiple dining decks, which I loved. They have great drink specials, and a mature polite crowd. I have to say for being an old boat the bathrooms and dining aria were nice, clean, and big! Try it out on a nice night to enjoy the sunset!

The block of Sansom Street between 15th and 16th is colorful. You have Roy's at one end with the bright purple awnings; the Nodding Head bobble head sign a few store fronts down; and then you get to Oscar's Tavern, right in the middle, with the bright red door and neon signs. This neighborhood dive bar holds its own next to the snooty Sansom Street Oyster House, serving up cheap beer, delicious bar food, and a crowd as colorful as the street. Oscar's is dark and dirty and smelly. The Phillies game was on and the bar was lined with fans. Not the obnoxious fans who hang out at chain sports bars. These were hard core fans who didn't talk during the whole game and held their breaths until the last strike was thrown. Then came the claps and some cheers and the conversation could start. The beer selection is nonexistent, but that's not really why anyone goes to Oscar's. You go to Oscar's to drink at least one 23-ounce draft for $3.25. Oscar's patrons do not like change, made obvious by the fact that my friends almost cried when they discovered that Miller Light had been replaced by Bud Light for the 23-ounce option. Also on tap were Michelob, lager (Yuengling) and PBR. The highlight, at least for me, is always the Oscar's cheese fries. Nothing compares. I have weened myself off of cheese fries from anywhere else because I am always disappointed and end up comparing them to Oscar's. Give me two drafts and an order of cheese fries and I am happy for three hours. For a grand total of $9 before tip. Heaven! Golden and delicious. Hot, salty, crispy, chewy, light, dense. Oxy moronic fries. These are the only fries I could eat by themselves. You know you've come across some great fries when you have a 2-minute serious discussion on whether the cheese is real Whiz or just squirt cheese. Verdict: it's real Whiz.

You have alot of room to dance, damn near every song they play is the jam (you know, where everyone goes, "aww shit, this is the jam!"), you can actually hear your friends, and! (pause for effect) there's an actual working japanese hot tub by the dance floor. Yes, girls will jump into it. Yes, they will dance in the water. And yes, it's awesome. I'm not done! The place is beautiful, perfect for wandering around with drunken abandon, from the classy looking bar to the stone-floored "greenhouse" (finally you can have a smoke "outside" in the middle of winter), to one of the many couches or fireplace nooks, or up the metal staircase past the wicked couture giant lantern chandelier to the dancefloor, where all tha womens are shakin' their tailfeathers. And no cover. Seriously? I'm a fan.
