Seriously. I don't have the physical endurance to handle keeping a table going for that long on a worknight.

I’d argue the same for tailgating at the Linc. I’m a big Eagles fan but no shot I’m drinking for 5/6 hours before the game, 1/2 maybe but anymore than that is just plain boring.
i-void-warranties t1_j8a4wbv wrote
Tailgating for 6 hours is a marathon not a sprint. Gotta stick with the Miller Lites or something similar. If you start hitting the hard stuff it goes downhill real quick.
redfern54 t1_j89xszb wrote
At least there you can throw a ball around/ make your own food / bring your own beer. But I’ve done like 2 all day tailgated in my life ha

They have capacity limits and people are going to stay the whole game. People are going to be out of luck if they don’t get to a place real early.
Get in early or watch from outside.
ThisHatRightHere t1_j89n52j wrote
But there are plenty of bars that offer reserved seating for groups. Like I’m sure most of the people in this line could’ve had a much easier time if they had any type of foresight.
SupaflyIRL t1_j89nbuu wrote
The people who make reservations for groups and the people who stand in line in the morning to get into a place are a Venn diagram with no cleavage.
ThisHatRightHere t1_j89pbtj wrote
Very fair. Just seems surprising to have people that think enough ahead to be out there first thing in the morning to wait in line but not reserve a spot somewhere.
Then again I’m sure this is mostly college kids and my brain definitely didn’t think these things out too clearly back then either.
SupaflyIRL t1_j89pssq wrote
It’s more norm than exception to have even a full group of like 20 full grown professional adults at prime time not bother to call ahead for even a random night out and just show up.
“Oh it’s not an event it’s just Jeff’s birthday! Anyway there are 20 of us and we’re gonna complain all night about how you’re having trouble accommodating this surprise (to you not Jeff, we’ve all known for weeks)!”

My high school graduation let out at like 10pm? It was a wednesday.
That IHOP went from dead to "Fire marshall's maximum stated capacity" in fifteen minutes.
At least two people quit instantly. The shift manager was cooking and coming out every five minutes to apologize.
We would have left but we were with people. :\

I used to be a waitress at a sports bar and you’re right, it’s absolutely awful. You’d think you’d make a ton of money but people sit for HOURS drinking whatever $2 beer is on special and their tab is maybe $150 by the end of it. Brutal.
thehoagieboy t1_j8a1207 wrote
There are probably not $2 beers at Victory. There's the added bonus of an IPA or two that probably have upward of 7% ABV and it's gonna be along vomit filled, falling down, drunken night. Ahh to be young and stupid again.

I'm new to Philly, so am I missing something? I like their beers, but is there a tradition about specifically drinking Victory during important sporting events?

yourfriendkyle t1_j8a7675 wrote
No. In fact, most people don’t give a shit about Victory brewing
darwinpolice t1_j8anei1 wrote
It seems like an awful place for this kind of event, too. Don't get me wrong, I really like Victory and that location is a perfectly nice place to drink, but Victory doesn't make a lot of beers that you can drink all day without getting absolutely shitfaced. If you're showing up at a bar at 11 in the morning and planning on being there till later in the evening, you want Miller, not Hop Devil.

I was more of a nights and weekends gal, this one was far less crowded than the one on south street so we’d always go here. I had friends that lived in the building to the left (it was Oakwood at the time) so I spent way too many late nights here before stumbling home to my apartment up near the art museum.
