How late are they open tonight? Triangle is lively but POPE has better fries!

Pope is pretty fucking lively too!

Bartenders mentioned being here for the “long haul”, so I suspect weekend hours

Came here to say POPE when I saw “good fries” being a requirement. If I lived closer I’d be there every weekend.

Oh my god I miss POPE.

I mean, I live nearby.

But I'm a married dad with a toddler now, and my nights at POPE were all spent with my friend after she and I had recently broken up with our SOs and just wanted to drink dark beer and eat great burgers and fries, then go down to Watkins and shoot pool upstairs while getting stupid drunk.

Methinks the problem lies with you. I miss the Pope so much. West Philly has slim pickings. Local 44 isn't punk enough. Used to be able to see weird shows at Connie's Ric-rac and scoot down to Pope afterwards.

Some of my favorite nights, in this city! Now, if I go out to a show, I can't wait to go home to bed lol

Yeah, i mean, maybe the vibe has changed in 5 years--its possible. Excellent jukebox, there. It is, indeed, loud
