Fiume

A signless room above the Ethiopian restaurant Abyssinia, Fiume has gained a reputation for its Citywide Specials--both the $3 PBR and whiskey combo and their Thursday night bluegrass band. The popularity of the music nights--Sunday and Wednesday also feature bands--make it nearly impossible to find a spot even to stand in, so go on an off night. While in any other bar this would be intolerable, such tight quarters have just the opposite effect here, creating one of the friendliest bars around. The pure West Philly crowd means you can come in alone, start off talking to a grad student about neuroscience and end the night in a sing-along with your new crust-punk friends.
