The Bards

...for a REAL taste of Ireland! Located just off Rittenhouse Square, The Bards proudly pours Philadelphia's best pint of Guinness.

We're also your home-away-from-home for all international soccer matches, English Premier League, MLB, NHL, and NBA games. Come by for a pint or two, some fine Irish whiskey, authentic fare, and the hospitality that made the Emerald Isle famous. Check out our "Menus" for weekly specials, Happy Hour info, and our ridiculously fun lunch deal (psst: it's unlimited $3 craft drafts with the purchase of any sandwich or entree!)

7/8/2020
The Bards lease expires this month and while we had intended to extend it and continue trading, recent events have made that option untenable. The health and safety of our loyal customers and staff must be our main concern.

However the restrictions imposed by the virus make it impossible for small bars such as The Bards to adhere to the social distancing and other rules and still trade without making substantial losses.

So it is with much sadness that we announce that The Bards will not re-open again and that our 26 happy years in Philadelphia have now finally come to an end. Its been a great long run – and we will always be grateful to the people of Philadelphia for making us part of this great city for so long.

We wish to thank all those who contributed to the success of The Bards over all these years - customers and staff alike. We particularly want to thank Michael who has stayed the course with us through good times and bad throughout all these years.
We hope for better, virus free times ahead – times of peace and joy for all.
