Delaware County, PA.
Named for the Delaware River

The crown. The mark of royalty. This symbol denotes a tavern with an overall excellence that exceeds the norm. |
|
|
The foamy mug marks a specific feature that is noteworthy. |
|
|
Normally when a bar goes out of business the location will never again house a tavern. Often the liquor license is sold to a distant entity. The phoenix marks pubs that have defied the odds and reopened after having been silenced. |
|
|
Not every pub that says its Irish is Irish but the ones that are and the ones that have great St Patrick's Day events will be identified with this brand. |
|
|
The screw. The sign of gross injustice or disservice. AmericanTom believes that people go to their local watering hole to escape their day to day grind and troubles. In a way, servers and barkeeps are like actors - orchestrating a great play whose cast are their customers. Some of the things that can generate a screw are: great disparity between how regulars and visitors are treated, rudeness or utter incompetence. |
|
|
Most businesses have a neutral attitude toward motorcyclists. The HD logo marks taverns that openly welcome those who arrive on scooters. |
|
|
Inflation sucks. It sucks away your buying power. If you can still buy a beer for one dollar - you will see this sign. |
|
|
Seafood is a class of food all by itself. Clams have little competition - few foods are better when done well and few foods can cause more problems when improperly served. See the clam next to a bar's name and it shows where tasty clams have been enjoyed! |

|
I like Reading, PA. In spite of being Pennsylvania's most dangerous city there are a lot of cool things to do here. One of the best is that "our" beer is back. You can have your big, national (and often foreign-owned) brands. I am happy that Old Gus has come home! Taverns serving this delicious brew will have this icon. |

Have a cold one on the deck! |
CHRISTY'S TAVERN
169 East Ridge Rd Marcus Hook (Linwood)
PA 19061 610-494-1437
[12-2006] Christy's is the first bar I have ever been to in Marcus Hook. It was his Customer Appreciation party and the proprietor was in good spirits.
Festive decorations were everywhere including a 4' tall dancing Santa. Christy's gets a frosty mug icon for having an old fashioned piss trough - a rarity in our modern and overly civilized world.
Thanks for the free grub Christy!
RICK'S TAVERN
4002 West 9th Street Marcus Hook, PA 19061
610-497-1338
[12-2006] My first thought was that Rick's was a strip bar with the palm tree and hula girl on the sign. If it was, I didn't see any during my almost-Christmas visit.
A large pull-down movie screen hangs behind the stage - ready for projection TV football games.
