El Rey
El Rey is a lovely Mexican restaurant in center city with delicious food and drinks all day long, and an awesome happy hour from 5-6:30 pm on Monday-Friday. Quesadillas, churros, tacos, enchiladas, chips and salsa and more can be found at El Rey, which achieves their goal of ‘capturing the essence of Mexican home cooking.’ Their happy hour lives up to the rest of their reputation with $1 tacos with steak, chicken, fish, cheese and vegetable options. $2 cans of Tecate, $3 Coronas, Yuenglings, and $4 margaritas are sure to leave you feeling satisfied.

The Citywide
The Citywide Special is a staple when it comes to a night out on a budget in Philadelphia. You get a PBR 16 oz can and a shot of whiskey for only $3. There’s no exact origin for the deal, but it’s accepted that Bob & Barbara’s bar on South Street were either the founders or one of the first pioneers! It became so popular in a few bars in South Philly that bars and restaurants all over the city have started offering the Citywide Special as well, with some minor changes, like the version at Dos Segundos where they sub out the PBR for a Tecate and the whiskey for Sauza tequila. If you live in Philadelphia and haven’t had a Citywide before, make sure to head to your neighborhood dive bar to find yourself one!
