It’s special: Philly-style dive bar in London a hit with Eagles fans from US and UK

In London, a Philadelphia-style dive bar named after a well-known south Philadelphia street has become a popular destination for both British sports fans and traveling Eagles supporters. The bar, which opened in 2018, features Eagles, Phillies, Flyers, and 76ers paraphernalia, as well as cheesesteaks and episodes of "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" on the TVs.

The bar's owner, J.P. Teti, grew up in New Jersey but has strong connections to Philadelphia, and he aimed to create a culturally immersive experience where visitors feel like they are in Philadelphia. The bar's Wi-Fi password includes "Foles," a tribute to Nick Foles, the backup quarterback who led the Eagles to victory in the 2017 Super Bowl against the Patriots.

The bar's atmosphere, featuring Eagles memorabilia, cheesesteaks, and pop culture references, attracts fans from both the UK and the US.
