Few things are more exciting than watching the Philadelphia Eagles play a home game at Lincoln Financial Field. With so much energy surrounding each game, you’ll probably want to do something before and after the event. You might as well have a good time while your spirits are high. The next time you’re lucky enough to catch the Eagles in Philadelphia, enjoy these three things to do before and after the game.
Have a Great Meal Near Lincoln Financial Field
Getting a meal before or after your next Eagles game will spare you the expense of eating inside the stadium. Luckily, you’ll find several good restaurants within walking distance. Some favorites include Philadium Tavern, Tony Luke’s, and Chickie’s & Pete’s.
Philadium Tavern serves one of Philadelphia’s best cheesesteaks. You can also enjoy wings, hoagies, and other pub fare. At Tony Luke’s, you’ll find several versions of cheesesteak in addition to the traditional sandwich. For example, you can get a chicken cheesesteak. The roast pork sandwich also stands out as one of the best items on the menu.
Chickie’s & Pete’s gets excellent reviews from practically everyone who visits. The sports bar even won an award from ESPN Mobile. If you eat here, you have to try the crab fries. They’re unlike anything you’ve ever tasted.
Go Out for a Drink
Grabbing a few beers after an Eagles game is a Philadelphia tradition. If you’re not ready to head home as soon as the Eagles win, get a drink at Tavern on Broad, South Philadelphia Tap Room, or McFadden’s Ballpark. Each bar has game-day specials to keep prices low. They also have several televisions so you can watch the post-game show.
If you love having access to a large variety of beers, then you’ll want to spend a few hours at South Philadelphia Tap Room. The owners rotate taps often, and in addition, the bar offers more than 100 international beers.
All three of these bars sell food, so you can get a bite to soak up any excess alcohol.
Visit Center City
While there are some good bars and restaurants near Lincoln Financial Field, you can find a greater concentration of them in nearby Center City. You can find retail stores, museums, and cultural activities there, too. Use the Visit Philadelphia site to find fun things to do before or after your next Eagles game.
Catching a cab to Center City is an especially good idea if you don’t visit the downtown area often. You’re already near the neighborhood, so you might as well pop in to enjoy some of your favorite attractions.
An Eagles game can get your blood pumping! It will take some time for the adrenaline to wear off. While you’re in a great mood, go out on the town and visit places that you rarely see. Whether you like eating local foods, drinking beers, or just people watching, you will find some great things to do before and after an Eagles game.
