"On any given night, you’ll find that Bob & Barbara’s is absolutely packed. That’s for a few reasons. For one, it’s a classic. It’s been around since South Street’s prime, and it’s the birthplace of the Citywide. Plenty of other spots serve the famous four-dollar citywide combo of a shot and a beer, but this place invented it in the ’90s. They also have pierogies to pair with your classic drink and live music every weekend. They’ll keep everyone dancing until the bar closes at 2am —and cheering at events like drag shows and trivia on weeknights." - candis mclean, alison kessler
