"El Bar has a sign outside that reads, “Sometimes A Citywide Is Dinner.” And it’s easy to disappear into the friendly Fishtown spot for hours and take your meals for the day in liquid form (they’ve ditched the hot dogs). The dimly lit, cash only place has a few $6 options—including PBR and bourbon and Tectate with tequila.
