Philly’s first Dry January bar crawl is taking over Fishtown and Northern Liberties

Philly's Dry January Bar Crawl Spreads Across Fishtown and Northern Liberties

For the first time ever, residents of Fishtown and Northern Liberties are coming together to embark on a self-guided bar crawl that will take place over two days in early January. The event promises an exciting experience for those looking to stay sober during the month-long Dry January challenge.

Over 25 bars, breweries, and restaurants have signed up to participate, offering zero-proof cocktails, mocktails, and nonalcoholic drinks at discounted prices ranging from $6 to $10. These participating venues will feature a mix of food specials, casual social events, and staggering hours throughout the day to accommodate different schedules.

Some notable spots on the crawl include neighborhood staples like Standard Tap, Johnny Brenda's, Frankford Hall, and Jerry's Bar, as well as popular breweries such as Yards Brewing Co., Evil Genius Beer Co., and Brewery ARS. Newer establishments like Amina and Mamajuana Cafe Philly are also joining in on the fun.

This event is an excellent opportunity for Philadelphians to explore their city's growing nonalcoholic drink scene while still being able to participate in Dry January without missing out on the local bar culture.
 
this sound like a great idea! i think its awesome that ppl are coming together 2 support each other during dry january 🤗, esp since Philly has such a lively nightlife scene. low-key hoping there'll b some good grub deals too lol 🍴👌
 
so dry january is a thing now? i'm not sure how effective it'll be, people are always going to find ways to sneak in a beer or two... 🤔 anyway, it's cool that philly bars and breweries are getting on board with the idea of zero-proof drinks. standard tap and johnny brenda's are always fun spots, but i'm curious to try out some of these newer places like amina and mamajuana cafe philly. does anyone have any info on what kind of mocktails they'll be offering? $6-$10 for nonalcoholic drinks is pretty reasonable, but what's the deal with the discounted prices? are they just trying to attract dry january participants or something? 🤑
 
OMG u guys 2025 is already lookin good! 🤩 I'm so down for this Dry Jan bar crawl thingy, sounds like a blast! Fishtown and Northern Liberties are gettin all together and makin it happen, that's what I love about Philly! 🌈 All these bars and breweries comin through with zero-proof cocktails and mocktails, I'm low-key excited to try them out. And the prices? 💸 6 to 10 bucks is a steal for a drink (or two... or three). It's like, no pressure to get smashed on New Year's Eve, you know what I mean? 😂 Plus, it's gonna be so much fun exploring all these spots and trying new drinks. I'm def joinin in on this, who's with me?! 🎉
 
OMG, I'm so down for this! 🤩 A whole bar crawl just for non-alcoholic drinks? That's a game-changer for me when it comes to Dry January. Fishtown and Northern Liberties are going to be lit with all these participating spots! I mean, Standard Tap and Johnny Brenda's are already on my list - love those places. And the fact that they're offering zero-proof cocktails is a major win. It's so cool that they're supporting Dry January while still bringing people together for some good old-fashioned bar fun. I'm definitely going to check it out with my friends! 🎉
 
🍻 So, I think this is a super cool idea! It's awesome that people are getting together and celebrating sobriety in a fun way, especially with all these amazing bars and breweries participating. I mean, who doesn't love a good mocktail or zero-proof cocktail? 😊 And the fact that they're offering food specials too is just icing on the cake (or should I say, beer-free cake?) 🍰. The variety of places taking part is also really impressive - you've got everything from neighborhood staples to newer spots that are always worth checking out. Plus, it's great for Philadelphians who want to stay sober during Dry January but still be able to experience the city's nightlife. I think this event is going to be a huge hit and will definitely help raise awareness about nonalcoholic drinks in the city. 🎉
 
omg i love this idea 🤩! dry january can be so hard but with a whole day of bars offering zero-proof drinks its gonna be a blast 💃🏻🍹 like, standard tap is always a fave and now they're offering mocktails for like 6 bucks? win win 🎉 how cool is it that all these new places are jumping on the nonalcoholic drink scene too? i need to get my crew together and hit up this crawl ASAP 👯‍♀️🍻
 
Omg, this sounds like a total blast 🎉! I'm so down for a booze-free bar crawl, especially since Philly is already an amazing city with such great food and drinks. The fact that over 25 bars are participating is insane - it's going to be like one big party without the hangover 😂. And can you imagine trying all those zero-proof cocktails? Game. Changer.

I love how this event promotes self-care and Dry January, too. It's not just about cutting out booze for a month, but also about exploring new drinks and having fun with friends while doing it. I'm totally going to have to check some of these spots out... Amina and Mamajuana Cafe Philly are on my list now! 📚
 
I'm so down for this! 🤩 What do you think about bars offering zero-proof cocktails? Like, are they making up these drinks or something? I mean, I've had some decent mocktails at parties before but I've never tried a pre-made one from a bar... how's it taste?

Also, why only 25 spots? Can't we get more places involved? 🤔 Fishtown and Northern Liberties are so cool, there should be more bars in the area participating. Maybe some popular spots that aren't already doing non-alcoholic drinks?

I'm actually thinking of checking this out with friends... who's in? Do you think it'll be hard to keep up during a 2-day crawl? Should we make a plan to meet up at each spot?
 
I'm not sure I get why people need an excuse to go drinking... or in this case, mocktails 🤔. It feels like just another way for bars and breweries to make some extra cash during a slow period. And what's with all these zero-proof cocktails? Can't they just serve decent beer and wine instead of trying to be fancy about it?
 
I love events like this! It's a great way to stay hydrated and healthy during Dry January, but also have fun exploring new spots with friends 🍹👫. Philly has such an amazing bar scene, and it's awesome that they're promoting nonalcoholic drinks too. I mean, why not? You can still have just as much fun without the hangover 😂. Plus, supporting local breweries like Yards Brewing Co is a win-win for the community. Fishtown and Northern Liberties are gonna be lit during this bar crawl! 🎉

🤔 I think this Dry January Bar Crawl is a genius idea! People have been looking forward to socializing and having fun with friends during the new year, but staying sober can be tough. Now they get to do both! 🎉 It's awesome that so many bars and restaurants are participating to offer special deals and drinks. The variety of spots on the crawl is also a bonus - you'll find everything from classic neighborhood joints to trendy new places. I'm sure it's gonna be a blast! 💃 The fact that people can explore Philly's nonalcoholic drink scene while still taking part in Dry January is just the cherry on top. Who needs drinks when you have great food, awesome company, and no hangover worries? 😂
 
🍺 I'm so down for this idea! Staying sober during Dry January can be super tough, especially when everyone around you is having a good time drinking.

🍺 I think it's really cool that the bars and breweries are coming together to support a popular wellness trend like Dry January 🥳. The fact that they're offering zero-proof cocktails and mocktails at discounted prices is a great way for people to still enjoy their favorite hangout spots without the booze 💸. Plus, the variety of participating venues will give participants a chance to discover some new places and try out different drinks 🍹. I'm curious to see how this event turns out and if it sets a precedent for future bar crawls that focus on nonalcoholic options 🎉.
 
I don’t usually comment but... this Dry January Bar Crawl sounds like a super cool way to stay sober and have fun at the same time 🤩! I love that all these different bars and breweries are participating, it's gonna be so much fun exploring Fishtown and Northern Liberties with friends while enjoying some delicious zero-proof cocktails 🍹. The idea of staggering hours is genius too, so you can hit up a spot whenever you want without worrying about the bar closing early ⏰. I'm definitely thinking of joining in on this event next year!
 
I'm low-key obsessed with this idea! I've been meaning to try Dry January for ages and now I have a whole excuse to hit up all my fave bars in Fishtown and NorLibs 🍻👍 Standard Tap is always a vibe, but I love that they're offering zero-proof cocktails - so many options for those who want to stay sippin' without the booze 🤩 And can't wait to try out some of these new breweries like Evil Genius Beer Co... the crawl sounds like a blast and it's great to see our city's drink scene gettin' more creative 🎉
 
Ugh I'm so over New Year's resolutions 🤣 I mean who even thought it was a good idea to give up booze for a whole month? Like, what about all the hard work you put into training for that 5k or finishing a book? It's already January and people are like "oh no I had one too many at NYE" 😂

But anyway back to this bar crawl thing... Fishtown and Northern Liberties need more stuff like this! It's so cool that they're all coming together for this event 🤝 25+ bars? That's insane. And zero-proof cocktails? Sign me up! 👍 Standard Tap, Johnny Brenda's, Frankford Hall... I'm already excited for these spots. And the fact that there are breweries and restaurants participating too? It's like the whole city is celebrating Dry January 🎉
