Alcohol

The drinking age is 21 in Pennsylvania, and is strictly enforced in most bars in the city. If you look young, you will get carded everywhere, with the exception of a few complete dives (which will remain unnamed for their sake). Purchasing alcohol in Pennsylvania is not always simple. Beer distributors and state-run Wine & Spirits shops are located throughout the city and keep limited hours. See the Bring Your Own Bottle [1] page for more information.
