We recently highlighted some of Montgomery County's historic taverns, including several of the oldest continuously operating taverns in the country. It would be remiss not to mention some of the county's other one-of-a-kind neighborhood bars and taverns that have become local favorites over the years.

McClosky's Tavern – Ardmore
Open since 1934, McClosky's is the Main Line's oldest Irish pub and has built a reputation for outstanding food and friendly service. While the menu still embraces its Irish roots, you'll also find plenty of American favorites and an impressive selection of craft beers.

Dutch Cottage Tavern – Skippack
A true neighborhood gathering spot, the Dutch Cottage Tavern is known for lively karaoke nights, competitive pool leagues, live music, and a menu packed with burgers, sandwiches, and appetizers. Guests can enjoy both indoor and outdoor dining, complete with cozy fire pits.

KC's Alley – Ambler
This inviting sports bar features exposed brick walls, live entertainment, and a full brunch, lunch, and dinner menu. It's the kind of neighborhood place where regulars feel right at home.

The Bull Restaurant & Tavern – Montgomeryville
Family-owned since 1967, The Bull has been serving generations of Montgomery County residents. Its extensive menu, welcoming atmosphere, and wide selection of beers have made it a longtime local favorite.

Maple Glen Tavern – Maple Glen
Another family-owned neighborhood staple, Maple Glen Tavern serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner in a relaxed atmosphere. With plenty of TVs and both indoor and covered outdoor seating, it's a great place to catch a game or enjoy a casual meal.

Capone's Restaurant – East Norriton
Part sports bar and part craft beer destination, Capone's boasts an outstanding selection of microbrews and craft beers, along with its own bottle shop located behind the restaurant. The Capone family has owned and operated the business for more than 40 years—a testament to its enduring popularity.

Union Jack's Olde Glory Pub – Glenside
Named to Philadelphia Magazine's list of the area's best bars and twice voted "Best of Glenside," Union Jack's has been a neighborhood favorite since 1992. It's one of the best places to catch Philadelphia sports, enjoy trivia nights, sample a rotating lineup of craft beers, and try the wings they proudly call the "World's Best."

The Drake Tavern – Jenkintown
Known as the "Master of Burgers," The Drake Tavern has earned recognition from both Philly.com and SportsRadio 94WIP for its outstanding burgers. The menu extends far beyond burgers, offering something for everyone. Inside, guests will find a beautiful wood-accented bar, while the spacious outdoor patio becomes one of the area's most popular gathering spots during the warmer months.

Tony G's – Norristown
A longtime family-owned tavern, Tony G's is famous for its cheesesteaks, wings, and more than 30 beer selections. The first floor features a lively pub atmosphere with plenty of TVs, while the second-floor lounge is available for private parties and special events.

Montgomery County is a big place, and fortunately, it's filled with neighborhood bars and taverns that each offer their own unique personality. Whether you're looking for great food, a cold craft beer, live music, trivia, or simply a welcoming place to meet friends, these local favorites continue to make Montgomery County one of the best places in the region to raise a glass.

One of the things that makes Montgomery County so special is that these neighborhood taverns are much more than places to grab a meal or watch a game. They have become gathering places where friends meet after work, families celebrate special occasions, and longtime residents welcome newcomers into the community. Each has developed its own personality, loyal following, and traditions that have stood the test of time.
