Best Air Conditioned Bars of 2011

As the temperatures near 100 degrees, take solace in the fact that many bars in the city not only have great beer but also great air conditioning!


Brauhaus Schmitz

-The German-themed beer hall keeps its customers cool and refreshed during the summer.

Cantina Los Caballitos
-When it’s too hot to enjoy their new beer garden, the inside of the Cantina is a refreshing place to take a break

Cavanaugh's Rittenhouse
- It's a sports bar with great drink specials a bazillion TVs (approximately), and a Big Buck Hunter II machine. That's just about all the reasoning we need to go.

Dandelion
-Grab a seat on one of the couches in Stephen Starr’s English-style pub

Eulogy
-Eulogy makes it just as easy to enjoy its 350+ bottles in the summer as any other time of year

-It may be inside an old building, but National Mechanics thankfully has been updated enough to have air conditioning

Paddy Whack’s South Street
-A great place to watch a game and stay in the air-conditioning

Perch Pub
- Perch's food is awesome, and it has a great view of the hustle and bustle of Broad St.

Rum Bar
- A ridiculously large selection of Rum (seriously, it's the largest selection in the city), and Caribbean tapas to boot. Plus, their new cocktail menu just launched!
