Revamping some of the city's saddest watering holes
Looks like Jon Taffer and the Bar Rescue crew is back in Philly attempting to revamp some of the city's saddest watering holes. The Spike series was in Philly three years back and tackled the now shuttered Swanky Bubbles in Old City and still kickin' Downey's on South.
This week they've been spotted at Lickity Split, the longtime South Street go to for, well, we're not really sure because it's always pretty empty in there. There have also been Bar Rescue sightings at Westy's a.k.a. the West Tavern at 15th and Callowhill otherwise known as "Philadelphia's exclusive home of the Dirty Burger."
