I live in the East Passyunk area and I’m always trolling for more spots where I can guzzle some beer and get some hot food. My interest was piqued one day as I walked past 13th and Sigel Streets, right off Passyunk: a new bar called Lucky 13 was awaiting my arrival!

It’s a small, cozy spot with a great wood bar and a smattering of Schmidt’s lamps (the owner said that Schmidt’s was his dad’s favorite). The newly installed taps boast local brews from PBC, old standbys and more exotic quaffs like Golden Monkey. The food has been wonderful both times I’ve visited. I’ve had the tempeh sandwich, the Mediterranean platter with homemade hummus and baba ghanoush, the mushroom risotto, the unbelievable rigatoni mac and cheese, nachos with homemade chili and, my personal favorite, tomato and goat cheese soup!

With reasonable prices, a friendly owner/barkeep (Clark) and wonderful service (ask for Faith!), Lucky 13 just gave me a reason (besides visiting my grandma) to head south on Passyunk!

Did I mention the KILLER jukebox?

About the Blogger

I'm a native Philadelphian that grew up far away (Alaska and Oklahoma), and after coming back to Philly for a relatively useless degree in Classical Languages at an overpriced private university, my love of this town kept me here. I live in South Philly and can be seen frequenting local gastro-pubs and watering holes on my old Schwinn. Words to describe me: beer, pickles, hot pink, shiny things, mahi mahi, photography, thrifting, grammar, editing, freelancing, blogging and crosswords. Dancing is my therapy and disco, new wave, electro and party jams always get me on the floor. I spend an inordinate amount of time watching films and foreign television programs--some of my favorites include Riget, The Prisoner, League of Gentlemen and Little Britain. Along the way I started collecting nicknames and I have a list that includes: Alaskan Snow Crab, Small Fry, Ice Queen, Snugglebutt, Kleines Frites, Chittabeep, Strudel and Lexicon of Love--but I'll also respond to, "Hey, you!"

Lucky 13 rocks. It’s a great mix of neighborhood bar, better than average food, and good beer selection. Love it.
