Wogies Bar & Grill
8.3
This Philly-rooted West Village sports bar is as serious about Krazy Kate’s Wings as it is about cheesesteaks and game-day viewing. Locals lean on it for saucy wings, solid pours, and a low-key happy hour that feels more like a neighborhood hang than a scene.

What makes it special: A Philly-style corner bar where Krazy Kate’s Wings and cheesesteaks headline happy hour alongside plenty of game-day screens.
Who should go: Sports fans craving saucy wings with serious cheesesteaks.
When to visit: Weeknights during games for wings, beers, and happy hour.
What to order: Krazy Kate’s Wings, Buffalo chicken cheesesteak, Nan and Pop’s Garbage Bread.
Insider tip: During big Philly games, treat it like a playoff bar—arrive early or reserve if you want an inside table instead of sidewalk seats.
Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking only; generally tough after 5pm due to residential demand. Nearest paid garage is on Washington St. within a 5–7 minute walk.
Dress code: Casual—jerseys, tees, and jeans are standard. No need to dress up unless you're coming from work.
Noise level: Loud during games with consistent bar chatter; conversation is possible at non-peak hours but tough during major sports events.
Weekend wait: 20–40 minutes, longer during major Philly games or playoff nights.
Weekday lunch: Typically no wait; seating is easy before mid-afternoon games.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Limited but workable—vegetarian apps and sandwiches available, though wings dominate the menu.
Vegan options: Very limited—most items rely on cheese, bread, or fried components.
Gluten-free options: Partial options—some salads and select items can be modified, but wings and cheesesteaks are not reliably gluten-free.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Only if both people enjoy sports bars—it's lively, loud, and casual. Not ideal for intimate conversation or a quieter first impression.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes—it's walk-in friendly, but arrive early for big games as bar seats and indoor tables fill quickly.
Is it kid-friendly? During non-game hours, yes for older kids who like casual bar food. Evenings during major sports events can be too loud and crowded for young children.
Best For
Better for: Casual game-day eats, saucy wings, and a neighborhood-bar atmosphere that feels more local than the bigger 7th Avenue sports bars.
Skip if: You want a quiet meal, strong vegetarian/vegan options, or a scene-y happy hour with craft cocktails.
