Reason #14 To Love Philadelphia: Doc Watson’s

Shuttered since a March 2005 police raid, Doc Watson’s Pub has a new — well, the old — owner, a fresh coat of paint and finally re-opened for business yesterday.

The owner is 74-year-old Barry Sandrow, who owned and ran the bar from 1971 to 1997. (He sold it to Daniel Flynn but retained ownership of the building.) He says it’s going to be different than the underage drinking palace it had been before its closing last year.

And, hey, you know what they say: You can never have enough drinking spots within blocks of my apartment. Well, that’s what I say, at least.
