After the game, the night is still young. After all, you’ve hopped on the SPECIAL blue trains on the way back. (Have no fear if the game heads into extra innings – SEPTA doesn’t start running the SPECIAL trains until the game ends, no matter how late.) When it pulls into the first stop at Walnut-Locust, follow the signs for Locust Street. Head east on Locust until you reach 1511 (Broad is the de facto “14th Street”). That’s the Misconduct Tavern.

Despite its name, it actually has a maritime, Tommy Hilfiger-esque theme and attracts a highly mainstream crowd. The “Misconduct” moniker refers to the name of yacht of its late owner, and the tavern was duly named after it. As the official site puts it: “When we say “misconduct” we mean it in the friendliest and most fun-filled way. Enjoy!”

The chicken fingers are the best in the city, and it offers a fine collection of both standard suds and superior microbrews. The kitchen is open late, so there will still be plenty of time to grab dinner after the subway trip. Try to get a table near the window, for the best view, or in one of the padded booths in the back.

Then if you drove, head out to find your car – and if you didn’t, head back to your hotel, or to Suburban to take the train back. Note: Suburban trains after the PM rush generally leave once an hour – so do yourself a favor and make sure you pick up the schedule for your line before you leave for the ballpark. Nothing is worse than having just missed a train – and it’s particularly bad if you’ve missed the last train back for the evening. So plan in advance. Look the times up at SEPTA.org and take the paper schedule with you (they have them all at Suburban.)

Have a great time! Go Phillies!
