Memorial Day Wrap-Up Video Here is a little something to remember this past weekend by (we know most of you are having trouble remembering it on your own). As expected, many Delco residents can be seen in this video including our own "Chug Monkey." We like to thank Vicky for making this video possible. See you all next weekend.

Bar Of The Week: The Clif-Side Tavern Sometimes there's a bar, I don't want to say a hole in the wall, because its much worse than that. But sometimes there's a bar that you can walk into and just know in your bones that bad things happen there. A bar that you walk into and immediately have the sinister eyes of every regular on you as they mumble just loud enough for you to hear "Who the fuck is this ass hole and what the fuck is he doing in my bar?" The Clif-Side Tavern is that bar.
The Clif-Side is a staple of the Clifton Heights community and has been over-serving it's patrons since it was founded in 1920. It gets it's name from Clifton Franklin Ewing III, who was a rebel of the prohibition days. While alcohol was illegal between the years of 1920 and 1933, Clifton served the county's tastiest moonshine and home-brewed suds out of a window on the side of his mother's shed. And the Clif-Side was born. To this day, The Cliff-Side still uses the same token system it did way back then. A gold token will get you the finest top-shelf liquor they have to offer. Orange tokens equal a bottom-shelf shot. Brown is a mixed drink. Red will score you a pint. A yellow token gets a bottle of brew. Got a green token? Then you got yourself a fine import. And if you show up with a brown one, well then you can get the shittiest draft they have to offer and hit the fucking road. The Cliff-Side has grown up a lot since those days. They now offer you a coaster, all be it in the form of a piece of cardboard ripped off from one of their cases. But its a step in the right direction none-the-less. The bar is decorated in beautiful Christmas lights year round, which compliment the old school cigarette machine and Pool League trophies quite well. The Cliff-Side has a fine selection of both six and twelve-packs, but if you want to leave with a 40 ounce beverage then you better enjoy Budweiser, Coors Light, Miller High Life, or Milwaukee's Best Premium because that's all your going to get. My recommendation? Stop in and ask the tender Dan for an ice cold draft of Budweiser. He'll shoot you a look and his eyes will tell you "Hey buddy, the rest of these bastards in here want to kill you, but I'll take good care of you." Then he'll slip a piece of cardboard in front of you, place down your beverage, and go back to shooting pool. Nothing could make you feel more at home. Prices: Lowest you'll ever find. Special: $1.50 Bud and BL drafts during Phillies games. ($1.75 reg.) Atmosphere: Scary Dive Bar Activities: Pool Table, 2 Megatouch Games, Philly Sports on their flat screen T.V.'s Food: Best Meatball and Sausages sandwiches in at least 2 blocks.
