Mad River Bar & Grille is something different from the Old City lounge scene. There are no ropes or private rooms for bottle service here. Instead, you'll find a welcoming atmosphere with a good-looking crowd of young professionals who are either meeting friends or making new ones seven days a week. Mad River is Old City's only place with drink specials every day and serves our upscale pub menu for lunch and dinner daily.

Happy hour and awesome nightly specials are popular during the workweek. On Fridays and Saturdays, Mad River is packed until last call, filled with a high-energy crowd who rock out to 80s, modern rock and Top 40….. The perfect blend of party music! Groups meet to watch the games on Sunday on one of our eight 50 inch plasma TVs as well as our 10 foot projection screen. Mad River is extremely proud to be the official host of Penn State's Philadelphia Alumni Chapter's Saturday TailGreat Game watches!

Mad River Old City features the city's #1 Party Room, the Lodge! With a beautiful stone fireplace, 4 plasma TV's and a large space to accommodate your group, the Lodge is the ideal space for your next private party or corporate event. We can plan a party for any occasion and any size. From small get togethers to large private events, let us do the work for you so that you can sit back and relax!

We look forward to seeing you at Mad River, where it is our pleasure to show you and your friends a great time!
