text: Strange little place hidden on th St in uptown that for some reason stays packed Of course it is not really hard to pack this place as small as it is It does seem to be popular though probably mainly due to the scenery of the bartenders nnUnfortunately you only get a glimpse of them as you grab a drink and try to stay out of the crush And good luck getting back to your group or your table without spilling half of your drink if you are lucky enough to find a place to sitnnLive bands and more often DJs are in there spinning some decent tunes but Phils is more often a staging point for the rest of the evening a springboard to bigger places and better things
