look up Club Risque....Daydreams....and Show and Tell. those would be the better Adult entertainment places...

reguler bars....just about anything in OldCity on 2nd st would be good...also can walk up and down South st which isnt too far from Old city and also find a few good ones there.

if your gonna be in the Northeast there's a **** load. Patty Wacks...General Grants...Chickies and Pete's...to name a few.

Well, you just listed everything interesting in Bristol for him. lol

What kinds of bars are you lookin for? There are lots of college bars, jazz clubs, dance clubs, towny bars, and places to plain old get bombed.

Yeah my friend lives in NE Philly on Roosevelt Blvd and they are about a minute walk from Chickies and Pete's. We went there when we were all in town for their engagement party. We also went to some bars in the old city too. What are phillys laws when it comes to adult entertainment?

If you are a real beer connoisseur like myself there is one place to go

http://www.eulogybar.com/

check out the beer list, over 20 on tap and over 300 different bottles.
I dont care for 2nd street in old city anymore, FILLED with popped collared giant bags of douche.

for dinner:
anyone of steven starr's restaurants are great and it covers a bunch of different kinds of food

http://www.starr-restaurant.com/

As for Adult entertainment.....it aint the cleanest and it aint the nicest but you cant beat show and tell. Its BYOB unlike most of the other clubs, freakin awesome rolling a keg in there.

Yeah I forgot about that one Fran. That's a goodie.

A nice Italian restaurant besides Panorama, is Bistro Romano on Lombard between Front and 2nd. That's an old school Italian joint. Awesome atmosphere in the basement and great food.
