Kensington
Bars, breweries, and nightlife in Kensington, Philadelphia
Kensington is a historically industrial Philadelphia neighborhood that's seen a real craft-beer and bar revival over the past decade, especially along its border with the increasingly popular Fishtown, and BarFinder's 64 listed venues reflect that mix - classic bars lead, but cocktail bars, dive bars, and breweries all have a real foothold. Meyers Brewing Company and Fishtown Tavern sit alongside Barcade (the original arcade-bar concept that's since expanded to multiple cities) and neighborhood staples like O'Reilly's Pub. It's a neighborhood in the middle of real change, with old-school dive bars and newer craft spots sitting block from block.
