Doc’s Union Pub

Overly noisy, mainly because underage drinkers can not control themselves. Maybe the LCB should do something about this place.

Went here a few weeks ago on a thursday the fat man with with glasses and balding spots was disrespectful made horrible jokes and got mad when ever I ordered a drink he also asked me when us two were left in the bar can I stay and suck his you know what. I am a straight man I got up left and didn’t tip fat gays are annoying

A friend of mine was guest bartending with her boyfriend here so I went to show my support! I went by myself and still had a fun time. A lot of fun people watching. Definitely a local spot. Not bad prices and chilled fireball– SWEET!

Screw it. I stopped in last weekend with a friend who lives nearby and witnessed that degenerate hood mentality that I always assumed was more rumor than reality.
Mixed mid-​sized group of 6 – 7 came in, visibly drunk, but harmless, just having a good time on the dance floor. Next thing I know, one of the «non-​regulars» got cold cocked in the face for ostensibly bumping into someone.
Somehow this led to a full scale riot out front in which I witnessed that same unfortunate dancing soul getting gang stomped by 4 guys at the same time.
Clearly he deserved this.
Not only that but the now-​cheerleading bartender and about 10 of his patrons (read: minions) — a quarter of which were undoubtably still matriculating in a local high school — decided to go all homicidal on the 3 other guys in the group simultaneously.
On the way out I overheard some bloodthirsty buffoon say: «who do these kids think they are making OUR bar part of their bar crawl?» Thereby corroborating my earlier assumption that this was merely a primitive play to childishly ‘mark their territory’.
I managed to call a cab as the army of cop cars came parading down the street. On the way back north he candidly told me that he doesn’t even bother driving down this way as he tends to get more rocks thrown at him than cab fare.
If there was anything even moderately redeemable about this bar I might reconsider the one star, but in a city awash in drinking holes, this one would be better off washed down the drain.

I wish I would have read the other Unilocal reviews before going here last night. It is very unsafe. I saw a bunch of regulars/​locals beat up a few other guys just because they weren’t locals and therefore weren’t welcome. I saw the bartender get involved and violently throw the non-​locals out on the street. one guy was beat so bad he was taken away in an ambulance. It was truly horrific. I really hope he is ok. I would never go back here.

Just started going regularly (about every Thursday night) and it’s chill. Quiet pre-​nine, but, then you have a mixed college-​over 50 crowd well into the night. It can get a bit wild afterhours around 3 – 4 AM. The weekend is when you’re going to get the high school crowd (and younger sadly sometimes), just saying.
And to the first reviewer:
You live across from a bar in South Philly… XD

Doc’s is the typical neighborhood bar, with one of those nifty ‘ami’ jukeboxes plugged into the internet.
Typical beer selection, decent vodka cranberry, and enough fried fare to choose from for a night.
Clean joint/​bathroom, although one or two tables too few in my opinion.
The owner and regulars of Doc’s pre-​ten oh clock are great ol’ guys and a couple of their wives. Afterward, the place sinks a star because post-​ten there were way too many underaged kids waltzing in for my taste.

i have never been in this bar, but i live right across the street. it is so loud. people hang outside way after closing. drunk and annoying. yelling until after 4 am sometimes. i am new the the hood. but it seems as if it doesnt bother anyone but me. i will never go in. i dont want to befriend the people i cant stand.
on weekends it seems very young and trashy. the only good thing is during the summer, everyone around here goes down the shore. so the noise level is less.
