Unfortunately, unlike some wine, great age did not improve them. Yikes is this ever a smoker's bar. I walked in, peered through the carcinogenic haze, and saw a long bar in a narrow room. Of the fourteen stools, nine were occupied with patrons actively smoking. As they were so obvious I counted 10 ashtrays lining the bar. To complete the scene the bartender served my drink with one hand while holding a cigarette in the other. To be fair my drink was good and cheap. I noticed that there was a separate dining room with a separate outside entrance. Ah ha, this must be the non-smoking part of this place. Think again. There is a big sign on the dining room entrance door that says "Smoking Permitted." At least they don't need to worry about the quality of their food. Most of the patrons can't taste, smell, or see it. It's clear that Busty's has a following. I just won't be one of them.

I've been driving by this place for years and finally I stopped in just because it was there. This is a neighborhood dive bar that doesn't pretend to be anything but what it is. It's very dim and the bar itself seats about 20. THE GOOD- * Nice parking lot to the left and back of the building. Much better than street parking. * Vivacious and attentive bartender. * Cheap drinks. THE BAD- * Don't come here for craft beers. Beers here are mostly cheap domestics and meant to be guzzled. * And unbelievably foul mouthed crowd. I quickly tired of f**k and s**t from multiple patrons every other sentence. THE UGLY- * This is one of the few SMOKING bars remaining in PA! You can smell it from outside. I returned home, stripped and tossed everything in the wash. So what would it take to entice me to return? Victoria's Secret models as bartenders dressed like the commercials might do it but I'd need to think about it!

The rusty nail is a true and safe neighborhood gem with great music from local and traveling bands and cheap drinks. We received an update that the girl was identified and is okay

While a change in ownership occurred recently, the new team has wisely kept the "time capsule" vibe intact--think dark wood, dim lighting, and a total lack of pretension. The kitchen doesn't try to reinvent the wheel, and that's exactly why people love it. The Burgers: Often cited as some of the best in the area, these are classic, juicy bar burgers. They recently introduced a "smash burger" style that has been winning over even the most stubborn regulars. The Cheesesteaks: You won't find any touristy gimmicks here. These are authentic, local-style cheesesteaks--perfectly chopped meat, plenty of cheese, and served on a roll that actually holds up to the grease. This is a Philly sports bar to its core. The walls are adorned with years of sports memorabilia, and when the Eagles are playing, the atmosphere is electric. It's the neighborhood's unofficial living room for Sunday games. You'll find multi-generational fans shouting at the TVs, cold domestic drafts in hand, and a level of camaraderie that you only get in a place that's been around for 90+ years.

I ordered a whiskey sour and it was made to specification, including whipped egg whites. The old-fashioned included crushed quality cherries with the classic, full single cube of ice.
