OPEN MIC NIGHT
Leave your calorie counter at home and dig into some good old-fashioned comfort food at Dowling's Palace in North Philly. Their menu includes chicken, fish, smothered turkey wings and porkchops. Meals include two hearty portions picked from a dozen popular soul food sides including mac and cheese, collard greens, potato salad, and black eyed peas. On top of that, all meals are under $10.
Dowling's has a long history of supporting local talent with their weekly showcases. On Sunday nights, Lucky Thompson and Napoleon Black featuring the Budesa Bros host Jus' Jazz jam session from 8-11pm. On Thursday's the place fills up with poets, songwriters, rappers, and comedians for Jus' Words, hosted by Shyster and Ms. Wise. The $5 open mic night every Thursday at 9pm starts with a community discussion and includes features from all over the country.

Dr. Watson's Pub
216 South 11th Street
Philadelphia, PA
Closed February 2nd, 2010
It's hard to stomach the reality of legendary Philadelphia club Dr. Watson's Pub going belly-up. The famous second-floor stage hosted some incredible regional and national acts. The longstanding Philly establishment (since 1971) opened its doors for the last time on February 2nd, 2010. The no-cover finale featured Derek Sammack, Stephen Rose, DAPP, Mikey Potato, St. Alborne, and a final encore by Vince Volz and Clint Davis (formerly of Stillicide).
