Always a good time!!! Greatest place in Philadelphia for Marines to meet. Miss Daddy Wags.
I attended the 241st Marine Corps Birthday celebration and had an outstanding day! Great food, great music and met some of the worlds finest professionals! Semper Fidelis!!๏ฟฝ
Iโve only ever been to Cookies twice, both times to celebrate the Marine Corps Birthday. You guys host a great party! One thing I wanted to highlight from this past birthday was your DJ went to play the National Anthem but he played some other top 40 song. We all got a good laugh. Due to this mess up we, the crowd, decided to sing the National Anthem instead. That was FANTASTIC!!! Just my opinion but we should do that every year.
Great friendly atmosphere and great drinks in a very friendly neighborhood.
Amazing time --we have been to a few Marine bday celebrations thru the years and all an amazing time! ๐ฆ

Great place to celebrate the Marine Corps birthday.
Went to Cookieโs for the 242nd Marine Corps Birthday. I had a fantastic time. Semper Fi!!!!
I cannot wait till next year. The whole atmosphere for our birthday was amazing, seeing our senior marines and younger marines together was a beautiful site. The staff was amazing, respectful and courteous. Thanks for having me. Semper Fi
Wish the beer wasn't so great so I could remember more of it.... Haha
Stop in there yesterday picked up a Marine Corps shirt the owner bought me and my buddy a drink great atmosphere see you on the 10th Semper Fi
One of the best bars in South Philly!! Gotta stop in almost every time I go to the City.
I had served with our 3rd I.D. Army. Went with some Marine friends, incredible time. Is it really customary for Army to buy all the rounds.
Thanks for putting on the birthday for our Marine Corps. You did a great job and your prices are fair. The Marines thank you. ๐บ๐ธ๐บ๐ธ
Formerly the original "Cookies Tavern", "Tankies Tavern" has new ownership, a new look, and a totally new experience!! The brand new kitchen boasts some of the best Mexican food found in Philadelphia. Totally renovated and ultra modern. Top shelf liquors and amazing beer selection. Stop in for a drink and tacos and take advantage of flat screens throughout for NFL: MNF, TNF, & SNF, as well as MLB: World Series action. This bar throws one of the biggest parties in the city every year on November 10th to honor and celebrate the service men and women of our beloved United States Marine Corp. Absolutely one of my favorite places to be any night of the week on any day of the year!! Good times, great food, & excellent people. Bartenders will remember your name and your drink. You'll always feel right at home at Tankies!!! Can't miss!!
Cool "new" little bar on Oregon, right next to Oregon steaks... huge makeover from what it was with a fresh "hip" vibe. CASH onlyโผ๏ธ๐ Also, the Mexican food is ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ, don't sleep on Tankie's TexMex
Marine Corps birthday is always a great and safe event. Reasonable drink prices. Parking is hit or miss.
The mexican food is phenomenal. A beautiful clean laid back bar atmosphere. Great people that support great causes such as the Michael Strange foundation. ๐๐๐
Great place especially for Marine Corps Birthday!!!!
Wasn't here long. Just to meet up with some folks. Looks like a nice spot for a bite and a beer. Will visit again if I'm in the area.
THE PLACE TO CELEBRATE THE MARINE CORPS BIRTHDAY!!!
Marines come to this hallowed location every year to celebrate the birthday of the Marine Corps. Bag pipes, food, beer, friends, brothers, mentors, leaders, and family. This is the location to visit if you are a Marine. If you have not been here you will never know what it is like to share a brotherhood that literally spans generations across the Corps. Semper Fidelis Marines!
Love to come here and hang with my friends. Cheap drinks, they are open ass-early in the morning and they have a jukebox you can pick songs with your phone. Super bonus is they recently went non-smoking! What's bad about that is you still get these folks who can't let go and they'll go in the bathroom and smoke and then it stinks worse than the smokey bar ever did because the cigarette smoke is concentrated inside that tiny room. No food, but you can walk next door to Oregon Steaks and bring your food back over to eat it.
Been there several times for the Marine Corps Birthday Block Party they have in honor of our (Marines) day, it's awesome and I plan on being there this year (2015)..Marine Corps started in Tun's Tavern way back in 1775 in Philly, so let's keep the tavern birthday party tradition going...OOOOH-RAAAAH.

Great local neighborhood bar. Currently in the process of being remodeled. You will be pleasantly surprised at the new look of Cookie's Tavern. Make sure you check it out!
Enjoyed great time for Marine Corps Birthday. Met new people and my dad enjoyed himself a lot. Thank you.
This used to cookies now it's something completely different. The place is nice and the bartender was good but it's not the same they took down all the pictures and the USMC memorable
There is No Place, Like This Place, Anywhere Near This Place. So Cookies Is THE PLACE
A South Philly institution. Hosts Marine Corps birthday every November. Used to allow smoking but I believe they stopped.
My friend and I are here now and they have a really nice menue and drinks are really great.๐๐
Fantastic place to celebrate the Marine Corps birthday will definitely be back next year
