Wizard World Philadelphia will offer you plenty of opportunities to rub elbows with the comic book elite… but what about after hours? It’s not surprising that folks tend to stay close to the convention center to grab a drink. Where do your favorite comic creators like to hang out when the con closes its doors?

Geekadelphia found out!

The Marriott Lounge was mentioned by artist Brian Quinn (Blood River) but it does tend to become the place where a lot of creator sightings happen.

Writer Tony DiGerlamo (The Web Comic Factory) mentioned the legendary McGillin’s, “the longest operating bar in Philadelphia, you can’t miss it” in the alley street of Drury Lane.

Formally East Coast artist Michael Avon Oeming (Powers, Mice Templar) swears by Tattoo Mom’s for drinks while local artist Scott Derby gave a shout out to Sugar Mom’s. “Great beers on tap, great jukebox, and old friends Bowman and Chad behind the bar. What else can you ask for?”

If you’re looking for places a little farther outside the convention sphere, Zenoscope editor-in-chief Ralph Tedesco swears by Ladder 15 in Rittenhouse.

Marvel editor C.B. Cebulski swears by DiNic’s sandwiches in Reading Terminal Market, so much so that he’ll head there first thing to wait in line.

Some other establishments that got mentions include Black Sheep (from Mike Oeming), Modo Mio and Umai Umai (Ralph Tedesco), Khyber Pass Pub (Scott Derby).

What about cheesesteaks though? It was the lone super artist Jim Lee that proclaimed “Geno’s!” as his favorite place to eat in Philadelphia.
