The moment you turn the big 2-1 in Philadelphia you're a part of a new and exciting world. So long to house parties and socials and hello to your wallet's worst nightmare. Philly offers an ENDLESS selection of bars throughout the city.

So where should you go and more importantly what should you expect when you step into some of Temple students' favorite college bars?

Let's talk about the six most-frequented bars by Owls both on and off campus.

The minute you finally reach legality, you'll most likely find yourself in one of Temple's campus bars.

1. Draught Horse (1431 Cecil B. Moore Avenue)

Draught Horse is a stone throw away from the heart of campus. The best time to go is Wednesday nights for the infamous "White Girl Wednesdays." Dollar Bud Lights all around. This is the time you'll find all of your binge drinking classmates who are also avoiding their midweek work.

Draught Horse has a sports bar atmosphere including pool tables, but this doesn't mean there isn't a spot to break it down. You should be forewarned that you're more than likely to see one of your TA's here. Ask them how your paper was!

2. Masters (1535 North Carlisle Street)

Although Masters is the new kid on the block, students have wasted no time getting acquainted with it. Thursday nights is where it's at. You're almost guaranteed to wait in line if you show up later than midnight. The new bar offers an interesting dynamic with two floors open to students.

If you're looking for a calmer atmosphere to hangout with friends, nod your head to some music and watch a sports game, downstairs is for you. The upstairs section is a complete turnaround. Loud music, flashing lights, dancing and a packed bar are a few things you can expect. Although it'll cost you $2 to get up there, it's definitely something every Masters-goer needs to experience.

3. Maxi's (1926 Liacouras Walk)

An oldie, but goodie. Ask any alumni where they would spend their days as an undergrad and they'll probably tell you Maxi's. Although Maxi's has lost some of their regular business with the arrival of Masters, this bar will never go out of style.

A small and simplistic set up on the main walk of campus, you'll find students in Maxi's almost any day or time during the week. When I say any time, I mean any time. It's not rare to catch upperclassmen in the bar as you're walking to your 1 p.m. Not to mention the bar is also attached to their pizzeria.

For the more adventurous travelers, let's head off campus.

4. McGillin's Olde Ale House (1310 Drury Street)

An all time favorite. Pick any day of the week with any group of friends and you guaranteed a blast. If you're into throwback jams, sing-alongs and cheap pitchers of beer this is the place for you. Opened in 1860, it's the oldest continually operated tavern in the city. A fun fact I personally like to us as the reasoning for my frequent visits. "I'm learning the city's history and culture, Dad."

Although there're two floors open to bar goes, most of the time McGillin's is absolutely packed. If you're not shouting at your friends in conversation, you're doing it wrong. Dim-lighted with tables placed closely together you're sure to make some new friends.

5. Cavanaugh's River Deck (417 North Columbus Boulevard)

Every other weekend Temple students find themselves at Cavanaugh's using an open bar under someone's name they never met. This bar is notorious for hosting $20 open bars like they're going out of style. Only the finest (cheapest) liquor will get you through the night.

You'll get pushed and you'll get shoved, but you'll have a great time reliving your house party days while drinking legally. If you don't like to dance, this is not the place for you. The best part of the bar is outside on the River Deck (hence the name)! Pretty much anything goes at Cavanaugh's… except for wearing your hat backwards. One of the stranger rules of the bar. Sorry guys!

6. Fox & Hound (1510 Spruce Street)

Formerly the mecca for underage drinkers, Fox & Hound is one of Philly's beloved sports tavern. Tuesdays are regularly referred to as "Fox Days." Two dollar drafts starting at 11 a.m. until 2 a.m. Fox & Hound is a guy's guy bar. There's no dancing here, but you can expect to find every relevant sports game to Philadelphia fans playing on large screens. Not to mention their bar appetizers are absolutely delicious!
