Which Friends Character Are You?

Beer will always be there for you. There are tons of varieties to choose from. In fact, our Fishtown brewery has so many original craft beers that every single one is kick-you-in-the-crotch-spit-on-your-neck fantastic (if we do say so ourselves). So where to begin?

Instead of feeling overwhelmed, just stop and think “Which Friends character do I most identify with?” and go from there. We have a handy guide that matches a brew with a character, and we feel pretty confident that we nailed it. Let’s get started.

Ross

If you’re a Ross we suggest BE A GROWN UP THEY SAID, IT WILL BE FUN THEY SAID which is a beautiful pale ale. You clearly respect the rules of grammar and would NEVER steal anyone else’s sandwich. You’re the one who helps keep everyone on track, and thank goodness. Just like this ale, you are classic and reliable. So reward yourself. You deserve it.

Rachel

Are you a Rachel? You’ll love CAFFEINATE THE PROCESS which is a hazy IPA with coffee (that you won’t have to serve). The coffee undertones pair perfectly with the hops so you can kick back in your old wedding dress and enjoy the two things you love. This IPA will appreciate your attention to fashion and won’t judge your lack of housekeeping skills, which is more than can be said of some of your friends.

Joey

How you doin’? You’re Joey so please enjoy LIKE AND SUBSCRIBE FOR PART 2! which is a Dortmunder lager. Sweet malt and spicy hops pair together to make this a relatively light lager, which is basically like finding your hand twin. You can be tough when needed but you’re sweet and caring which means you’re not overwhelming, just like this beer. So get the Joey Special, enjoy a few LIKE AND SUBSCRIBES, and then tell Huggsy your bedtime penguin pal all about it.

Chandler

Could you BE any more like Chandler? Are you hopeless and awkward and desperate for love? Do you use humor as a defense mechanism? Cozy up to I SAID WHAT I SAID, a key lime margarita sour that has all the flavors of relaxation, just like taking a bath. You don’t have to pretend to watch the Thanksgiving football game with I SAID WHAT I SAID. Be yourself and drink outside the lines. 

Monica 

Rules help control the fun which is why being a Monica is important. You like order and you like flavor. We respect that. Try our OM NOM NOM which is an apple cider donut ale. I KNOW! This would pair with anything you whip up in the kitchen, because of course it would. Talk about a perfect ale for when you host Thanksgiving!

Phoebe

You’re cheerful and positive with a liiiiiiiiittle bit of an edge, which is why we think you’d love JUST VIBIN’, a hazy IPA with mango, pineapple, and guava. Not what you’d expect but pleasantly surprised? Exactly. So whip out that guitar and chill out with JUST VIBIN’ before Frank asks you for a BIG favor.

Was that perfection? We thought it might help get you started because we know looking at our beer list can be as overwhelming as Janice. So who do you identify with? Our taproom is ready for you.

Top 5 Reasons to Host Your Next Event at Evil Genius

Are you sick of the been-there-done-that selection of places to hold a private event in Philadelphia? If you’re looking for a fun atmosphere with great beer and wine packages, Evil Genius is absolutely the place for you.

We have over 3,000 square feet and a Beer Garden so no party is too big or too small. We can handle everything so all you have to do is show up and have fun. Of the event venues in Fishtown, you truly can’t go wrong here. In fact, here are the top five reasons to host your fabulous event with us at Evil Genius.

Space options to choose from

Are you feeling more of a 90’s vibe with your friends? Possibly as a birthday party venue in Philadelphia? Come hang out in Your Parent’s Basement and enjoy retro gaming, comfy couches, and be near all the action but with your own space. It accommodates 20 guests standing. Trust us, you’ve never hung out like this before.

Or maybe your crew wants A Room With A View (of the brewery). Here you can enjoy a German-style hall or use the 20X20 area your own way. This room accommodates up to 65 guests. Bottoms up!

Are you looking for a brewery venue for events? Then come play outside in our Beer Garden and enjoy the weather before it gets too cold. This is a great location for corporate events because business people like to drink beer too. And who could blame them?

Bar packages

Each of our packages are designed to suit any host. From the rehearsal dinner to the bridal shower there is something for everyone. There are beer/wine/hard seltzer/liquor packages priced per person similar to wedding receptions. You can also choose the Host Package and have everything charged to you plus a bartender fee, easy peasy.

We also offer the ol’ Cash Bar option which is pretty cut and dry. And our final option is Bar Coins. Each coin is $7, can be purchased ahead of time, and redeemed for beer, wine, or soda.

In-house food packages

Don’t you worry about a thing! ​​You want the best place to have an event in Philly? You’ve come to the right place because we also have food packages to choose from so you have nothing to fret about. It’s covered. We have a mac and cheese or taco bar. Flatbreads. Family style sandwich platters. Cheese and charcuterie platters (hello bridal shower!). Snacks. The whole shebang.

Fido friendly

We at Evil Genius firmly believe that humans shouldn’t always have all the fun. We happily welcome dogs so you never have to worry about leaving them at home for your event. They can have water while you partake in our variety of beer. Maybe you even want to host a doggy birthday party, who’s to say?

Out of the box

When you hit the ol’ search bar and type “rehearsal dinner venues in Philadelphia” or “shower venues in Philadelphia” you don’t want to pick a place everyone expects and has gone to over and over again. Evil Genius is for those who think outside of the box. Kick it up a notch and make your event one to remember. That’s why you’re the hostess with the mostess afterall.

So yes, we are super psyched to host your next event. We’ve got loads of choices to make it the best possible from indoor/outdoor seating to a variety of drink and food packages. Go ahead, you know you want to.
