I was gonna recommend the Plough/Stars too. Actually, that whole strip (2nd St) in Old City has some fun places, interspersed among the pretentious and trendy joints. The Continental (Market St. at 2nd St.) is great for martinis. If they're looking for shots and beers, Drinkers Pub (on Market between Front and 2nd St.) is the way to go.
Never hung out much in the Center City neighborhood, but I've always been a huge fan of Nodding Head (on Sansom St.). There are some other great places near there, too.
I'm more of a Northern Liberties kinda guy, but that's a really yuppie/college-y part of town. Dunno if they'd so much be into those places.
