Casey's - A bar above the level of "dive" in Hatfield, although the exterior screams "dive bar". Somebody forgot to tell the chef where's he's working, though and the food is excellent. The bartenders are friendly and the drinks are stiff.

Blue Dog Pub - part of a chain of 2 restaurants (I go to the Lansdale one) that mostly position themselves as sports bars. They have the big screen TVs and the occasional crowd during large sporting events, but make up for that with great food and an extremely wide variety of beers.

The Sumney - Yet another in a line of bars with great food. The dining area is bigger than the bar here, though. Still has a load of regular barflies that hangs out there, but they tend to be reasonably nice folks, even when liquored up. American/Irish pub type food, much better than expected despite the pink neon on the roof.

Rinos - Italian restaurant in Exton, Penna. right outside the mall property on Route 30. Reasonable beer selection, great food specialities (Chicken Basil Calzone, anyone?) and an awesome dessert tray. How many pizza joints that you go to have dessert trays?

I'll add more as I think of them.
