    I'm staying at one of the airport hotels and seeing both night #1 and #2. Any advice for getting to/from Wells Fargo Center?

    Uber
    I fly in Thursday afternoon and am heading straight to WFC, can you get an uber at the airport? There have been issues in the past here in chicago with uber airport pickups

    Yeah, last I heard, or knew of, was that you could take an Uber Xto the airport but not from. Uber Black will pick you up, at that point a cab is a better price point.

    But I gotta be honest, this is what I do - mark a point on your map on Uber where the X driver is allowed to pick up and then when he's on his way call him to pick you up at terminal whatever. They'll do it every time, just both play dumb and you're the best of friends.

    If you are going from an airport hotel to the Wells Fargo Center, an Uber should be fine. If you are going from a terminal/baggage claim, just take a cab.

    If you are at the Marriott you can just hop in the cab stand line at baggage claim.

    Any craft beer lovers on here that are local to Philly?

    I always try and visit new breweries when I can and I'm wondering if you guys have any recommendations for particular ones in Philly.
    I won't change direction, and I won't change my mind - E.V.

    I always try and visit new breweries when I can and I'm wondering if you guys have any recommendations for particular ones in Philly.

    Philly ones in the immediate area would be Saint Benjamin, Yards, and Phila Brewing Company I believe are the only proper breweries in the city that you could easily get to while staying in the city. Outside of the city there's a bunch more - Tired Hands is really good in Ardmore.

    But if you want to taste as much of the Philly in beer form then you'd probably be better off going to really good beer bar, which there are plenty of. For that I'd go Monk's, Eulogy, Bottle Shop (a 6-pack to go place, but with a shit ton of different beer that you can hang out and drink in their place), Sidecar, Garage, South Philly Taproom. There's sooo many more when it comes to bars, but actual Philly breweries in Philly would be Yard, PBC, St. Ben. Oh, and Dock Street out in West Philly.

    Guys, I'm flying into Philly from Boise, Idaho with my wife and 2 sons. Never been to Philly. Not renting a car. Staying at the Hilton Doubletree in city center. Planning to walk around and visit the sights downtown and take the subway to WFC since there is one right across the street and is a straight shot to the venue.

    Getting to and from the airport, I was thinking about Liberty Shuttle (Van). Are these accessible at the airport or should I just get a cab?

    Thoughts and any insight would be appreciated.

    I have never taken one of the vans, but I see them all the time, so I would imagine it would be pretty easy. Taxis are extremely easy. Flat rate of $28.50 with a potential fuel surcharge of a dollar or so then tip from the airport to center city.
