VBA is a local club that houses a ton of boxing memorabilia and is great for a place to have a few beers and unwind. I have had many successful Christmas parties here over the years and they're always going the distance in service. The price of a beer is very cheap compared to other bars. BTW u don't have to be a member to hang out and watch a Phillies game.

Its such a great bar and hall! All of my family events are planned there. I also enjoy going to the bar and having a few drinks and watch the games! The people there make you feel like family and make you feel like you fit in there! They always welcome you eith open arms. You never feel out of place or uncomfortable and that is most def important because i have been to places before where i felt out of place or they made me feel uncomfortable!
