My experience though is unlike some other rooms, people playing 2/5 generally are not buying in at the cap. Decent food, but the drink service is pretty slow. Very, very convenient to central Philly, and therefore one of the easiest rooms to get to from NYC if you don't have a car, there are obviously tons of ways to get to Philly from NYC.
Agree with this almost totally, I've played 2-5 there only at the weekends that I'm already winning (I'm generally only playing 1-2/1-3 when I'm there as when in Philly am usually visiting mates and drinking), but in my experience then it is playing generally deep??
The drink service is pretty terrible but I run to the pizza place and buy a PBR tall boy for $2 instead of paying $1 tip for smaller awful beer when I'm drinking. Or just say **** it and try to get others at the table who aren't drinking to order shots alongside. If I'm not drinking there's a massive bowl full of waters you can take for free on the wall to the right of the cage (as you face it).
If you're just balling and don't care then go to the frog and chop house Hugo's and pay for a proper drink (they have servers ducking about too if you want).
