Collegeville has no shortage of great places to grab a drink, but locals all seem to flock to Da Vinci’s Pub at one time or another. The reasons why are manifold: it’s got a classic vibe updated with modern technology. Located in the former home of Harpoon Louie’s, the décor has tons of carved wood accents and solid construction that make it feel like it’s been around forever. Many nights an acoustic guitar player provides entertainment that doesn’t intrude on conversations, which is welcome. Service is exceptional, with the staff drawing raves from patrons for their pleasant attitudes and speedy delivery. The bar boasts a solid selection of microbrews on tap, as well as a decent array of wines and some popular mixed drinks. Food is high-quality pub grub, with special raves going to the blackened chicken, which is moist and toothsome. Be aware that on weekends the place gets packed and overflows all available street parking, so you might have to walk a little bit.
