The Philadelphia region has an often-lauded dining scene, with many award-winning restaurants and bars in the Bucks County area. Staff writers at Visit Philadelphia wrote about the local spots.

Determined adventurers who are looking for something different can find a true treasure trove of secret, underground, or otherwise hidden spots that can make for a memorable outing – for those who manage to find them.

The Cage Cocktail Bar in Warrington and Pretty Bird Smash Burgers in Yardley are among these spots.

The Cage Cocktail Bar is a hidden speakeasy inside a chain pizza joint. To reach it, you must walk through the dining room of the Select Pizza & Grill. The Instagram-friendly bar is decorated in bird cages and living garden walls and features locally sourced hand-made mixes and ingredients.

The drinks range from classic mainstays like martinis to those with creative twists, such as the weekend mimosa towers.

Meanwhile, Pretty Bird Coffee, a popular local café, offers a tasty secret by night, when it transforms into the sizzling Pretty Bird Smash Burgers. The eatery boasts a small menu filled with delicious Angus beef burgers, fries, and salads. There is also a selection of beers across the street at Vault Brewing Company.
