Victor Fiorillo visited the Old Philadelphia Bar in 2018, drawn by its reputation but intrigued by a sign that read, “If you’re not proud to be an American, do not bother to come in.” Inside, a patron, joking about being Mexican, played Lee Greenwood’s “God Bless the USA,” prompting the entire bar to sing along. The bar, known for cheap drinks and nostalgic charm, markets itself as hipster-free, catering to “real men” rather than yuppies. However, its patriotic stance and sign sparked controversy online, with some locals, including a woman with an Indian boyfriend, feeling unwelcome. While supporters see the sign as a celebration of American pride, critics argue it fosters exclusion. The bar manager defended the sentiment, saying, “If you’re in this country, you should be proud to be an American.”
