Local Favorites
Voorhees thrives on friendly pubs where the bartenders remember your order and the regulars are happy to share local tips.
- Dooney’s Pub – Voorhees A go-to for many residents, Dooney’s blends an Irish pub sensibility with South Jersey hospitality. Expect a welcoming crowd, a deep tap list featuring regional brews, and a menu headlined by wings, burgers, and Irish-inspired comfort food. The atmosphere is upbeat without being overwhelming, and you’ll often find game-day specials, occasional trivia, and seasonal promotions that keep things fresh. It’s the sort of place where you can pop in for a quick pint after work and end up staying to watch the second half of the game.
- PJ Whelihan’s Pub + Restaurant – Voorhees Part of a local favorite group of pubs, PJ’s is well-known for crispy wings, an easy-drinking beer lineup, and wall-to-wall TVs—making it a natural choice for sports fans. The vibe is casual and family-friendly earlier in the evening, with a livelier crowd closer to game times and weekends. Specials vary by season, but happy hour deals and event nights like themed trivia or local fundraisers are common. It’s also a reliable spot for groups, thanks to plenty of seating and fast service.

Sports Bars and Entertainment Hubs
If your ideal night out includes catching the Sixers, Eagles, Phillies, or Flyers with fellow fans, Voorhees and its nearby towns have you covered.
- Dooney’s Pub – Voorhees (Sports Central) Beyond being a local favorite, Dooney’s is a strong pick on big game days.

- PJ Whelihan’s – Voorhees (Wings + Wall-to-Wall TVs) PJ’s is built for sports viewing—ample TVs, buckets and wing specials during major games, and a steady buzz that never feels too loud to chat. On non-game nights, look for entertainment like themed trivia or music bingo that draws a fun weeknight crowd and gives you an easy reason to meet up with friends.
- Victory Bar & Grill – West Berlin (Minutes from Voorhees) Just a short drive from Voorhees on Route 73, Victory Bar & Grill offers a classic sports bar experience with lots of seating, plentiful screens, and occasional live music.

- Caffé Aldo Lamberti – Cherry Hill A South Jersey institution, Lamberti’s sophisticated bar scene features a deep wine list with Italian highlights and thoughtful cocktails.

Late-Night Hotspots
When the evening stretches past dinner and you’re not ready to call it a night, a few reliable spots in and around Voorhees keep the lights on late—especially Thursdays through Saturdays.
- Dooney’s Pub – Voorhees One of the most dependable late-night options close to home. On weekends, you can typically expect service past midnight, with a kitchen that stays open later than many sit-down restaurants. Crowds ebb and flow with game schedules and seasonal events.
- PJ Whelihan’s – Voorhees Weekends often mean later hours, a steady playlist, and a crowd that skews conversational rather than clubby. If you’re looking for something social without the intensity of a dance floor, PJ’s is a safe bet.
- Chickie’s & Pete’s – Marlton A short ride up Route 73, this well-known regional sports bar is famous for Crabfries and late-night energy. On weekends and during marquee sporting events, it’s often open late enough to serve as a final stop before heading home.
Remember: closing times can vary by day and season, and New Jersey municipalities set local rules. If you plan to hop between spots, consider safe transportation. PATCO Speedline connects nearby towns like Haddonfield and Collingswood to Philadelphia with late service, and rideshare coverage is strong in the Voorhees area.
