..."The Eagles are coming off one of the best seasons in franchise history, picking up an NFC Championship title with a team that included eight Pro Bowlers. Staico said he had feeling it wouldn’t be the last Super Bowl appearance, for either team.
“I think it was a perfect storm as far as two teams getting there,” Staico said. “They are the two best teams. The way it looks now, I think it’s gonna be the Eagles again with the Chiefs.
Despite the Chiefs allegiance, everyone is welcome at the bar regardless of whether you’re an Eagles fan, or if you aren’t even into the sport. One of the bar’s loyal patrons, Dennis Schuler, said the neighborhood always comes first.
“We may be a Kansas City Chiefs bar on a corner, but at the end of the day, we are all born and raised in South Philly,” Schuler said. “We have Eagles fans here, we have Chiefs fans here, we have fans from every team imaginable here. At the end of the day, everybody’s welcome here.”
