Philly Special 

A $4 drink order that includes a shot of house whiskey and a bottle of Pabst Blue Ribbon. It is tradition to down the shot and pound the beer immediately upon receiving the order. Although it is widely known, it can be difficult to locate an establishment that will honor the Philly Special.

Man "Hello barkeep! I'll have a Philly Special"
Barkeep "Sorry, we don't do that here."
