Get to Know the Philly Filming Locations for ‘It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia’

The American sitcom "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" has been on for 16 seasons, with the 17th debuting on July 9. Although the series is largely shot in Los Angeles, several spots have been shot on location in Philadelphia over the years. 

Danielle Ryan of SlashFilm.com reveals some of the Philly locations that have been featured in the program.

Both of these settings are based in Philadelphia. The exterior shots viewers see of the apartment that Mac and Dennis live in together are at 903 S. Ninth St. in Philadelphia, above the Italian Market in Philadelphia.

After the two guys manage to burn down their apartment, they move in with the character Dee, whose apartment exterior is at 916 Montrose St. in Philadelphia, toward the south side of Philadelphia.

While the actual name "Oldies Rock Cafe" doesn't exist, the filming location for the cafe is at 1201 Filbert St. in Philadelphia. The setting is Maggiano's Little Italy, a high-end Italian chain restaurant. The business might not serve milk steak and raw jellybeans, but you can dine here and enjoy the same atmosphere as the gang from "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia." 

The stoop where the characters Dennis and Dee drink and sing when Mac comes to see them features in only one episode. While drinking liquor out of brown paper bags and listening to Biz Markie's "Just a Friend," the two inform Mac that they're going on welfare as soon as their unemployment runs out. 

The actual stoop is at 752 S. 10th Street in Philadelphia, which is currently a private residence.
