BERKS COUNTY, Pa. — At Bertie’s Inn in Exeter Township, fans filled the tables.

Families. Friends. And even birthday celebrations.

“I’ve always been a Flyers fan, most of Philly,” said Stacey Eckert.

For Eckert, it was about more than just the games.

“It’s a beautiful day to be outside and sitting and enjoying company. This place is really down to earth and incorporates all kinds of sports. It’s just a great atmosphere,” she said.

At the same table, another fan celebrated with what he calls his “adopted family.”

“I have no real family in Reading, so my friends — that’s my family,” said Richard Davidson.

“We typically get pretty packed. We have fun here,” said Adrianna Schwab, bartender manager.

Staff say when Philly teams are playing, the energy changes.

“The vibes are good. The energy is good. We have a bell that we ring for all the Philly sports, but specifically for the Phillies when they score home runs. It’s just really fun,” Schwab said.

And with both the Flyers and Sixers in the playoffs, expectations are high.

“Usually, we’ve got a good crowd coming in right away. We’re excited with all the sports because Saturday, the same teams played. We had about 255 guests total, so a pretty packed house,” said Madison Kennedy, bartender/manager.

The restaurant also has some brand-new T-shirts.

“We have two new prints for Bertie’s. We have a Bertie’s Flyers shirt. It says ‘beer, food, hockey, repeat.’ And then the back says ‘have fun, be kind.’ And we have a new Philly shirt this year,” Kennedy said.

Meanwhile, at P.J. Whelihan’s in Spring Township, kitchen manager Eddie Soto said nights like this bring a different kind of energy.

“If you’re a Philly fan, you know this is a big day for us. Flyers are playing really good, probably, if not, one of the hottest teams in hockey right now,” Soto said.

He said with multiple games happening at the same time, the crowd stays there all night.

“It almost feels like you’re at the game without being in Philly,” Soto said.

Staff say game days often mean packed tables.

“It means a lot to us. We’re a real big Philly sports-based company. We’re big on promoting Eagles, Phillies, Flyers, Sixers,” Soto added.
