Dirty Frank's in Center City temporarily raised its minimum entry age to 25 after a surge of college-age patrons and increasingly sophisticated fake Pennsylvania IDs. A confiscated fake ID featured a photo of Ben Franklin, listed age 24, and used the Liberty Bell as an address, prompting immediate action.
