Aired August 30th, 2010 on Bars and Brain Trust. If you’ve been following our big bro site Philebrity the last few days, you’ll already know that we’ve moved lock, stock and barrel to Old City, where an embarrassment of lunch options is already making us giddy with glee. However, a more pressing question looms: Which Old City bar should be our default meeting space/bonding [...]
Aired August 12th, 2010 on Bars, Carribean and Prix Fixe. Adam Kanter (owner and mixologist of Rum Bar) is bringing in Paul Francis Yellin (chef, rum expert) for something they’re calling Rum Fusion. There are two separate menus seating at two different times on Wednesday, August 18th; the concept is fancy rum and Carribean food. The pairings include Sugar Cane Speared Drunken Chicken with Watermelon [...]
Aired August 10th, 2010 on Bars and specials. For a certain strata of aging hipster in Philadelphia, Tattooed Mom’s legendary Taco Tuesdays were where it all happened. But that, of course, was before hip-sprawl conquered the grid and now, somehow, South Street is just two damned far for new school Fishtowners. We’re not saying that sarcastically: We’re getting old. It’s far. So when [...]

Aired July 13th, 2010 on Bars, Beer, Openings and Pizza. Philly’s getting its very own Crocodile (see reptilian brethren: The Alligator Lounge in Williamsburg, The Crocodile Lounge in Gramercy and in Chicago’s Wicker Park) in Old City. The bar’s gimmick is simple: Buy any beer and get a free personal pizza. The PLCB’s gimmick is a little weirder: The Crocodile strictly isn’t allowed to advertise the deal. [...]
Aired June 4th, 2010 on Bars, Beer Week, Props Is Due and The Gays. Everyone’s (read: the resident Philebrity gay’s) favorite gay bar, The Westbury, has a week full of Philly Beer Week events for your queer beer drinking pleasure. What? The hell we say? The hell we say. It’s true!
The Westbury has been under new ownership since August 2009 and has steadily increased its beer selection since [...]

Aired May 17th, 2010 on Bars and Openings. John Klein, owner of The Dive near the tippy-top of East Passyunk Avenue, posted yesterday on Philadelphia Speaks that he’s bought the long-shuttered Bella Rosa at the southwest corner of 10th and Watkins Streets in South Philly. His plan is to turn it into Watkins Drinkery, opening sometime between August and October of this year. [...]
Aired May 17th, 2010 on Bars and Openings. As we’ve reported previously, Cutie McCutiePie Rob McElhenney of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia (and Lost!) bought Skinner’s Dry Goods at 226 Market Street with plans to turn it into his very own bar full of awesome. Word via Philly Insider is that the targeted soft opening of Mac’s Tavern is slated for sometime next [...]
Aired March 1st, 2010 on Animal Rights, Bars and Beer. Oh baby: It doesn’t have to be this way.
Dear Soon-To-Be Newest Bar In Fishtown That Is Tantalizingly Close To Our Office:
So we hear that Adam Ritter of the Sidecar is about to open you soon, and that you’re going to have 24 beers on tap and that you’re probably going to be really, really [...]
Aired February 17th, 2010 on Bars, Beer, Classes, Jargon and Uncategorized. The Foodery is joining forces with Local 44, Nodding Head, and Cantina Dos Segundos to drop a lil’ beer knowledge on us all. Beer classes and tastings are being held at the three bars ($15 per class), and it promises a great opportunity to expand your beer knowledge and vocabulary — as well as taste [...]
