Pub And Kitchen: Pabbit Perfection

We’re speechless. The Windsor Burger at Pub and Kitchen is the best beefpattyexcursion in the city. We said it. We stand by it. There can be only one, and on this point let there be no debate. We’ve already eaten three and they’ve only been open a week or so. We’re disgusted with ourselves. We […]

The Not-So-New Guy On The Block

There’s been a lot of talk recently about chef Micheal Zulli leaving The South Philadelphia Taproom. But never fear dedicated patrons, all is not lost. Scott Schroeder, currently chef at the Latest Dish, is coming to save the day. Schroeder has made his way around Philly from Deuce, Brasserie Perrier, Jake’s and Royal Tavern. He […]

SPTR’s Zulli Days Go The Way Of The Buffalo

The Michael Zulli era is over at 15th and Mifflin. The South Philadelphia Tap Room has announced they will be premiering a new menu and head chef come October. Their release, posted on Foobooz, apologizes to their patrons who they feel they have “disappointed” during Zulli’s time. Ouch! For now, they will offer what they […]

G-Ho/Fitler Square/Rittenhouse To Be Graced By Pub & Kitchen In September

While we sense an argument in the works as to exactly which neighborhood Dan Clark’s new spot Pub & Kitchen is — as well as one about whether or not we can call it a “gastropub” — we don’t think anyone will argue much about his hiring of Jonathan McDonald. McDonald — recently seen in […]

Sneak Peek: The North Star’s New Dining Room

Back in April, we reported on the North Star Bar’s ongoing culinary re-invention. What a difference a month or two makes. Behold, the new upstairs dining room, slated to open… soon. We’ll have some menu details soon as well. In the meantime, can we just say? I want to sip tea and debate Wittgenstein in […]

South Philly Tap Room Transforms Menu, Reputation, And More, All While Looking To The Office For Advertising Tips

If you’ve ever walked past the requisite bar/restaurant in 30th Street Station — it’s called Bridgewater’s Pub, btw — and paused to ponder the appearance of yak or poutine on the chalkboard out front, you’ve been admiring the handiwork of exec chef Michael Zulli. Thing is, you’d have to be in 30th Street Station […]

The Once-Over: Devil’s Den

The opening of Devil’s Den just off of Washington Avenue means less crawling to the Pope and Cantina in SoPhi for us. We’ve actually been to this South Philly den of sin twice now. At exactly 6:20 PM on opening night, a fire broke out in the kitchen. Drinks continued to flow at the bar, […]

First Look: New Dining Room At The North Star Bar

There was a time, back in the early 90s — you were just a child, most likely — when Fairmount’s landmark North Star Bar was known as much for its food as it was for its music. Back in the day, the North Star introduced the city to zydeco, lots of present-day WXPN-fare, and as […]

Alt-Weekly Runs List Of Good Bars As Cover Story! Blog Plans Addendum!

We’re wondering what exactly the polling method was for Philadelphia Weekly’s “Philly’s Top 50 Bars” cover story today was, and how soon they came up with it after they got wind that City Paper was doing a Beer Week cover story, too. But we cannot argue with the results: Grace Tavern is first, McGlinchey’s is […]

Crazy, Man, Crazy: Zot Spawns Upstairs Lounge

Just off Headhouse Square, Belgian joint Zot is spawning a new upstairs lounge this weekend. Friday night is an invite-only grand opening, but after that, it’ll be open to the general public. Sayeth the release:
Introducing Zotikot…
Zot means “a crazy fool.” Zotikot is a house of crazy fools, a nuthouse, an asylum…
Chef Bernard Dehaene of Zot […]
