If you feel like hitting up more places than Monk's, here is a list of taps within walking distance: http://www.phillytapfinder.com/hood/rittenhouse/
I'll be opening a few bottles with a friend tonight at 10pm at Jon's Bar and Grille. Pm if interested in joining or stopping by for a brew.
Something amazing happened when I drank Bellcracker - I was transported back to the 2008. Well maybe not, but that IPA tastes like a brewer clinging to history.
I just imagine Don Russel and his disciples ordering the beers and yearning for the good old days. To be fair their flagship lager is really tasty, but everything else I've had has been so boring it hurts.
Well, if you liked the Iron Hill RIS, 2SP's tastes exactly like it.
There is nothing between the University and the airport, so nix that. Otherwise, I guess maybe City Tap House would work? It's west a little between 39th and 40th but that's not far from Penn. Similar to the Logan location, the drafts are generally extensive but expensive. Tons of room there and I figure they wouldn't mind you staying a long time if you're buying drinks and such. Others may have more experience than me though.
shadowane is right, but you can make it to the airport in less than 20 minutes from pretty much anywhere near center city and the surrounding areas. I'm not sure what time it opens, but Fountain Porter may fit the bill. One of my absolute favorite places. Great draft list, good vibes, and will likely be pretty open at that time. You will be at the airport in 15 minutes from their door step.
That's true, I was thinking of the train. I still haven't been to Fountain Porter. I so rarely get to South Philly.
Yea if he's tied to the train, options are much more limited given size/crowds of the places in close proximity to the train. For an extra $20, I'd take the cab and have an experience more in line with his expectations.
Not sure about an airport fare. Probably roughly equivalent. A cab from 10th and Tasker should only run about $25 (so actually probably $15 less than the train). Last time I took a regular Uber to the airport from Center City and almost **** at the price - over $70!!!
Pizzeria Vetri is also very close and very delicious. They also often have Tired Hands on draft. Alla Spina is also close by and likely to have several Tired Hands and other good drafts (e.g. Carton drafts).
I mean, Center City isn't teeming with places that will let you sit at a table with board games for 4 hours. I could have suggested places in fish town, northern liberties, etc, but want to keep him close to the airport, which is ya know, south of most of the city.
Nope, definitely fits the bill. Beers are solid, but nothing remarkable.
Yeah that's true, I honestly hadn't thought about that.
Nice. What's the timing between end of conference and flight?
Conference is out at noon and flight is at 6. If we had 3 hours to chill and play a game that would make me very happy.
