Philly Area Thread

If your south philly location was based on the site at 17th and synder, Nodding Head has denied it:

Supposedly the quotes in this article are fake and/or someone was impersonating Longacre. Don't believe everything you read I guess. Again - this info came from Curt. They're choosing between two properties very close to one another near SPTR.

I'll be stopping at Tired Hands tomorrow (likely hitting both locations) on the way up to Vermont. Hopefully arriving sometime around 4-4:30pm and staying until maybe 6ish, if anyone wants to meet up for a beer. Thinking Fermentaria first and then the brew cafe for a panini for dinner.

At the brew cafe, just got here. I'm at the bar wearing a grey HF shirt, blue shorts, and glasses.

Thanks for hanging out with us Max, was great to meet you! The Fermenteria was really cool.

Thanks. If only they had given me a new title or more money, it would be great.

We ended up at this place in the burbs called the Churchville Inn that has a really good tap list, including Dorothy and Only Void.

 

[Shakedwnst]

Good choice. Much more on your way too I'd imagine.

New bottle shop opened in Queens Village on 4th St. - Beer Love. Checked it out yesterday, 8 beers on tap (all around $5-6) and a bunch of coolers with bottles. Prices seem to be lower than your typical Foodery/Beer Heaven type spot. I didnt see anything too crazy but there were some solid bottles available in the $10-20 range. Some regular beers (Dales, Summer Love, etc) were like $2.50-3ish. Worth stopping in if you're in the area.

Rookie question, headed to Citizens Bank Park today for the first time for phils/mets. Any craft selection?

Wow, very helpful and precise. Thanks man. Should be a good one. I was wrong, this won't be my first time at cpb, went once as a kid I forgot.

CBP has only been open since 2004. I don't know how old you are, but if you are mistaken and actually went to Veterans Stadium as a kid, be advised that CBP is not the cavernous dumpster you might be recalling. It's actually nice.

 

[usdog]

yeah i went in 2005

A friend is staying at 17th and Sansom and we want to watch football at a bar nearish there. Any suggestions. I cannot for the life of me think of places that have tvs and good beer.

The Foodery on Sansom has TVs, I believe.

Good Dog and Jose Pistola's are always solid. You're also a pretty close walk to the Cambridge or Strangelove's. Foodery is way closer than those two, but I don't really care for the atmosphere there.

 

[Shakedwnst]

Bru is only a couple blocks and should have the game on. Can't think of much in Rittenhouse that has beer and TVs

Forgot about this place. They usually have a pretty good list. Perch Pub is also close and they usually have a good selection.

yeah, if you like STAIRS

 

[Shakedwnst]

Pistola's also usually has a pretty nice list. Haven't made it there yet though so can't speak to the TVs.

Bru is a soccer bar though so plenty of nice flat screens around.
