Thanks guys. A couple expected spots which is good. I need to make sure they serve Miller Lite I guess too.

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.

City Tap House Logan at 18th and Arch. Huuuuge screen and lots of good beer.

Perch Pub is also close and they usually have a good selection.

Perch Pub is closing FYI. Not sure when but they are demolishing the building. Enjoy it whileyou can

Oh ****, is that the corner where they are building that new ultra-lux hotel?

Yup. Varalli already closed.

hmm, not a bad choice actually. I work across from there too. A bit overpriced but they'll have ****** beer too at least.

Double Dose around? This week or next? Gave up on finding this in NJ the last two years.

Wegman's Montgomeryville had it yesterday afternoon. 17.99 per 4 pk.

We decided to just do Tap House Logan for football. Most tvs, convenient location, and pretty big. Not the best in terms of food, beer, or pricing compared to the others, but it'll do. Just to be sure, though, does anyone know if they have Miller Lite or whatever in bottles? My friend only drinks that apparently.

Does he also not have a phone in addition to his crappy taste in beer?

I tried twitter and their website! I was going to call but am just lazy at the moment. Hell, I'm across the street from there, I could just walk over. But really I just thought this thread is boring.

 

[Shakedwnst]

Trying to spice it up a little too....


Just not sure this is the right audience to ask about Miller lite bottles.

 

[user 305778]

Fair but some of you must slum it sometimes!

Still haven't been over to Crime and Punishmebt. What has the general opinion been?

Thoreau Like A Girl probably has a more developed opinion than mine, but it's been averageish to me. They aren't bad, but none of their beers have been particularly impressive. The Grodzskie is good though it's a smoked sour so a bit odd. Their gose was kind of terrible and even the cherry berliner just wasn't very flavorful. No comment on food as I haven't had any. Probably good though since it's pirogies and sausage.

3 different berliner-ish offerings and im only learning about this place now? Wow I suck.

I'm guessing that speaks volumes about the place.

Yeah pretty much. It's nice for a neighborhood place but it has room to grow.

Just heard that North Star was sold and will be closing for renovations and opening under a new name. The article I saw said the new owners will be offering "better food" and "even better beer." I really hope this becomes a go-to place for Fairmount/Brewerytown. We could definitely use some better beer options.

 

[user 305778]

Huh. Will it still be a music venue? This would have been nice when I lived basically across the street from it. Not that I'm far now, but I never go in that direction.

Also, to those concerned, City Tap House has bud light bottles apparently.

I think the music venue is closing and they will be opening an outdoor beer garden. I never really make it north of Brown, but I'd certainly be willing for the right spot.

Interesting. People will be disappointed about the music part closing down but oh well. A nice bar / restaurant should well there.

Dude. Change that. I'm 1/2 block above Girard. I promise you wont get stabbed [more than once]

Their booking has been horrendous ever since they switched booking people a couple years ago. I havent been to a show there in prob 3+ years. Which is saying a lot considering I was there about once a week for shows circa 2005-2010.
Kinda cant say im sad to see them becoming something else

Gonna be in Philly for the weekend....Any bars/restaurants that have a solid lambic list?

 

[Shakedwnst]

Nope, there's no lambic in philly.

 

[Thoreau Like A Girl]

You've obviously never been to Oscar's Tavern and McGlinchey's

 

[Shakedwnst]

I also forgot about the $45 bottles of American Lambic at Hawthornes
