Bridget Foy's South Street Grill
200 South Street, ph: 215-922-1813.
In the middle of the wild crowds of
South Street, Bridget
Foy's is a quiet, cozy place to enjoy a beer from one of the twelve or
so taps and dive into a meal of chicken, burgers, seafood, etc.
This
was a pleasant place with good beer and tasty food. |

Dickens Inn
2nd St. Headhouse Square, ph: 215-928-9307.
This beautiful English pub is a maze of
dining rooms
and small bars on two floors. Dickens offers the standard pub
taps
with English Ales, American standards, and ciders. Around twenty
taps are usually available along with above average pub fare.
Dart
fans will find several lanes upstairs in two different bar rooms. |

Ludwig's Garten
1315 Sansom Street, ph: 215-985-1525.
This very enjoyable German pub and
restaurant was an
incredible find! We drank wonderful beers such as Bocks, Double
Bocks,
and Hefeweizens -- and the authentic German cuisine is extremely
delicious
and filling. This place is like a little slice of Bavaria in the
heart of Philadelphia. |
|
Monk's Cafe
264 South 16th Street, ph: 215-545-7005.
Monk's Cafe really lives up to its
reputation as one
of the best Belgian pubs and restaurants in the United States.
There
is an extensive list of hard-to-find Belgian ales here. The
Belgian
dishes made with beer are a treat as well -- be sure to sample the
mussels
steamed in Belgian White beer. Try to arrive early for dinner, as
this place fills up quickly. |
|
Moriarty's Pub
1116 Walnut Street, ph: 215-627-7676.
Moriarty's is an attractive English pub
with a long
wooden bar on the right. The walls are full of interested photos
and memorabilia, and a really nice selection of bottled and draft beer
is available. This pub always seems comfortable and quiet -- even
if it is full of people. The beer prices are reasonable too. |
|
O'Neal's Pub
611 South 3rd Street, ph: 215-574-9495.
This is a gritty pub that is full of
regulars with lots
of personality. The beer selection is impressive with 14 taps and
too many bottled versions to count. There is also a cask beer
engine
(ask for a small taste before you order from the beer engine to be sure
the selection is fresh). O'Neal's is right off popular South
Street. |
|
Sugar Mom's Church Street Lounge
225 Church Street, ph: 215-925-8219.
This is a funky, bohemian hangout that
is located in
what was once a sugar/candy factory. The beer selection includes
many fun microbrews from the region and a nice array of quality
imported
beers. Ask for one of the strong bottled Belgian Ales. The
bar is filled with couches, games, and weird posters. |
|
Wichita Steaks and Brews
22 South 3rd Street, ph: 215-627-4825.
This is steakhouse/beer bar has a huge,
wide open downstairs
with some interesting paintings on the walls. There are 60 draft
beer taps with a nice choice of regional ales. Be sure to ask for
a tiny sample before you order a full glass of draft beer, because I
hear
that some are not as fresh as others. There is a lovely, large,
wooden
bar and a menu full of red meat dishes. |
