Ben McNamara in at PBR
New chef at Old City's Philadelphia Bar & Restaurant (120 Market St.), open since 2010: Ben McNamara, an early practitioner of elevated pub cooking at New Wave Café (check the CP review from 2000!), then later Dark Horse Pub and St. Stephens Green. The revamped menu's got dishes like crab risotto arancini, bangers and mash and five types of grilled cheese, plus daily specials. There's also room here for his signature Isabella Salad (warm goat cheese, toasted walnuts, roasted peppers, grilled portobellos, greens, balsamic vin) and the chronically underappreciated diner burger off chef Jordan "Red" Sauter's opening menu. (He's moved on to a gig with Whole Foods.) McNamara will do brunch, too, rocking pancakes, omelettes, fried chicken and other hangover zappers Saturday and Sunday
McNamara's arrival coincides with a step up in PBR's craft beer game — they just installed two beer engines and have a bunch of brewery nights scheduled. Tonight from 5 to 8, swing by for a Ballast Point event boasting barrel-aged versions of Three Sheets Barleywine and Sextant Oatmeal Stout.
