Farmers' Cabinet crew to close Fork & Barrel, Tap & Table
Just heard from Matt Swartz, who just opened Farmers' Cabinet at 1113 Walnut with partners Colleen Swartz (his wife) and Matt Scheller, regarding the status of the team's East Falls beer bar Fork & Barrel (4213 Ridge Ave.) — which has been rumored to be closing — as well as their Emmaus gastropub, Tap & Table. Check out Swartz's full statement, in which he addresses the future of both venues, after the jump.
It's been a great year at Fork & Barrel in East Falls, but we made a business decision to close since The Farmers' Cabinet has so many of the same elements. We hope that our Fork & Barrel customers will continue to visit us in the city. We've also decided to close Tap and Table in Emmaus and bring the concept to Philadelphia in the coming months. The new restaurant will also have an Old World atmosphere, a menu based on fresh-ingredients including fondue, mussels, flatbreads, sandwiches and entrees and will feature American and European craft beers. We've had incredible opening success at The Farmers’ Cabinet and look forward to our next venture in the city. The Bookstore, our 1920s speakeasy, in Bethlehem will remain open.
Got all that? Fork & Barrel is closing. Tap & Table in closing as it exists in Emmaus, but there are plans to bring it to Philly. And The Bookstore in Bethlehem will be staying open as-is.
