Good Dog team bringing The Industry to Pennsport

Center City's Good Dog (224 S. 15th St.) has long been a refuge for Philly's "in-the-biz" types, so much so that partners Dave Garry, Heather Gleason and Tom Darby are taking that rep and spinning it into an entirely separate concept. They're working on opening The Industry (1401-1403 E. Moyamensing Ave.), a 'hood-friendly bar/restaurant in the old Pennsport space that was The Witch.

While the 80-seater will welcome everyone (no servers-only handshakes or secret knocks needed), they're catering aggressively to those in the hospitality realm, offering a seven-day-a-week discount to all industry workers and serving both dinner (till 1 a.m.) and weekend brunch (till 4 p.m.) late. Chef Pat Szoke, who's worked at spots like The Farm and Fisherman, Buddakan and Vetri, will cook a menu of honest plates that sounds very post-shift chef-snack friendly (teasers after the jump — we want a Hillbilly Philly). Bartender Bob Achilles, who many of you know as that friendly English guy at Loco Pez, is doing the cocktails (tomato-water Bloodys, a shareable "Mummer's Punch" bowl), and they'll pour from 12 drafts and 10-glass wine list, as well. Opening is slated only for "spring" at this point; they're on Facebook and Twitter.

Dinner:

- Housemade charcuterie
- Beer can poussin, young chicken smoked over a beer can
- Bone marrow with shallot marmalade and house-baked foccacia
- Shaved vegetable Salad featuring a rotating array of fresh vegetables
- Black pepper sausage with pickled baby carrots and fennel
- Potted trout
- Buffalo sweetbreads

Brunch:

- Sweet and savory house-baked breads
- Shrimp and grits
- Duck confit hash with eggs
- Hillbilly Philly: fried chicken topped with cheddar cheese and sausage gravy served on a biscuit
- Burger Benedict: sliders served on English muffins topped with a quail egg and beer cheese fondue
- Housemade granola, topped with Meyer lemon-infused yogurt and fresh fruit
