Great moments in drunk food: The Kensington Happy Meal at El Bar
As you may have noticed, I really like the El Bar (1356 N. Front St.). Part of the draw of the Fishtown watering hole is how cheap it is, thrifty pricing that extends to what they call the Kensington Happy Meal.
Great moments in drunk food: The Kensington Happy Meal at El Bar
As you may have noticed, I really like the El Bar (1356 N. Front St.). Part of the draw of the Fishtown watering hole is how cheap it is, thrifty pricing that extends to what they call the Kensington Happy Meal. For a measly $5, you get two hot dogs, a PBR tall boy, a bag of chips and a prize. The idea originates with one of the bartenders, whom everyone refers to as Fish. "A lot of construction workers come in here for lunch and happy hour. They're always ordering hot dogs and beer, so [Fish] figured, 'Why not put it all together and make it a special?'" says Christi Finley, who's worked at El Bar for more than three years. The bar has been offering this special (not to be confused with the Citywide) for a few months and plans to keep it going until interest dies down. The deal stops at 7 p.m., so if you're planning to make a night of it, get there early.
