Happy birthday, Khyber Pass Pub
Remember this? When everyone in Philly a militia of infuriated Meal Ticket commenters threatened violent regime change when the owners of The Khyber (56 S. Second St.) announced their intentions to convert the well-heeled rock club into an izakaya? As we know now, that Japanese plan was soon shifted to Queen Village (782 S. Second, where Stephen Simons and Dave Frank are plugging along) and the Khyber became the NOLA-fied Khyber Pass Pub.
I admit it: All of us here at CP/Meal Ticket HQ, who've boozed at the Khyber with across-the-street-from-the-office abandon for years (shoutout to the old bathrooms!), were skeptical as shit — but then we started going in. Everything clicked, not only for CP staffers but for others, too: Our critic Adam Erace loved the food and KPP took the top spot in Foobooz's Top 50 Bars ranking this year, among other nods. Good on y'all.
Tonight, KPP celebrates one year in business by offering drinkers $4 Ridgemont Reserve Manhattans all day. From 4 to 6, they'll do $10 select pitchers, $1.50 domestic bottles and $4 frozen mint juleps in addition to their usual happy-hour pricing ($2 off drafts, $1 off the rest). From 6 to 9, take advantage of $2 deals on Shine shots, Sly Fox and Bluecoat drinks. Finally, from 9 to 11: $2 drafts and $2 Buffalo Trace drinks. Specials on bar snacks, too. Cheers to all of that.
