NOW OPEN: East Girard Gastropub
Rob Holloway, who purchased Fathom Seafood House from partner Mike Stollenwerk in October (Stollenwerk also sold Little Fish to focus on the about-to-relocate Fish), has finished all the tweaks required to make the Fishtown corner bar his own. The chef has officially been running the space as East Girard Gastropub (200 E. Girard Ave., 267-751-9343) — call it The E.G.G. — for a week.
The big ol' bar is still the focal point of the room, but there are now new tables, new lighting and new paint; the main old-to-new shift, though, can be found on the menu. "There's meat," laughs Holloway when asked what distinguishes Egg's food from Fathom's. While they've kept the raw bar station for oysters, you can now order burgers, hanger steak, housemade bangers and lobster mac 'n' cheese with housemade cavatelli during dinner nightly. Lobster empanadas have been a big hit, too. (Full menu on Facebook.) There's also Sunday brunch from noon to 3 p.m., with options like crab hash omelettes, challah Fresh toast and grits and eggs. Holloway has a grand opening party planned for Thursday, Jan. 12.
UPDATE [5 p.m.]: Added latest version of Egg's menu after the jump (click to enlarge).
