Philly to get its tiki bar
If you're one of the many Philly drinkers who've loudly lamented that there's nowhere to acquire dangerously powerful drinks of the Polynesian persuasion, cast your hazy orgeat gaze to spring 2012 - that's when Philly's first proper tiki bar will be arriving.
Philly to get its tiki bar
If you're one of the many Philly drinkers who've loudly lamented that there's nowhere in the 215 to acquire dangerously powerful drinks of the Polynesian persuasion, cast your hazy orgeat gaze to spring 2012 — that's when Philly's first proper tiki bar will be arriving. As of Jan. 1, Matt Scheller and Matt and Colleen Swartz of The Farmers' Cabinet (1113 Walnut St.) will have a lease in hand for the huge Frank Furness-designed building at 600 Spring Garden, most recently operating as a club called 90 Degrees (Transit and The Bank before that). While they'll dedicate the ground floor to an as-yet-undetermined concept, the basement of the space, which resembles the inside of a ship, will be all tiki all the time. Bartenders Phoebe Esmon and Christian Gaal, both of whom work behind the F-Cab bar, will design the entire cocktail program, consisting of around 10 tiki classics and 10 originals. You should also expect huge shareable tiki bowls (think Flaming Volcano) and an "American dimsum" menu (think pu pu platter). Get geeked.
I hope it's complete with Lounge/Exotica music!!!!! If they need a DJ, I know someone(s) who can do it!— phillygrub- Never I thought I would think this about a Tiki Bar, but this sounds totaly cool, kind of like 1950's style.— SLP2009
