The crew at East Falls' new Fork & Barrel (4213 Ridge Ave.) is keeping busy with some cool fall events and news at their candlelit bar. The newly opened second floor is pumping an entitely different concept: Cask Saloon, an American, turn-of-the-century-style pub. Head over now for two (of what eventually be four) American casks, as well as 20 different bottles of American craft beer. They are doing sample flights of the bottles on weeks. The food at Cask Saloon features 16 specialty hot dogs (!) and loads of peanuts. Live jazz will eventually be offered up there to round out the American experience. More...

Fork and Barrel is also rolling some events this fall:

- Wednesday, November 17, 7 p.m. | Lee Marren of Stone Brewing will host a $30 four-course meal of four different of specialty hot dogs paired with a firkin of smoked vanilla porter and bottles of 10.10.10 Vertical Epic Ale, Stone San Diego Co. Session Ale, and Double Bastard Ale.
