There’ll be more to this story as the days (as in the next 48 hours) go on, and you’ll find out more about the immediateness of the deal in the upcoming edition of Icepack. But know this — as of this past Friday, Dec. 5, Brett Perloff has officially taken over "the nightlife venue at 2029 Walnut Street in Philadelphia, formerly known as Monkey Bar."
We knew that Perloff was readying something within Rittenhouse; he still has a 25 percent stake in Pearl on Chestnut Street even though he's no longer part of the day-to-day process ("irreconcilable differences," says Perloff of his relationship with the Stein family). He's still involved with one-off DJ/club events around the area. We were just waiting for Perloff to land his own location.
The deal, essentially, in non-legal speak in regards to the Monkey — Perloff's got the space and is running it as is until the sign comes down (soon) and he "re-concepts," starting at the beginning of January 2009, into something he calls a "high-end boutique bottle bar" with food created and outsourced by a local restaurateur TBD. Stay tuned.
