Busy bees at Bridgid's

Bridgid's (726 N. 24th St., 215-232-3232, bridgids.com) has been killing it lately in the onward-ho department ï¿½ in addition to new chalk-friendly tapboards (see right), they've applied a few aesthetic tweaks to the interior (new carpets, fresh paint ... new stools and AC coming later this summer!).

On top of this, they're planning mondo events in the coming weeks. If you're planning on booing seeing Sheryl Crow on July 4, stop at the neighborhood tappie, where they'll be sidewalk grilling, cooking up eats like burgers, braised pork and hanger steak sandwiches and sausage and peppers. Three days later, July 7, they'll be holding a fundraiser to support relief efforts in Haiti. One other in-the-works event of note ï¿½ President Obama's birthday, Aug. 3, will be Beer Geek Valhalla at Bridgid's, when they'll tap a keg of super-rare, limited-edition Obamagang Inauguration Ale in addition to several other tough-to-find brews.

Current bad-ass draft list after the jump.
