Inside look at Ladder 15

Meal Ticket dropped by Ladder 15 (1528 Sansom St.) yesterday to grab some pics and details for y'all.

Though word the other day was that the gargantuan gastropub from the Mad River guys would not open to the public until next Friday, partner Mike Kearney tells us they'll definitely by up and running for any and all patrons next Thursday, March 26 at 9 p.m. They'll be offering passed menu samples until next Sunday, when they'll kick off with regular daily hours of 11 a.m. to 2 a.m.

The space, an old firehouse, has an interesting feel � it's a bit like an industrial ski lodge, what with all the mahogany and steel intermingling throughout. A fireplace framed by a container full of birch logs sits on the ground floor between two bars; on the mezzanine level, a series of two-top tables rest next to cage walls filled with rocks. (Kind of hard to explain � check the pic above.) Plasmas throughout. A third floor, which will be available for private parties, should be ready in about a month's time, says co-owner Max Tucker.

After the jump, check out the latest menu (some minor changes from this one), specialty cocktail list and beer/wine lists.

This place had the same tragic crowd on Saturday night that Mad River gets in OC- The Coors Light flows like wine here. I've already given up on it.
