Lucky Old Souls coming to Newbold

kitchenplay has dropped word of a new project coming to the Newbold neighborhood: Lucky Old Souls, a bar, restaurant and live music venue planned for the 1700 block of McKean Street. The two-story space is the brainchild of�Matthew Feldman, who hosts a jazz show of the same name on G-Town Radio.

They're still looking for a chef, so don't expect food details for awhile, but they'll work off a local/sustainable approach:

Lucky Old Souls will start out with a seasonal menu consisting of small plates, sandwiches and entr�es, all served in the evening. Possible future plans include adding weekday lunch and/or weekend brunch. As with the food menu, the emphasis at the bar will be on local products, with six draft beers on tap from nearby breweries. Bottled beers, wine and soft drinks will round out the selection.

As of right now, they're aiming for an early 2010 opening.

Can't wait!  Philly needs more live music venues, and Newbold needs more bars!

I'm really excited that new bars and venues are opening up in this area...this is only a few blocks south of me.  If the shows are half as good as the Moonstone shows Feldman runs, it'll be fantastic.  I can't wait!

    sure.. music is great... but money made it happen, unfairly.. the PLCP broke their own rule.. the church on the same block couldnt afford a lawyer... so, it was passed....no fair
