NOW OPEN: Drinker's West

Wanted to snag a pint or two before dinner at Sang Kee last night, so figured it was a great opportunity to pop into the brand-new Drinker's West (3900 Chestnut St., 215-397-4693), in the former O'Hara's Fish House. Open for a week, this cavernous 4 Corners space is probably the most beautiful out of all of the Philly boozy conglomerate's locations � soaring ceilings, wide-open booth and stool seating, lots of dark wood, neat vintage-lookin' tiled floors, bars on both the ground level and the 100-head mezzanine.

The menu is big, featuring the finger foods served at the other Drinker's locations, an affordable sandwich/taco lineup (topping out at $8) and a small collection of 12- or 16-inch pizzas. You can build your own pie or order up one of four signatures (taco, buffalo, spicy pulled pork or cheeseburger). A dozen beers on tap, including Lion's Head � haven't seen that on draft in a minute! After the jump, the full menu and a rundown of daily food and drink specials.

Drinker's West is open Tuesday to Friday from 5 to 2 and Saturday and Sunday from noon to 2.

NOTE: This post has been corrected � though the working name the space was originally Tom Drinker's West, it is now officially known as Drinker's West.

The menu looks like it has some awesome add-ons to the drinker's pub menu + new pizzas (they very good at Noche so I assume they are great here too.) I got to try the fish tacos when they were experimenting in the kitchen at the pub and they were AWESOME.



and the only bar out of the six with salads as a main course. Very cool. 



To think I am still excited about the food after eating it on a weekly basis when I work.
