Second St.), opens to the public today, serving a homey, Southern-style menu from chef Mark McKinney.We dropped by last night for a little sneak peek. The band room off to the north side of the space, host to countless performances over the years, has been completely redone, and it looks damn good - polished hard-wood floors, fancy-free new ceiling, a long pub-style banquette reaching from end to end. The bar side of the biz has been kept mostly the same, the biggest addition being an upped tap system the brings the draft options from 12 to 20. (They'll now offer half-pints and pitchers, too.)

Ashley:

Last night it was a good mix of locals (I had a few Yards Philly Pales of course) and various craft beers from around the country. The tap list is being curated by Jeremy Thomson, who was the daytime bartender at the Khyber and did all the ordering etc, so it's guaranteed to be good, he's the man!

Wow, not that it's a bad thing, but that room just looks strange as a dining room.
