Landmark Americana Tap and Grill (3333 Market St.) opened this past Saturday in University City. The first two locations (Glassboro, N.J. and West Chester, Pa.) are also situated near college campuses (Rowan and West Chester, respectively). GM Tom Revelli, who's worked all three establishments, says these niche communities — a good mixture of students and corporate professionals — does well with their concept. "Here, we expect lots of people to trickle in before and after Drexel's games,” he says, due to Landmark's coordinates, on the ground level of Drexel's Rec Center facing Market Street. (Drexel men's coach Bruiser Flint even stopped by for a bite while we were there.)

Menu offerings are mostly sandwiches, salads and traditional bar fare like quesadillas and buffalo wings, but there are also a few large entrées, like potato-crusted sea bass and lobster ravioli. We sampled the spicy tuna egg rolls, Caribbean salmon salad and house veggie burger and washed it down with a Dogfish limited release on draft.

The restaurant seats 200, including a lounge area with separate bar and a DJ booth. In the main dining area there is a dais sectioned off by glass half-walls intended for DJs and Quizzo MCs. There are about a dozen flat-screens, a speckled glass bar top and flooring made from recycled tires. Outdoor seating with fire pits and a full bar is under construction on the corner of the property at 34th and Market; this area is set to open up in April.

Landmark's dining room is open daily from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m., and the bar stays open till 2. Visit Landmark's Web site to view food and drink menus, as well as a weekly specials list.
