Sidecar owner's next neighborhood: Fishtown
Adam Ritter of frequent Meal Ticket haunt The Sidecar (2201 Christian St.) tells us that he's just inked a deal for a second location. Located in a long-vacant bar space on the corner of Montgomery and Girard in Fishtown, his as-yet-unnamed project will be most comparable to a contemporary European bistro in both design and layout � picture a 30-seat U-shaped bar in the middle of the space, surrounded by a smattering of picnic bench-style seating. The location, which'll be single-level to start out, is roughly twice the size of The Sidecar's floorplan.
Right now the plan is do between 20 and 24 beers on tap, plus growlers � "It's going to take what we do at our place and put it on performance-enhancing drugs," says Ritter. The menu, which'll be handled by new Sidecar chef Brian Lofink (formerly of Matyson and Brasserie Perrier), will be focused on well-crafted smaller shareable plates. The spot should be open sometime in the first quarter of 2010.
By the by, Sidecar's plan to expand to onto a second floor is still a go.
I love the sidecar!
