The Barbary rolls out food

Most of us have danced, boozed or seen a show at Fishtown's The Barbary (951 N. Frankford Ave.), but now you can add dining to your list of fun-as-hell activities to enjoy there. The second floor, dubbed Barbarella, is now open from 5 p.m. to 1 a.m., serving up inexpensive bar food ranging from nachos, pierogies and falafel to churros, vegan sloppy joes, pretzel-crusted mac 'n' cheese balls and a peanut butter/Nutella panini (!). Not only are there mad vegan/vegetarian options, but everything's affordable, ranging from $3 to $7, says Barbary owner John Redden. (Pretzels with nacho cheese or mustard are always available up till 2 a.m.) Eating good food on the cheap while getting your drink on? Yes, please.
