The Blockley Pourhouse will open Friday

Just received word that The Blockley Pourhouse (38th and Ludlow), from owners Ned Taddei and Patrick Hughes and chef Ross Essner, will finally open this coming Friday, June 26. Great news, as the ambitious bar, beer garden and live music venue has run into all sorts of time-eating trip-ups. (It was originally slated for April). Mary Oaks, the gastropub that shares an address with The Blockley, is not yet ready; look for that half of the space to debut in early August.

Meal Ticket had menus for both of the spots back in March, so refresh your memory on the concept and the food before Friday.

The Blockley website bears a very striking resemblance to National Mechanics'.  Funny, they're both built by William Strickland, taking their name from the buildings' original function.  Hmm.

I agree. Looks like they were more than inspired by mechanics. Sounds like a great place though.
