grace tavern?
Paco: You've got the scent ... but no, this is not Grace.
Tough one today! OK, some clues — this is a beer lover's bar west of Broad Street. And the owner's got more than one place.
Black Sheep?
Deb: Nope. Look to the South ...
Monk's? Really?
Barry: It's not Monk's, either. How 'bout I share some other stuff we ordered, Craig LaBan Crumbtracker-style? - Scrapple, egg and cheese - Two eggs over easy with vegan sausage - Headcheese omelette
SOUTH PHILLY TAP ROOM!!
Rachel, hot damn, that must be it as the "Puretest" fridge is on the front page of their website: http://www.southphiladelphiataproom.com/ Misleading, though. The second "place" the owner has is a takeout beer store that doesn't even have it's liquor license yet.
Miss Rachel is a WINNER. This is the good ol' SPTR. Now get over there and eat chef Scott Schroeder's headcheese. (Not you, Miss Rachel.)
Barry: Brew counts as a place! Don't forget that they also do some sick coffee there.
win win! I live right around the corner... I'd recognize those wood tables and beer case anywhere!
I've been really, really disappointed with the taproom recently. Especially with the food. Both "my moms meatloaf" and the breakfast burger were dry and flavorless. Being able to dip the burger in ketchup and hollandaise sauce was what saved that for me. The tomato soup was good but I really disliked how they put the mini grilled cheese in the soup (I suggest asking for them on the side). The mac and cheese was alright. Its a block from my house so I wish it was better.
agree with amy on this one, havent had good experiences there lately- in the early summer my jeans were ripped down the side due to a lovely nail sticking out in a booth bench (with no apologies or free booze provided). staff didnt seem to know the beer menu at all (telling us one was not available when it actually was) tho i think the girl was new. the next trip we were stuck with a miserable waitress (that also works another tavern with considerably better food) probably wont be returning anytime soon
You guys are F-ing nuts !!! The food at the SPTR had never been better. The new Chef's menu is off the charts and had finally caught up with the beer. They were just in Bon Apetite Magazine for shit sake!
Hey now, an opinion is an opinion. Sorry we disagree. I used to love the taproom, it is basically my neighbor. I would love to still love it but I've had my bad experiences, maybe the chef was having bad days when I was there but I wholeheartedly stick by my opinion. I'm not picky in the least but I was very disappointed on more than one occassion.
i have to disagree also amy, it's my favorite neighborhood spot for dinner, a late night snack and for brunch. don't change a thing . . . especially the sliders or the shrimp ceviche.
my opinion is that amy should open her own restaurant and leave the grilled cheeses out of the soup. I'm leaving mine in.
