Philadelphia Bars Named in Draft Magazine Top 100
Philadelphia Bars Named in Draft Magazine Top 100
Center City – Draft Magazine published their annual top 100 bars list for 2012 and some of the Philly favorites were on the list (again):
EULOGY BELGIAN TAVERN | Philadelphia
A stone’s throw from Independence Hall, Eulogy is an undisputed hub for Belgian beer in Philly’s Old City. Navigate 21 taps and more than 300 bottles, or let the friendly staff and regulars guide you in the right direction—order a Dock Street Belgian Cowboy Saison and a steaming pot of mussels, and you’ll fit right in. 136 Chestnut St., eulogybar.com
THE GREY LODGE PUBLIC HOUSE | Philadelphia
Far from the downtown bustle, this northeast Philly bar’s ’50s Elks Lodge vibe feels like your grandfather’s dive, but its beer selection is of the moment. If you’re an out-of-towner, stick with local taps like Victory Village—that, plus the inevitable conversation you’re bound to fall into with the regulars gives the out-of-the-way Lodge its charm, whether you’re imbibing in its first- or second-floor bar. 6235 Frankford Ave., greylodge.com
MEMPHIS TAPROOM | Philadelphia
Hidden deep within a classic Philly working-class neighborhood, Memphis Taproom’s an oasis from the light lagers at nearby dives. The tap list is short, but the choices are phenomenal (Pliny the Elder’s been spotted next to Port Old Viscosity on cask); an equally thoughtful selection of nearly 100 bottles rounds out the list. 2331 E. Cumberland St., memphistaproom.com
MONK’S CAFÉ | Philadelphia
Monk’s Café’s place in the upper echelon of watering holes is well-deserved. Its Beer Bible, which covers style guidelines, brewing 101 and an intoxicating list of more than 300 beers, acts as a visitor’s guide for patrons packed into the venue’s two intimate bars. The selection makes ordering tough; have a pint of the house brew Monk’s Café Flemish Sour Red and a pot of award-winning mussels while you sift through the list. 264 S. 16th St., monkscafe.com
STANDARD TAP | Philadelphia
If you’re looking to confirm the hype over Philly beer, head to Standard Tap, where 20 spigots (including two casks) pour only local beer. Study the chalkboard for what’s pouring, but don’t overlook the bar’s endearing décor, from its old-timey tin ceiling to its 1950s-style kegerator behind the bar. 901 N. Second St., standardtap.com
