New Pub/Resto Comes to Center City

Joining the expansive, varied Center City eating and drinking scene is U-Bahn, described as “a new underground stop for all things local — food, beer, and music.”

U-Bahn is serving up fun, fantastic food and great music.

This shrine to “Philly street food” will also thrill those who love their beer. The pub will sport eighteen brews on tap between two bars. A custom tower will serve Yards Philadelphia Pale Ale, Brawler Root Beer and three draft cocktails, while the remaining taps will rotate between various Philadelphia homegrown brews, with an emphasis on those of German style. The wine list is also Philly-centric, and the cocktail menu features drinks constructed from local ingredients. The selection of rye whiskey is to be fantastic.

As for the food? Expect a range of delicious treats: cheese boards, bar snacks, homemade pickles, and twists on classic Philly sandwiches. Owner Teddy Sourias points out that Philly has at least five or six signature sandwiches (while most cities have only one, if that), and he aims to celebrate that fact with delicious takes on traditional favorites. The kitchen at U-Bahn is under the care of Executive Chef Andrew Gaspar, who also heads up Sourias’ other restaurant, BRU Craft & Wurst. He excels at both classic German cuisine and delicious bar grub, the likes of which he’s served up with aplomb previously at Belgian Café, Brauhaus Schmidts, Stateside and Monks Café.

The venue features a stage, and local acts will grace it with live music on select days. The state-of-the-art sound system ensures that local talent really has a chance to shine.

U-Bahn is set to open today, March 5th.
