Standard Tap
Once home to the Western Hemisphere’s largest number of breweries, Philadelphia continues to sate drinkers’ desires with bars that serve not-so-typical pub grub.
One not to miss is Standard Tap, a Northern Liberties spot with a dining room, deck and full upstairs bar (which has a working fireplace) that pairs local brews with excellent, gourmet pub fare. Dig in to menu items like chicken pies, fried haddock sandwiches and braised brisket.
The first pub in Philadelphia to truly latch on hard to Philly’s craft brewing upswing, Standard Tap has done nothing but grow since it opened its doors in 1999.
The Tap’s menu — largely responsible for said growth and a huge draw — is written daily on hanging chalkboards and coordinates perfectly with its selection of exclusively local brews.
Expect to find a diverse crowd at Standard Tap.
It’s a casual place with which everyone — musicians, artists, hipsters, business people, locals and visitors — seems to fall in love.
Beer fans love Standard Tap’s awesome selection, which includes more than 20 local brews on draft.
Weekend brunch is also a specialty at Standard Tap — the menu features great, inexpensive American fare ranging from the simple to the sophisticated.
