The Grey Lodge Pub

You must come to Grey Lodge on Friday the 13th, there Friday the Firkinteenth event is so much fun.  25 or more firkins of cask conditioned ale ready to tap, about 6 at a time, bell ring every time one is kicked and a new one is tapped until there done.  Worth a half day off a work to get there before it get too crowded.  If you are hungry they sever there full menu at there upstairs bar at this event.

Speaking of food everything I've had here has been great.  Its mostly bar food but above average for sure.  The cheesestake fires are amazing and probably a mean in itself rather than a side.   As long as there isn't a big event its great for large groups, my co-workers and I have frequent this place for a view office birthdays and good-byes.  If I lived a little closer I'd probably come here more often.

In my on going quest to find the best bars in Philadelphia, I stumbled upon the Grey Lodge.  I don't normally venture up to the great northeast, however they advertised a Pi day event and, well, I like Pi(e).  This place isn't much to rave about from the outside, but the interior is a good old fashioned neighborhood bar.

As most have mentioned, the beer list is awesome.  This isn't the place to get $2 PBR cans, however, $3 Festivus bottles isn't half bad.  The staff half pleasant, half a little grumpy, which is charming in a way.  Crowd was descent, but certainly not packed.

Obviously, there was pie, which was good.  Also had the $4 spicy cheese fries, fresh and tasty.  

Overall, worth the trip every once in a while.

First and foremost: the beer selection is amazing and the servers and bartenders are the most knowledgable people I have met when faced with such an ever-changing list. The food is fantastic. Get whatever, it's gonna be good. I usually get the burger or some form of cheesesteak but my most recent trip there I got the falafel sandwich and it was a little mind-blowing. Bad falafel is dry and tasteless. This was perfect. Not dry at all and just the right amount of spices in the sauce and falafel.

Now, the mozzarella sticks. These are the size of a small dog, filled with ooey gooey cheese and deep fried in gold. Get them. I haven't had a bowel movement since.... But so worth it.
