Grace Tavern — Restaurant in Philadelphia

You walk into a small row-home style bar with original tin roof (NO rust here). The lighting, colors, atmosphere feel like a time gone by until you hear people talking about the big Eagle’s game yesterday while No Broke Boys thumps over the speakers.

The bar fare is elevated without overthinking, yet true to form. French Onion Dip with homemade chips feel right at home here. The Grace Burger on an English Muffin, tho, is the standout. I know.
