On Sunday we were told we couldn't drink tap until further notice. Not sure what other options there was?

Truthfully, I can't speak to the situation locally, but in regards to the recent train derailment this is most comprehensive overview I can dig up:

Not really. Deregulation has consequences.

Also, to give some concrete data to your request, you can check out the Philly CVB's annual report here: https://www.discoverphl.com/facts-and-research/phlcvb-annual-report/

If you're not in favor of bringing in tax dollars from visitors...then I don't know where to start here really.

I absolutely have my qualms with where the money goes too, but I feel like brining in $$ from out of town is one of the simplest net positives out there.

yeah, everyone in here saying it's not needed has no idea how many visitors that thing brings in

It brings in a ton of visitors/economic activity...meaning a lot of tax dollars.

I like fountain porter but it's pretty crowded usually

that place sucks so hard

It's a little small, but I like that about it

That's fair! Kinda stuff you don't get swinging by for a pint

Damn, they're just blowing up all the spots around Passyunk huh

Earnest question, why? I enjoyed the beer and appreciate a place doing some farmhouse/saison styles

Yup. Keep calling Philly lawless online and people are gonna act like it.

Ah that explains it. They legit used to be like a 10 seat corner spot. I'd go to bat they have the best Mexican in the city over anywhere in S Philly.

Food still quality too. Glad to see a place that deserves it grow!

El purepacha, easy

yeah, absolutely pre mature to eat shit after just a conference game

Well, thanks for sharing I guess. Very valuable contribution to the conversation.

Should be a good start

And I almost get doored/nailed on my bike daily while following traffic laws. What's your point here? Cyclist bring it on themselves? Some don't follow traffic laws?

Nah, trains rule and are way safer and more sustainable than cars. This person just seems misinformed.

I love trains, but yeah, wrong.

Watched this at a sports bar in South Philly. There was a moment of dead quiet where no one was sure if it was a foul or home run based on him not running and then someone just whispered a quiet "No...." followed by pandemonium.
