Gastro Pub Coming Soon To 38th And Chestnut

February 21, 2009 at 5:14 pm
Foobooz reported this week that The Blockley Pourhouse is opening up shop right here in University City. (U. City trivia: Blockly refers to William Warner Estate of Blockley, which is what our lovely home was known as before Penn bought it.) The target date for opening is March 21, and according to Craigslist, open house for job seekers will continue through tomorrow. They describe themselves as a "live music/beer garden/gastro pub." It'll be tough to out-class Chili's, the reigning restaurant on the 38th and Chestnut block, but we're excited to see Blockley take a shot.
