We're a friendly South Philly bar, welcoming everyone -- locals & visitors -- whether you're a craft beer lover, sports fan, art lover, foodie, or just looking for a nice local spot away from the hubub of Passyunk Ave.
We aim to have a comfy, casual, come-as-you-are, home-away-from home feel, with handmade pierogis, an eclectic mix of scratch-made foods (kielbasy burger, smoked wings, porkbelly mac&cheese, and velvety tomato bisque, just to note a few), unique craft beers, & tasty and intriguing cocktails!
We might be watching some B-movie / Sci-Fi on the TV, cheering on our Philly teams, or maybe hanging up some artwork & getting ready for an art show. We also have an OEDL Dart team, Movie trivia nites, a good mix on the juke box, and friendly, skilled bartenders to guide you thru foods, drinks, conversation & fun!
6-packs to go! Take out food orders available!
& only 10mins from the Stadiums!
Looking for a reasonably priced place to host a party? Or maybe you just want to have a small get-together but cleaning your place sounds like a drag. Give us a call and let our space be your space!
Cheers!
It was a dark and stormy night when the Black Cat Tavern on 12th opened on Friday the 13th, May 2016....because, of course... & is 'meow' open for business!
With a lil moxy & know-how, they gave the bar a lil love, a new coat of paint, got some sparkly new fixtures & such, and are happy to welcome everyone in!
But don't let some fancy lights and a shiny new bartop fool ya... The owners Marlise & Tom are just regular Philly folks, who've struggled to make something of their art school backgrounds, fought tooth and nail and squirreled away their pennies and somehow managed to convince a nice bank to give them a loan for the chance & the opportunity to share their love of booze and a good time with everyone.
(They are also awesomely humbled by the positive feedback & friendly faces they've had the opportunity to meet. This really is a labor of love & they're so happy to provide a nice venue for the community.)
