Cedar Point has been the gift that keeps giving for me over the years, going back to 2015. I went on the first date with my wife, who lived in Fishtown at the time, there that summer. I moved to the neighborhood the following year, and it became our go-to quizzo spot until we moved out of the area. During that time, it also got me into eating brussels sprouts, as they were part of the chicken wing appetizer. From 2018 - 2022, we didn't frequent it much because it took more effort to do so; we tend to get tunnel-visioned (or just lazy) about restaurants and bars in the neighborhoods we live in.
Well, we moved back to Fishtown about a year and a half ago (yes, we've bounced around a fair bit), and Cedar Point is very much back in the mix. The kitchen does strong work, outdoing a number of similarly sized pub-fare places in the area. Wings, pierogis, the rotating variations on their Drunk & Cheesy sandwiches, the street corn, red curry chicken cheesesteak, chicken & waffles? All things I or people close to me can vouch for from the last few months (or this week, in the case of the chicken & waffles happy hour sandwich and the elote). They also offer a nice, thoughtful range of cocktail options and a solid beer list.
Touching base on a few other things I like about Cedar Point:
- I mentioned a happy hour menu item - their happy hours give you impressive bang for your buck. While I haven't been there to partake, they also offer a 12 - 4 weekday lunch special and maybe even some kind of late night one (don't quote me on that one)
- they still, eight or so years on from when I used to go, offer a leisurely paced Monday quizzo/trivia that starts around 7:00
- their outdoor patio space is a great spot to post up on a mild day
If you're interested in a casual bite and/or drink in Fishtown or an easy Monday out, you can do a whole lot worse than CP.
