"If all the fall fever of Red October could be found in a glass, it would be appropriately located at the bar in Red Owl Tavern. Prepared with Ilegal Tequila, Ancho Reyes Verde, Aperol, bell pepper, agave, and lime — it’s the spiciest way to kick off the peak season of fall and baseball." - Ernest Owens
"Inside of the Kimpton Hotel Monaco in Old City, this social hotspot is an ideal experience for those looking to dine like a local tourist steps away from Independence Hall. From their $22 BFD (burger, fries and draft) to their extended breakfast/brunch that goes from 10 am to 4 pm on Saturdays, this is arguably one of the most affordable and accessible staycation restaurants in town." - Ernest Owens
"Red Owl Tavern is the Hotel Monaco’s resident restaurant, offering brunch seven days a week with an exceptional menu of rustic fare and cocktails inspired by the City of Brotherly Love. Its drinks list changes seasonally, making it fun to stop by often to see what they are dreaming up, with current picks being the I’ll have s’more (its take on a s’mores old fashioned made with brown butter bourbon) and the slippery “sloep” (a gin cocktail that includes pink peppercorn, rosemary, lemon, and egg white)." - George Banks-Weston
"Red Owl Tavern Located across from Independence Hall, the outdoor patio gives you access to two American staples: shrimp and grits and the Liberty Bell. The blend has pimento cheese and it doubles its creaminess from the citrus aioli. You could also go for their juicy burger with a lemony glaze, pickles, onions, and cheddar. And whether you’re choosing between those fries or a fresh side salad, you can do it under their fully-covered outdoor patio. photo credit: Red Owl Tavern" - Candis R. McLean
