Philly's first Black-owned brewery with great food and beer
"No brewery in Philly serves better food than this Black-owned spot in University City. Stay at the front bar near the TVs and HBCU plaques and order some Liberian jollof rice with your malty Nubian ale. Or head to the back area with communal tables and a menu of hoagies and tomato pie by Liberty Kitchen." - candis mclean
"It’s hard to tell what this person thinks of you—especially since they send heart emojis to everyone, including their Instacart driver. At least at Two Locals Brewing in University City you can use their reaction to Martin episodes and their hoagie topping preference to see if you’re even compatible (marinara sauce is a deal breaker). The brewery has a long list of tasty beers and a menu full of incredible tomato pies, salads, and cutlet sandwiches from Liberty Kitchen. Attempt to pass them an Italian, linger a while with your hands, and see if there’s something between you besides the meat." - candis mclean
"University City’s Two Locals Brewing is the ideal place to find a sport other than reloading your ex’s IG page. You can chug a few beers (go for the dark and toasty Nubian) and weep quietly while Liberty Kitchen tries to distract you with some of the best hoagies and tomato pies in the city. There’s a full bar and a few TVs, so it can get crowded when the workday ends. But let’s be real—you’re not showing up to socialize with the hottie two pale ales in at the bar. You’re here to drink and have a gluttonous spread of bread-y things covered in sweet tomato sauce and cured meats." - candis mclean
"This Black-owned brewery in University City has a relatively small beer menu, including a malty Nubian ale that even non-beer-drinkers might chug. But no brewery in Philly serves better food. Stay at the front bar near the TVs and HBCU plaques and order some Liberian jollof rice. Or head to the back area with communal tables and a menu by Liberty Kitchen. You can drink Two Locals’ beer regardless of whether you’re parking it with a hoagie or listing the top five Martin episodes while the game is on. Do both." - candis mclean
"Philly’s only black-owned brewery went from an at-home hobby to a spacious West Philly brewery and tasting room. Regulars like their Good Jawn, a crisp and clean pale ale, while those with more experimental palates might opt for their Heming Imperial stout, brewed with local coffee from Win Win. Food is served by Liberty Kitchen, and includes their superlative tomato pie, macaroni and cheese, salads, and hoagies." - Maddy Sweitzer-Lamme
