Ended up at 1947 Tavern on a Friday night looking for somewhere to grab a drink and some small noms. I had been here a couple of times before yet somehow always forget that this place exists when racking my brain for options. I definitely need to tie a 1947 string around my finger because this is a great little spot on Ellsworth! Sure, as other reviewers pointed out the food is overpriced (albeit, tasty). However, their strong and delicious cocktails that include a choice of over 50 kinds of bourbon and a decent selection of rye whiskeys are more than reasonable at somewhere between $6-10 a piece. Plus they always have a seasonal Penn Brewery special for the day at $3 a pop- can't beat that. The ambiance is great- dark wood, copper on the walls, and some of the best background music (Mayer Hawthorne, yes please!) you will hear in the Burgh. Will definitely be back, but probably just for drinks more than any food... would be much better off filling up on libations and then heading next door to Bites and Brews for some pizza and sammiches. (I feel like I can say that without guilt since they are both owned by the B2 restaurant group). And last, but definitely not least, make sure to check this place out when the weather is good- they have a great patio out back!
