What a difference a little lighting can make.
I liked the old Public House Garage and Philly's has done well to not alter the space too much. They've added some lighting to brighten it up and they're making alterations to the outside bar. The beer selection is pretty good, happy hour runs 4-7p (drinks and select apps), and the food is good (for sports bar food).
Most of the booths have their own TV and remote to watch whatever games you want. This will be a huge hit during football season. They'll need to work out the sound as they kept playing music during football games which was upseting some tables. Eventually they figured it out but the sound was low and not clear.
That said, the service was solid and friendly. All told, it's a good start. Let's hope they keep it up!
It's no surprise if you've been to this shopping center before but the parking situation is -37 stars.
