Kirsten Henri’s piece in today’s Philadelphia Weekly is chock full of goodies for everyone looking forward to the next big opening.

• Fairmount’s Monk’s is still tied up in paperwork with those sticks in the mud, the PLCB.
• Look for the Spruce Street Tria to open in June.

• And it still sounds like the end of March for Triumph Brewing Company’s Old City location.

Well this week’s Bawdy Girls newsletter dropped a little more information on the place.

Think supper club, meets fashion week, meets cirque du soleil. The type of place you want to have a ladies night out, enjoy dinner, dancing, and maybe even some shopping after downing a few artisan cocktails.

Well they’re hiring for all positions including club dancers and choreographers and not the gentlemen’s club variety.
