Pub & Kitchen is going country next Tuesday, the 24th of November. Starting at 9pm the 20th and Lombard bar is putting on their ten-gallon hats, slipping into their cowboy boots and celebrating a “Country Delight” night. There will be awful country music like Garth Brooks, Toby Keith, Alan Jackson, Reba McIntire and more (Bring Your Own Ear Plugs) but there will also be $3 canned beers, $6 pints of Sixpoint Righteous Rye from a firken plus a special $14 southern-inspired dinner of fried chicken, mashed potato and kale.

Friday afternoon we received a note that Monday evening Pub & Kitchen would be kicking off the Phillies game with a “shotgun rally” of 100 free cans of Sly Fox Pikeland Pils. We were a bit incredulous. Had a Blackberry been compromised? Was someone pulling our leg? Was Pub & Kitchen losing its mind?
But we checked in over the weekend and it is true. Owner, Ed Hackett wants 100 people on the sidewalk shotgunning cans of Pikeland Pils t 7 tonight. Maybe it’s just the thing the Phillies need to get back on track, it’s certainly worth the try.
