Venue Review: Southwark - Bar - Restaurant - Philadelphia

Southwark
701 S. 4th St (@ Bainbridge St)
Philadelphia, PA 19147
(215) 238 1888

Southwark may be at the corner of South 4th & Bainbridge, but this is a whole lot more than just a corner bar.  No jukebox, no TVs, and no roster of DJs spinning heavy beats.  Southwark offers a refreshing, down-to-earth, yet ultimately sophisticated atmosphere.  MP3 driven ambient tunes are piped in, and the bar blends superlative cocktails.  The kitchen excels at French country fare like their grilled rabbit, and more than a few seafood treats.  The bar menu is most definitely a cut above and the crab beignets stand out.

From the minute I stepped foot in the door, my five senses started tingling. My nose was quickly aroused from the flavors floating through the air.
The dining experiance was out of this world. The bar tending was to die for. Mr. Costa provided a well based knowledge of wines, like he was born in a wine-barrel.
