Dispatches From Dave: Inside Oyster House

Posted by david fields on June 5th, 2009

Here’s a quick look at the new Oyster House on its opening night, featuring some deft shucking by one of the chefs. The space is a sophisticated modernization of the old Sansom Street Oyster House, with an L-shaped oyster bar and overall good vibe! Looking forward to an oyster sampler, some cherrystones, and a Victory beer.

Taco Tuesdays are back at Barristers. Get three hardshell tacos for $2 as you watch the Phillies take on Ken Griffey and the Reds.

Lunchtime Bracketology

Posted by Foobooz on March 20th, 2008

It’s the most wonderful time of the year. And no, we donâ€™t mean spring. After all spring means allergies. Weâ€™re talking March Madness and if you have to duck out of the downtown office at lunch to watch Temple knock off Michigan State today check out Barristers where theyâ€™ve recently revamped their menu adding grilled flatbreads, Panko crusted chicken and a hanger cheesesteak with roasted red peppers, caramelized onions and crumbled blue cheese. Wash it down with a beer on special, grab a mint and sneak back to the office before anyone notices.

And speaking of brackets, Foobooz has moved on the second round of Philly Madness where we face Lu Ann Cahn. Lu Ann Cahn? We’ll scratch her eyes out.

The Regulars

Posted by Foobooz on December 5th, 2007

From the title to the photograhs, Philadelphia Weekly’s food issue is obviously inspired by Sarah Stolfa’s, the Regulars. Whether quizzo players, dive bar squatters or strip bar voyeurs, every bar has them and needs them. What worries us is how many of them we recognize.

Mom Would Not Approve This Meal

Posted by Foobooz on June 26th, 2007

Foodzings may not have had the healthiest meal but the photos show it sure looked good. It starts with chili cheese fries at Barristers and then off to Naked Chocolate Cafe for a chocolate dinner.

New Years

Posted by Foobooz on December 16th, 2006

We here at Foobooz have to be honest, we’re not the biggest fans of New Years. Events are often over-priced, under-served and most frustratingly, overrun by amateurs. Now New Years Day on the other hand…. When you’re out drinking with people on New Years Day, then you know you’re among professionals.

But that’s not to say won’t be going out. It’s just that we aren’t that big on the galas and such, but find a nice dinner out with friends, perhaps at a BYOB, that’s how we prefer to bring in the New Year. But we’ll be up and at it early New Years Day for some real debauchery.

The NHL At Barristers

Posted by Foobooz on November 20th, 2006

There aren’t many bars in Philadelphia that cater to hockey fans. And even less as the Flyers have struggled out of the gate this year. And by struggled out of the gate, we mean they’ve been the worst team in the league. But if you love hockey and are perhaps looking to watch some more competitive teams this year, you’ll be happy to learn that Barristers Bar & Grille has the NHL Center Ice package.
