Strangelove’s, the new Center City beer bar from Leigh Maida, Brendan Hartranft and Brendan Kelly has announced its grand opening date. The two-floor bar with twenty tap lines is opening on Tuesday, April 23rd. The opening night blowout will feature a tap list to make all the beer geeks scream and complementary food from chef Paul Martin’s kitchen.
Regular service will begin on Wednesday, April 24th at 11:30 a.m. with the kitchen open till midnight, seven days a week.
We have to admit, this one excites us.

Strangelove’s is motoring towards its opening. Last week we told you they had replaced the barn door with an honest to god, hinged variety and now they’ve named a chef. Paul Martin, most recently sous chef at Parc and the original chef at Catahoula will be in front of the stoves when Strangelove’s opens.
Martin, who was born in Louisiana and has cooked in Texas, the Pacific Northwest and even had a three year cycling career in France, will bring that wanderlust to Strangelove’s menu. The menu will also be compatible with the desire of co-owners Leigh Maida, Brendan Hartranft and Brendan Kelly to create another affordable and accessible menu that is appealing to vegans/vegetarians and meat-eaters alike.
Strangelove’s is looking at an early April opening as they await the liquor license transfer. For more on the recent civic association meeting, check out Philadelphia Real Estate Blog.

I’ll take a pint of the Cantillon Brewery’s traditional Lambic Lou Pepe and Highway 61 Revisited.
Okay, so that’s not exactly what you will be able to do at The Bottle Shop at Local 44 in West Philly (44th and Spruce), when it opens this spring as part of a Local 44 expansion. But the vision of owner Brendan Kelly is that his 400-plus bottle shop will be like a record store for the world’s top quality microbrews and craft beers, vintage and rare.
