Welcome to Standard Tap

January 20th, 2011

When Standard Tap opened its doors in December 1999, our goal was simple:  to create a neighborhood tavern that featured great beer and wholesome food.  With that in mind, we offer a draft-only beer selection that highlights the vast array of styles crafted by breweries located in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware.  Our food menu both complements the beer and expands the notion of what pub food can be.  We use only the best available produce, poultry, meats and seafood — much of it from area farms and local vendors – to create fresh, seasonal dishes.

Feed your body & soul this New Year’s Day

All food proceeds support SOS Philadelphia, a group that helps the city’s un- and under-insured with their medical bills.

Porch Views

August 13th, 2011

Have you been wondering what construction we’re doing on our deck?  What it’s going to look like when we cover it?  Here are some renderings by Jesse Gardner of Alana Trading Company.  TOP: A view from the green roof that shows the clerestory windows, fans and open-air design that will allow the sunshine and breezes to filter through.  BOTTOM: Poplar Street view.

Metalwork forged by Warren Holzman of Iron Studio.

The deck is still open during this phase of construction, so please visit and see the progress for yourself.
