Beer-BQ at Square 1682

Tickets are still available for tomorrow night's Victory Beer and BBQ Dinner at Square 1682. This Wednesday, July 13 at 6:30pm, Chef Guillermo Tallez will prepare a four course menu of seasonally inspired bbq favorites to pair with some of Victory Brewing Company's most popular summertime brews.

Tickets are $40 per person and includes a four-course beer paired dinner. With offerings such as Lobster Corn Chowder paired with Victory’s ever-popular, Summer Love Ale. The full menu is pictured. The event was set to be held on the patio at the Hotel Palomar, but some unforeseen construction / demolition of the patio has moved the event indoors to Square 1682’s 2nd floor dining room.

BYOD Featured in The Bark

When guests stay in Philadelphia’s Kimpton property, the Hotel Palomar, their pets are treated as one of the family. But it’s Square 1682, the hotel’s restaurant, that has taken the furry family experience to a new level—offering Bring Your Own Dog brunches at its outdoor café.

Beginning on June 26, and continuing each Saturday throughout the season, guests, tourists and locals will be able to reserve a table for themselves and their best friends.
