Kite and Key
1836 Callowhill St.
215-568-1818Bar/Pub, Fairmount/Art Museum Area
The 1800 block of Callowhill is fast becoming a go-to strip for reliably good eats — now you can satisfy a parallel need for craft beer and local sports at the Kite & Key. Given the TVs and some of the menu items (Cajun fries, wings, ribs), K&K sometimes feels more like a sports bar than the gastropub it's been billed as. When it comes to beer, the Kite's soaring. There are currently 30 brews by the bottle and 16 on tap, with an emphasis on regional choices (including one of my faves, Victory's hoppy, herbaceous Prima Pils). Though creative menu items are present (spicy pineapple wings, crabcake sliders) the kitchen could use a bit more polish — stick to the delicate housemade pastas and desserts for maximum edible pleasure. Open daily, 11 a.m.-2 a.m.
