Half-Priced Drafts at Perch Pub

Every time I visit Perch Pub I am exceedingly pleased. The draft selection is vast, always changing, and always delicious. The pub snacks (and other menu items) are always delectable and perfectly filling. The front bar offers a lively setting, and there is a more quiet and relaxing setting in the back. With a pool table, dartboard, expansive draft list, and delicious food all at a special price, who wouldn’t want to make Perch Pub their next stop for happy hour?

The bar offers happy hour from 5 PM to 7 PM on Mondays through Fridays. This includes half-priced drafts, $5 Sycamore Lane Cabernet & Chardonnay, $5 Vodka-infused martinis, classic gin & tonics, and well drinks. Pub snacks are also specially priced at $2.50 to $5.50.  In addition, Perch Pub offers a Wednesday lunchtime happy hour from 12 PM to 2 PM and Sunday evening happy hour from 8 PM to 10 PM which both serve the same priced specials.  If you’re looking for a great spot to watch the big game, the bar offers $15 buckets of domestic bottles, $2.50 bourbon shots, and $4 Jager shots.

Pub snacks include Deviled Eggs with Sriracha, Philly soft pretzels ale fondue and chocolate stout mustard, spicy peanuts, warm Malanga chips with garlic aioli dip, French fries with house spicy ketchup and garlic aioli, and onion rings with ranch dressing.  If you have read my other posts, you can probably guess that I love the deviled eggs!  The pub uses a more classic recipe that delivers a mild kick. The Malanga chips with the garlic aioli dip are also delicious. Malanga is a vegetable similar to a potato that is used in mainly South American and Cuban cooking.  The Philly soft pretzels served with the ale fondue and chocolate stout mustard have an interesting and flavorful taste that serve as a great accompaniment to all of the draft beers offered.

Perch Pub calls their happy hour, “A Brew with a View”, and that it certainly is. The bar is located on Broad Street & Locust Street and is located in the upstairs location of Vrailli restaurant. Its large windows offer beautiful views of the buildings around it, including The Bellevue, the Kimmel Center, and the Academy of Music. There is a large bar to sit at, with small tables located behind them, making it comfortable and not too crowded. In the back area of the bar, where the pool table is located, there are tables for larger groups to indulge and imbibe upon.

 This happy hour spot has treated me well both in small and large groups. The service is quick and efficient, and the bartenders will even let you sample a brew if you’re unsure! Be sure not to miss Perch Pub’s wonderfully written draft list, the descriptions are both entertaining, creative, and very informative. Perch Pub is located at 1345 Locust Street.
