Black Friday Brunches Around Town


The Cambridge – Since you’ll surely be up and shopping by 4 a.m., you’ll be ready for a Bloody Mary by 11:30. And that works out well since that’s when the Cambridge opens and your first Bloody is free through 2:30 p.m.

Kraftwork and Sidecar – Both these bars are offering their annual Blackout Brunch. Sidecar is making Thanksgiving leftovers sound appealing with specials like “green bean casserole quiche” and yam soup plus dark beers like Great Lakes Blackout Stout and Goose Island Bourbon Country Stout. Kraftwork is offering almond pumpkin coffee cake and Thanksgiving biscuits and gravy. The Fishtown bar will also be going dark on tap with Founders Kentucky Breakfast Stout highlighting an impressive list.

Local 44 – The West Philadelphia beer bar is welcoming New Jersey’s Carton Brewing Company with a full brunch and a tapover. And since it is Black Friday, there will be a special black IPA on tap.

Memphis Taproom – Black beers are also the theme at Memphis Taproom’s Black Friday brunch. Claim you’re shopping as you swig dark beers and buy Memphis Taproom t-shirts.

The Industry – The Pennsport bar will open at 11 a.m. with its brunch menu and $5 Ghost of Marys.
