The Mildred Will Become Coeur

Leigh Maida, Brendan Hartranft and Brendan Kelly, the triumvirate behind Local 44, Strangelove’s and the upcoming Clarkville in West Philadelphia have just signed a lease for yet another new concept. The trio will be taking over the former Mildred at 8th and Christian in Bella Vista. They’re promising a “classic, back-to-basics menu a la Montreal,” that will of course offer craft beer but also wine on tap. The name is Coeur, French for “heart,” and it promises to be cozy, intimate and friendly. Hartranft says he wants the place to be the kind where “local couples frequent regularly and wind up saying to each other ‘Did you ever notice that we always go home and have sex whenever we eat there? Weird, right?'”

Coeur is aiming to open in September of 2015.
