Restaurant Review
by Aaron Stella

There are many transports of delight posited down the promenade of Liberties Walk in Northern Liberties, but none tantalize curious strollers quite like Bar Ferdinand. BF’s Sable-sheened woodwork is often licked with gold trim, marrying rustic and opulent, and in captivatingly spacious quarters to boot. It’s a “bar” in the most liberal sense of the word: aside from an international tour of beer and a wine menu of practically every vintage from Spain, BF serves up tapas galore. Forget cheese fries and chicken fingers slaked away with can of PBR (not that there’s anything wrong with that); instead, sumptuous salads (arugula, spinach and quail), pastries filled with every season of meat with a plethora of seasoning in each (lobster in a croissant), simple cold tapas like salted Marcona almonds and cheese and quince, creamy croquettes, skewers, veggie comestibles and the list goes on. Did I mention BF’s a cheap date? Tapas range from $6 to $12, in easily shareable portions, too; and it’s hard not to get a good bottle of wine. Bar Ferdinand is great for brunch, dinner, or just a midday snack.
