Northern Liberties has enjoyed many modern revamps of the traditional gastropub in the past 4-5 years. North 3rd has the best of what both gastropubs and friendly neighborhood bars have to offer.  And it’s all Philadelphia all the time. The dark wood interior is adorned in a grab-bag of spiritist artifacts and the perpetual aftermath of a Mardi Gras party. Although the décor is not so much meant to theme the bar than have it emanate a sense of cordiality. North 3rd boasts of an array of local brews, from hoppy to smooth, from amber to ecru, and all spices and viscosities across the board. Plenty of bottle beer varieties are also available. Lunch and dinner menus consist of American classics made with fresh locally bought ingredients (crowd faves include roasted beet salad and Bee’s backyard burger). But North 3rd’s biggest claim to fame is their brunch menu, loosely based off their lunch menu but also modified by the chef’s whimsy. Be sure to try the mulled red wine. North 3rd devotes Tuesdays nights to independent movie night, where local filmmakers can showcase their creations to patrons looking to a catch a quick flick. Visit North 3rd’s web site to learn more. Like most brunch spots in Northern Liberties, the food is no joke and it’s no mystery to the surrounding residents, so calling ahead on Saturdays and Sundays can’t hurt.
