One neighborhood bar checks out, and another checks in. The four owners are aiming for simplicity on the former site of Memphis Taproom.
, is already on the right track at Cumberland and Memphis Streets in Kensington. It soft-opened last weekend, and — after some social-media attention from the previous owner — instantly drew a packed house.
Meetinghouse’s owners — Keith Shore , Marty West , Colin McFadden , and chef Drew DiTomo — have retained Memphis Tap’s barroom bones while lightening it up and adding artsy blue wall tiles, created by Shore, behind the bar. What’s new is a merchandise counter just inside the hitherto-unused side door on Memphis Street; walk in and snag canned beers to go, plus shirts and random items such as copies of Swill magazine and Garbage Pail Kids parody Craft Brewers cards.They’re going for simplicity with just five beers: Memphis Tap holdover Orval, Guinness, and three house brews identified as “pale,” “dark,” and “hoppy,” respectively. South Jersey’s Tonewood Brewing makes them.
The simplicity extends to DiTomo’s menu, executed by chef Ethan Sobin. Among the dishes is a hot roast beef sandwich, a turkey club, and — in keeping with the solid vegan options at this address — a vegan version of a pressed “bikini” sandwich with greens and cauliflower.Meetinghouse, 2331 E. Cumberland St. Hours: 4 to 11 p.m. Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday; 4 p.m. to midnight Friday, 11 a.m. to midnight Saturday, and 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday. Closed Tuesday.
