Our First Floor
Many years and several names ago, we first opened for business during the Labor Day Weekend of 1950. The first floor still has some of that 1950s feel. The large oval bar encourages friendly conversation.Back in the early days as The Grey Lodge Pub, we didn't have any capital for flashy stuff (or even a decent floor) so we concentrated on doing the little things that make great bars great. We have a great jukebox and many fun things to do such as darts and video games. We have several large flatscreen TVs for watching sports. We get screwed monthly by Comcast to bring you Phillies and Flyers games. We also have a great beer selection; did we mention the beer?

Scoats knew that things were going to work out after the first floor restrooms project. We have constantly reinvested in our physical plant. We even have a decent floor now, which was inspired by tile floors in New Orleans, LA.

The first floor is a friendly place where people of all ages and from all walks of life can hang out together having a good time. Where strangers can become friends, which is illustrated by Paul Coff's poem for the late Herb Brown. It's a great vibe and we do our best not to mess it up.

Our first floor is open Monday through Saturday from 10am to 2am, Sundays from 11am to 2am.

Our Second Floor
Our second floor dining room opened February 2005, the same day as our kitchen. Our second floor is a little more refined than our first floor and tends to be quieter. It is very family friendly, we even have high chairs, and a children's menu.

Our second floor features a small bar. The walnut bar top was originally from the Chestnut Hill Hotel. Most of the seating is at tables, which can easily be pushed together to accommodate larger parties.

More intimate than our first floor, it is a good place for a date night, whether with a new friend or with your longtime spouse.

If you have an MP3 player, we invite you to be the DJ on our 2nd floor. Easy on the speed metal please, we already have a little of that on the first floor.

Our second floor is open Tuesday through Sunday at 5pm.

Local Art
We display works from local artists on our walls. Currently on our second floor, we have work from Eric Peters, a happily married, working guy who lives nearby. He has degrees in photography and art history and has worked in commercial portraiture and currently restores damaged pictures, but he still works his day job with John & Kira's Chocolates, hand made right here in Philadelphia. Also showing is resident photographer Lou Trefz.

Past artists have included photographer Christopher Kadish, pencil illustrator Jessica Rodgers, A Square Deal, and painter Ana Vizcarra.

If you are an artist who would like to display your work, just let us know.
