More Beer in Newbold...

City Paper is all about beer this week, not surprisingly. Their Top 5 section looks at the top 5 underappreciated beer bars in town. Newbold's The Station makes the list...

4 Station Bar & Grill
1550 McKean St., 215-467-1871
This upstart restaubar has a tap list curated by Bella Vista Beer's Chris Fetfatzes. It starts with local session staples like PBC Kenzinger and Victory Prima Pils, and continues with the likes of Lakefront IPA, River Horse Belgian Freeze, Boulder Never Summer and Offshore IPA.

The Station opened (I think) in the late summer, after an extensive renovation, just as I was moving into the neighborhood. I haven't made it down there yet, but have heard good things about the beer selection and the food is supposed to be pretty good too. Who wants to check it out with me sometime?

This place is a dump. The cooks are probably the worst in the city. I also saw a mouse run out of the kitchen and into the bar area. I wonder how this places passes inspection.

I almost puked after I ate here. Where did they hire the staff? From prisons? Its disgusting. Never again.
