“World’s Greatest Bar” Gets Even Better This Summer.
Mr. Sixpack reports today that the inimitable Dawson Street Pub in Manayunk is gonna fix itself up this summer. So long as they don’t lose the ambiance, s’okay with me.
Dawson Street and owner Dave Wilby were at the epicenter of Philadelphia’s craft beer revolution in 1995, as I recorded in the closing section of this (my first) article on the subject and many other print publications (including this story about a Saturday night in July, just uploaded to the web the first time, and written and published somewhere near the end of the last century).
I christened Dawson Street the “World’s Greatest Bar” back in the day. That was another time and I was someone very different but I’ve never changed my mind. It was my first true “local.”
Good on you, Dave.
“Dawsons” is in my top-3 of all time favorite bars!
You are a wise man.
I remember when you first started writing about this place and then, lucky me, took me there on one of my visits. Great place and hope to see what the Dawson Street Pub 2.0 looks like. More importantly, what beers they will be serving upon my return.
