Lansdale Tavern Celebrates One-Year Anniversary With Renovations

Lansdale Tavern, at 839 W. Main St., Lansdale, raises the glasses Friday and toasts its one-year anniversary.

The bar and restaurant—formerly Huey's and, before that, My Friend's Place—is, at present, undergoing renovations, but remains open for business.

A brand-new hardwood floor graces the bar area and dining room; the green carpet is no more. New gray tile adorns the floor behind the bar.

Gone are the booths in the bar area, soon to be replaced with high-top tables. 

New wainscoating accents the bar area and dining room.

The bathrooms will be getting a makeover too, complete with new floor tiles and new fixtures.

The major renovations will take place Sunday night into Monday, in anticipation of St. Patrick's Day entertainment.

"We want to be done before St. Patrick's Day. We can do it," said owner David Decker. "New customers come in, and we want them to have a good experience and come back."

A new menu will make its debut in a couple weeks.

Happy Hour remains daily from 4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.

What are the most popular potables and fares at Lansdale Tavern?

Miller Lite Draft and Stone IPA are top drafts. Dogfish Head 60 Minute IPA remains the top bottled craft beer.

Lansdale Tavern features more than 70 craft beers for consumption on premises and for takeout.

The tavern has also improved its kitchen, waitstaff and chef. Chef Thom Pursell comes from a long management history of other bars and restaurants in the area, including Reliance Inn in Telford, and MacFee's in West Point, Upper Gwynedd, now known as Trave's Pizza Time Saloon.

The most popular food items at Lansdale Tavern? Right now, Pursell said, it is the Reuben. Coming soon: Build-your-own burgers.

Right now, you can get breakfast at Lansdale Tavern on Saturday and Sunday mornings from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., featuring omelettes, Eggs Benedict, French toast, bacon and sausage.

"It's food you'd get at any expensive restaurant, but it's cheaper in price and we're more family friendly," Pursell said.

Pabst Blue Ribbon is the daily special at $2.

Lansdale Tavern features $3 Labatt's drafts during Flyers games. There are beer specials during all Phillies and Flyers games, and NASCAR events.

Lansdale Tavern also offers live music every Saturday night, trivia on Wednesday nights, and open mic night every other Thursday.

"The first time people came here, they got to like it. We have a great staff and a great cook," Decker said. "Every day, we're getting a little bit better."
