Profile

Warm wood floors, antiqued-glass panels, and lazy ceiling fans give 200 Fifth the feel of a well-kept old saloon. In fact, this relaxed dining room–bar dates to 1987, which counts as serious staying power in this neighborhood. A loyal following returns for solid Italian/American food and everybody-knows-your-name familiarity. Thanks to a chef who ran the kitchen of Smith Street fave the Grocery, 200 Fifth’s familiar fare is expertly presented, like shrimp scampi on al dente linguine, and moist grilled salmon teamed with still-crunchy broccoli. Weekday traffic is light, with scattered diners and a flock of bar regulars who’ve known owner Mark Gerbush since opening day. Weekends mean a wait for tables, but the long, burnished-wood bar, which serves more than 40 beers on tap, offers the full dinner menu and special “bargain” fare like sandwiches and pastas. — Michael Kaminer

Con: Not in my neighborhood

I love this place. Worst part about it is that it isn't in my neighborhood. it's the best place to watch sports: TVs everywhere showing every game for every sport -- and as a Philadelphia native, it's rough catching games up here, so that is awesome. The food is also awesome; from full plates to finger food, nothing has disappointed me (my favorites: the zucchini sticks and the grilled salmon... and I'm hungry). Plus, a huge selection of beer (40 on tap) and food insures it won't be boring whenever -- brunch is also fantastic, especially the $9 unlimited champagne...
