About London Grill…Striking a perfect balance between a cozy neighborhood pub and fine dining restaurant, London Grill has remained one of the city’s most popular destinations since 1991. Located in the historic Fairmount neighborhood, a short walk from the Barnes Foundation, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the Franklin Institute and its neighboring museums, the beloved restaurant and bar has gained a reputation for its creative menus, which draw on American comfort favorites and cuisines from around the world. London Grill debuted their new sister restaurant, Paris Wine Bar (2303 Fairmount Avenue, 215-978-4545), in the spring of 2012 and Berch McNally, who has long been at the forefront of the city’s craft beer and cocktail movements is proud to bring the same vision and focus to local wines in a charming, French-inspired setting.
