Fishtown District will partner with the app FYND to showcase the specials and weekly updates all summer long.

“We are excited to bring people to Fishtown and Kensington during the summer months to enjoy all that we have to offer,” said Fishtown District Executive Director Marc Collazzo. “The new “Fishtown Taps” happy hour is a chance for people to come and try out the notable bars and restaurants and take advantage of the discounted offerings. It is also the chance to experience some of the city’s most buzzed about and beloved bars and drinkeries on a slower night of the week. The program is also designed to spotlight all the great beer bars and breweries we have in the District – and to give another reason to visit for drinks, food, retail shopping and more.”
Fishtown Taps is brand new for 2023 and launches at nearly 20 locations around the red hot dining district. Fishtown District has partnered to FYND app founder, Max Thalheimer to promote the weekly event. FYND is a local app that allows visitors to search for drink specials, events, and things happening all around the city. FYND is where customers will be able to see all of the beers on tap, wine, cocktails and food included in the weekly event.
