If you haven’t had a taste of the newest dining spot to hit Conshohocken, then January 16th is shaping up to be a perfect time to hit Southern Cross Kitchen – not only because the 16th is in the near future and SCK’s “cross” between southern classics and modern comfort food should be tasted as soon as possible, but also because January 16th marks the day that Goose Island Brewing Company will be visiting SCK for a very special beer dinner.
Marianne Gere and Kim Strengari, the same restaurant geniuses behind Stella Blu and Gypsy Saloon in West Conshohocken, are excited about showing off their new hot spot and welcoming guests to this brew filled affair.
The beer dinner will be private, unfolding at 7:30 p.m. for $45 per person (including tax & gratuity). Seats are very limited, so call 484-344-5668 to save your spot before it’s snatched up by another southern food loving, Goose Island fanatic. Cheers!
