Join in on the Bastille Day fun on Saturday, July 14, during The Good King Tavern‘s annual Bastille Day Block Party in the Bella Vista neighborhood of Philadelphia.
Chloe Grigri invites neighbors Nomad Pizza and Hale & True Cider to take part in the party this year, as the South Street Headhouse District closes off Kater Street between 6th and 8th Streets and 7th Street between South and Bainbridge Streets to provide a car-free destination for Bastille Day revelers to gather in the city.
The Good King Tavern’s Bastille Day will run from noon–7 p.m. and will be a cash-only event. For those who wish to dine at the restaurant later in the day, it will open at its normal time, 5 p.m., but will not take reservations until after 7 p.m.
Some of the block-party food and drink options will include the following:
- The Good King Tavern will be offering: “glou-glou” natural wines (bubbly, rosé, white & light red) and Kronenbourg; craft summer cocktails, courtesy of Ketel One and Tanqueray; flavorful culinary bites, such as summer salads, French baguette sandwiches, including jambon-beurre and brie, sardinettes, pommes frites, duck wings, house-made merguez and more; and, a Lo-Fi pop-up on the new backyard patio, celebrating the culture of aperitifs, and featuring Lo-Fi/Quaker City Mercantile music sets and giveaways.
- Nomad Pizza will offer “Frenchie” pizzas.
- Hale & True will be serving up its refreshing local cider offerings.
Activities and entertainment will include live music by Liberty Bellows, an accordion band, DJ sets by Guy Tripper and Maggy’s Rooftop Aerial, face painting, pétanque and corn hole.
Don’t miss the Bastille Day celebration, which will provide a glimpse into French cuisine and culture, while offering festive city block-party fun!
