Best of Philly 2004 Bar Trend: Bars With Real Food

The blackboard menu at that Northern Liberty outpost — succulent pulled pork sandwiches, pop-'em fried smelts, generously portioned duck confit salad — has set a standard by which all other bar food is judged. Along with the requisite bar, beer, laid-back crowd and jukebox, you'll find octopus salad in a tangy vinaigrette at Fishtown's Johnny Brenda's, salt-and-pepper-crusted salmon at Royal Tavern in South Philly, and duck potpie at Center City's Good Dog.
