Brewheads love the Taproom’s rotating list of 11 craft beers on draft, but we can’t get enough of chef Jesse Kimball’s nothing-over-$15 carnivore-, vegetarian- and vegan-friendly pub menu. Our only complaint: The tables at this laid-back Port Fishington bar — locals are oddly unparticular about the borders between Fishtown, Port Richmond and Kensington in this somewhere-north-of-NoLibs ’hood — are too tiny for the homey feast: Who wants to choose between the beer-batter kosher dills, beef-filled pasties, and the Port Richmond Platter, a heaping plate of grilled kielbasa, fried pierogies, crisp potato latkes and a mound of sauerkraut?
