Boot and Saddle Is Opening on September 9th
South Broad Street’s Boot and Saddle is reopening this September as a 150-person capacity live music destination with 60-seat bar and restaurant. Closed since 1995, the bar with the giant neon boot on the side will be reopening under the direction of R5 Productions, Sean Agnew, The Bowery Presents and FCM’s Mark Fichera and Avram Hornik.
In addition to local and national artists ranging from punk, metal and indie rock to electronic, singer-songwriters there will even be some country back at the old Country and Western bar.
While live music will be the attraction in the back room, the 60-seat main room and kitchen will be open seven days a week from 5 p.m. to 2 a.m. The full-service bar will include ten local craft beers on tap plus seasonal beers from around the United States. Also expect to see some inexpensive crowd favorites.
The new Boot and Saddle will bare resemblance to the old Boot and Saddle. The original tin roof remains and folk-art cowboy murals reflects the Boot and Saddle’s place as Philadelphia’s one-time only country bar.
the grand opening is set for Monday, September 9th featuring Aimee Mann and Ted Leo.
