Red Owl Tavern

Tourists and 9-to-5ers alike can tell you that Old City's been screaming for a hip hotel bar (with a view) for eternity, and it's got it in the Monaco's multi-floor American tavern. Adorned with exposed girders and rustic reclaimed barn siding, this 115-seat spot counts a thoughtful cocktail list and food made/manipulated in-house among its talents. Don't sleep on meats like sausage, scrapple or even hot dogs, butchered and prepared on the premises. Sit outside, visit the mezzanine or just drop by the separate "On the Fly" counter, providing walk-ins with takeaway sandwiches, salads and more.
