New beer gardens

Opa has opened one. University City District rolls out one, too.

Midsummer means beer gardens.

The University City District will run one for Bridgewater's Pub at the Porch at 30th Street, the outdoor plaza along Market Street on the 30th Street side of 30th Street Station, from 4 to 8 p.m. today (July 12), noon to 8 p.m. July 13, and noon to 5 p.m. July 14. Live music, brats.

Opa, the Greek restau-bar at 1311 Sansom St., just opened a nighttime beer garden in what was a depressing alley leading out to Drury Street - hence its name of Drury Beer Garden. The bar, fashioned from a 1970s dresser, has what appears to be an old-school boom box but actually plays tunes from an iPod. Table tennis, too. Menu/beer list (.PDF)
