Bacon-broiled oysters with Irish butter (above) will be on the menu at the International Bar during Fishtown's inaugural Stouts & Snouts event.
There will be bacon oyster plates, Celtic mules and soft-boiled eggs wrapped in sausage on Saturday, March 15, when the inaugural Stouts & Snouts festival takes over Fishtown.
From 11 a.m. until closing time at 21 participating restaurants, neighborhood bars will serve up pork-based dishes alongside stout beers and Irish-inspired cocktails. The event is free to attend, with drinks and bites pay-as-you-go.
The bars will have imported, local and in-house stout options including Guinness, Love City Sylvie Stout and Dock Street Prince Myshkin Russian Imperial Stout. Non-beer drinkers can try Celtic mules, cocktails with Whistle Pig Rye and a bacon old fashioned. Zero-proof Bar Palmina will also have a non-alcoholic Guinness.
Diners can snack on pork-based sandwiches, pork roll burgers and Scotch eggs. Restaurants will also have blood sausage sopes, bacon-broiled oysters and pulled pork poutine. Plant-based options will be available as well, organizers said, plus more classic entrees like a corned beef, and sausage and cabbage.
“Through all seasons — the friends and business community of Fishtown enjoy coming together as proud hosts to help our neighborhood share its energy, pride and diversity," Johnny Brenda's owner Paul Kimport said in a statement. "This March 15th with a nod to Saint Patrick’s Day — we heartily encourage visitors to come follow their rainbow and enjoy the journey!”
