Nodding Head Brewery & Rstrnt   

Formerly Sam Adams brewhouse, this bar/restaurant is one of the best-kept secrets in Center City. Its front door takes you straight up a flight of stairs into immaculate three-room enchantment. Nodding Head is brought to you by the owners of Monk's Cafe. Nodding Head also offers a premium list of world-class beer in the bottle, a moderately priced full-on wine and liquor selection, and a sophisticated menu. The crowd ranges from eclectic Center City drinkers to die-hard beer geeks. The place is dimly lit and very spacious, with an all-wood interior and old- time textural molding on the walls. Nodding Head is strongly recommended to those in search of high-class beer, excellent food and a warm and soothing atmosphere. -- Sean O'Neal
