A "brewpub" coming to Liberty Place's food court? Not so. Insiders say that the only alcohol-based tenant negotiating a lease is Vintage Irving, the NYC wine bar I told you about last week.Damn. He also says that Stephen Starr's beer garden, planned to be across from Johnny Brenda's, will be outdoor-only in its first summer, and will not be named "Bier Garten," as rumored in Phoodie (I'd put the link up, but Phoodie appears to be down right now...) Which is a relief. (BTW: my insiders say that a beer hall/garden may be coming to Philly in a big way. When I get more, I'll spill, but you're gonna squeal with delight.)
Good news: Don "Joe Sixpack" Russell reports that Yards' tasting room opened Friday night, serving Yards beers (duh), PA wine, and a full menu of chili and grilled cheese sandwiches. Reminds me of the old days at Legend, in Richmond, when you could get chili, omelettes, or chili omelettes.

Haufbrauhaus is coming to Philly?
Nobody's coming just yet, and HB isn't the only big fish in the beer garden sea...
Stephen Starr + beer garden = $14 lagers that you can buy anywhere else for $5, coupled with food you can't find anywhere else?
Love his restaurants, but he's a gouger when it comes to liquor. Not that alcohol prices aren't excessive just about everywhere, but much more so with his places.
