The Black Sheep gets props as soon as you enter it for looking like an authentic Irish pub. The dark wood, the fire place, the embracing smell of Guinness, the fish and chips…all make you think: good place to kick back with a beer, chat with friends and order some good eats. Then you notice the flat screen tvs, the juke box and realize that there’s two other floors to check out and suddenly The Black Sheep is going to become a favorite Rittenhouse Square haunt for you.

For beer lovers, The Black Sheep maintains the staples on draught: your Guiness, Hoegarden, Stella Artois, Chimay and PBC Rowhouse Red are ready to fill your pint. The bottled beer selection fills in the gaps, and the bar also boasts a decent wine selection, as well. Order a glass of Ancoro Pinot Grigio,
Ferngrove Savignon Blanc,
Cypress Chardonnay if you prefer white wine, or Pont d’ Avignon Cotes Du Rhone,
Cypress Merlot, or
Ferngrove Shiraz Caberbet Sauvignon, for you red-lovers.

The all day bar menu features the classic american gastro-pub favorites such as the gourmet burger, steamed mussels, fried calamari, baked mac and cheese, and quesadillas. The dinner entrees offer a variety you may not expect at an Irish pub: NY Strip Frites, Grilled Filet of Salmon, Sauteed Crab Cakes, Crispy Duck with Orange Plum Glaze or Pan Seared Rack of Lamb.
