Bar #55: Eulogy Belgian Tavern, 2nd and Chestnut
Though Old City is great at bar quantity, Brynn and I weren’t terribly impressed with the bar quality during our last visit. However, we decided to give it another go with a stop at Eulogy Belgian Tavern, which has quite the tagline: “Beer Heaven.” When we walked in, the vibe immediately reminded us a bit of our ever-referenced standard, Good Dog, which was partially due to its almost identical layout. We headed upstairs to the quieter room with more seating and got some menus from a very friendly/informative server. We quickly decided that the tagline was definitely NOT an overstatement: they had more beers than we’d ever seen before!
SO MANY BEERS!
Limiting our choices to the draught list, we started looking for our key words. I found an appropriate choice in a Premium Framboise ($6.50), a wine beer with the word “raspberry” in the description, while Brynn decided on a Blanche de Bruxelles ($6) which had a description containing the words “Belgian,” “white,” and “orange.”

We were pretty happy with the feel of the place. It was one of the first Old City bars that didn’t seem to be full of what I like to call “Old City people.” (Old City people: pl. noun, the college students who acted like tools because it was acceptable, but then graduated and never changed. See: anyone who frequents Mad River) I also really liked our server, who was very attentive and seemed to know a lot about the beer they offered (which is basically every beer ever). As for the drinks themselves, there’s a beer for everyone if you know what you’re looking for, and they have just about everything you could possibly be looking for, so of course we loved them! Definitely one of the better bars in Old City.
