Lil' Phil's replaces La Marsa
This is so awesomely Baltimore.
Signs?
Who needs signs?
Just scribble something on this piece of paper, tape it in the front window and we'll be fine for now.
Hee hee.
A bunch of us dropped by the new Lil' Phil's around midnight last Saturday night. As you can see from the photo, Lil' Phil's used to be the hookah bar La Marsa.
Honestly, not too much has changed, decor-wise. They have a pool table in the back now. That's new ...
The building is a small, narrow space with a bar on one side. The pool table is in the back. As of Saturday, the walls were mostly bare, and the bar was less than half full. I sunk into the new-looking leather couch near the front of the building and sipped a draft Yuengling.
Since Lil' Phil's just opened, it's too early to properly pass judgment on the place. With time it could grow into a low key Fells Point bar with character, or a tiny, rowdy fun zone. For now, it looks and feels pretty generic.

LIl' Phil's sounds like a nickname for a fallace

Statutory Grape??? Classy. Why not Date Grape? Or Prison Grape?

Whoa, I totally glossed over the names of those Jell-o shots. Talk about poor taste. Wow.
