Stove & Co. Restaurant Group and Jasper’s Backyard are joining forces to open Rooster’s, a classic American pub, in Glenside, writes Jason Sheehan for Philadelphia Magazine.
The restaurant groups are combining the powers of their two teams to make a powerful local bar, restaurant, and community space in the former Keswick Tavern home.
The new eatery will have 90 seats in the dining room, 40 at the bar, and 44 outside. It will operate throughout the week and offer brunch, lunch, and dinner, as well as happy hour and late-night hours.
The restaurant will have an “elevated pub fare” vibe highlighted by chef Joe Monnich’s braised beef sandwich with smoked gouda and homemade pastas. Other offerings will include a raw bar, wings, burgers, fried chicken, and seasonal plates.
The bar will serve “draft beers, eclectic wines, and house-made cocktails,” said the teams.
Construction on the new space will start imminently with a fall 2024 projected opening.
The owners are looking at “a top-to-bottom design makeover, renovation of the bar to close the rectangle and add more seating, the addition of more communal tables and banquettes, a full rehab of the kitchen, and new bathrooms.”
