The brief
A Philadelphia institution needed a site with the warmth of the room itself, one that gets people through the door, books the back room and keeps the regulars in the know.
What we built
- A custom WordPress theme, designed for the pub
- Events, live music, promotions and reviews the staff post themselves
- A seven-tab menu, from lunch to late night and what’s on tap
- Toast online ordering, table booking and gift cards built in
- A private-parties page with its own inquiry form
- A Celtic FC page with upcoming fixtures in Philadelphia time
