Insider Tip
"1700 Hour" is Tavern 17’s interpretation of happy hour and runs from 5 - 7 p.m. on weeknights, with special $1.70 tavern sliders and mini cocktails.
Tavern 17 also features great sidewalk seating along 17th street and even offers a special "doggie menu" for the most discerning of canine customers.
Located in the first floor of the Radisson Plaza-Warwick Hotel on 17th Street just off Rittenhouse Square, Tavern 17 puts a modern spin on the classic tavern.
The 170-seat interior features leather and wood, giving a warm, yet sophisticated feel to the restaurant. Vintage timber flooring, candlelight, shades of cream, cinnamon and chocolate, combined with clean, uncluttered sight lines, add a certain elegant and timeless quality.
With its menu, Tavern 17 focuses on what it calls “artisan flights and bites” — a creative selection of miniature entrees, mix and matchable, with flights of cocktails, beers and an array of wines — of which you’ll find 17 classic reds and 17 palatable whites. And that’s just for starters.
Flights and bites offer an accessible, high-quality alternative to the oversized portions that can typify so many restaurant menus. It also allows for a lower price and gives customers a fun, group experience through sharing.
The kitchen uses fresh, local and organic ingredients whenever possible. Signature dishes include orange marmalade glazed salmon, calamari steak and “two-bite tavern sliders.”
As a nod to the hurried business and internet set, Tavern 17 offers free wireless Internet access to allow you the opportunity to get some work done while enjoying a great meal.
So whatever the occasion, know that Tavern 17 delivers a comfortable and unpretentious atmosphere in which to wine, dine and relax.
