We have some BIG, joyful news to share: 🎉✨Love City is opening a second location!❤️🍻 We took our time exploring possible locations, and we’ve finally found one that feels like home. We’re honored to be taking over the beloved space at 4323 Main Street in Manayunk.

Since opening our doors in Callowhill in 2018, Love City has grown because Philadelphia has shown up for what we believe in — unfailingly delicious beer, a team-first workplace, and a space where everyone is genuinely welcome. “Brewed for all” isn’t just a tagline for us; it’s a promise we’ve worked hard to live up to, and it’s a big part of why this city has embraced us.

We’re honored to be bringing Love City to the former Fat Lady Brewing space — a brewery that shared many of our same values. Like us, Fat Lady was woman-owned, family-operated, deeply community-focused, and proudly queer-friendly. The space has long been a home for events, creativity, and connection, and we have tremendous respect for the legacy built there by Jane Lipton and her family.

We can’t wait to get to know our Manayunk neighbors, welcome new faces into the Love City community, and carry forward the spirit of inclusivity and care.

More details coming soon. For now, we’ll just say this: same values, same heart, more room for community.

Lots of Love,
Melissa and the Love City team
