Cornerstone business celebrates 8th Anniversary

Steel City Coffee House will celebrate its 8th Anniversary on Friday, November 6, 2009 from 6-9 pm with an open house. The open house will feature free music provided by local artists and special deals on food, beverages, and holiday gift cards. To encourage people to come out to this event they are giving away a free “perfect pot” of coffee to the first 50 people who arrive at 6:00 pm.

Founded in 2002, the coffeehouse has been credited with being a major part in the revitalization of Phoenixville. In the last eight years Steel City Coffee House has developed into one of the best loved small music venues in the Philadelphia region, on par with the likes of the Tin Angel and The Point (no longer in business). While supporting local artists and bands, Steel City has found a niche in presenting high profile artists, like Steve Forbert, Graham Parker, Francis Dunnery, Kaki King and Rory Block in an intimate setting. In addition it is home to one of the biggest open mic nights in the area, averaging 75 attendees each week.

While they are generally open to show attendees only on Friday and Saturday evenings, two times a year they host an open house. According to Jane Tucker, co-owner of Steel City, “having an open house on a Friday evening gives people who might not know about our business a chance to stop in and try our drinks and listen to quality local music”. The open house also gives them a chance to draw from the ever growing pedestrian traffic on Fridays in Phoenixville.

According to Tucker, the open house will feature free music provided by local artist “boog”, a young Philadelphia songwriter and Temple student who frequents Steel City’s open mic night. In addition, Emily Bless, a graduate of the Tufts Music Program will perform both original tunes and covers of Jazz and Blues arrangements. In addition, the business will be offering food specials, including buy one get one half price deals, 25% off holiday gift cards, and a free copy of The Local List for any purchases of $20 or higher.

Local Business Spotlight: G Lodge Restaurant

The G Lodge Restaurant is our most recent Local Business Spotlight. Located just a couple of miles from downtown to Phoenixville, the G Lodge has been a go to spot for breakfast and lunch for over 34 years. It was even featured in M.Night Shyamalan's 'The Happening'. The following is from RetroRoadmap.com:

If you’ve just visited Valley Forge National Park you may still be in the Colonial-era headspace, so why not continue in that vein by breakfast/lunching at the G Lodge? The inside of this unassuming roadside eatery (attached to an auto repair shop) echoes the log cabin structures of adjacent national park...just not as drafty.

Daily specials are listed above the counter, and there’s a lot on the menu as well. My eyes to always be bigger than my stomach here, though I’ve never sprung for the G-Buster special. Unlike many diner fans I am not a fan of breakfast homefries so I love that they have potato patties (deep fried!) as an option.
