Margolis, The Patio and Fabrika are three very different rooms a few blocks apart in Fishtown, run by the same team. Here they are side by side — size, cost, hours, and what each one actually feels like — so you can tell which one your night belongs in.
An intimate cocktail lounge. Low light, plants, vintage furniture and a bar that builds every drink by hand.
An open-air bar next to Fabrika. Hanging greenery, rattan lanterns, and sky overhead.
The big room, and the only one that runs all day. Brunch through late night, with a balcony, three bars and a real light and sound rig.
