A $50 gift card to the latest West Philadelphia dining establishment: William Street Common Bar & Kitchen at 39th & Chestnut. 

The bar + kitchen operates with a different style of service, and acts as a prototype for Hornik’s future bars, beer gardens and venues. William Street Common employs several unconventional approaches to achieve this, such as simplified flat-pricing on all drinks and most notably, a new compensation model for employees in which tips are neither expected nor allowed, but a living wage is guaranteed. The venue also boasts a delicious comfort food menu by Chef David Gilberg, a three drink prix-fixe brunch for $22.33 and a variety of rooms to explore, along with a private meeting space. William Street Common is launching in several stages, open immediately on nights and weekends, adding weekday hours March 23 and making more rooms available in the coming months.
