Openings: Beast & Ale
More good news for Manayunk.

Tim Spinner and Brian Sirhal, the duo behind the Feliz trio of Mexican spots in Fairmount, Fort Washington and Manayunk are venturing north of the border with Beast & Ale (4161 Main St., Manayunk), their latest spot opening its doors today at 4 p.m.
They're calling it an "updated greasy spoon serving savory classics with a beastly twist," but the menu reads more bar fare meets comfort food than ghouls, goblins and other assorted beasties. Topping out at just under the $20 mark the menu is made up of starters (think chimichurri wings, whipped cauliflower with tapenade and fried green beans), soups, salads, burgers and sandwiches (hello, fried bologna!) plus a handle of plates like fried chicken with polenta and braised escarole and a fish of the day.
On the drinks end of things there are a handful of classic cocktails, nine beers on tap ranging from Moosehead to Bruery Tradewinds Triple and a wine list where everything is available by the glass, half carafe or bottle and nothing going over $32.
