Brian’s Sports bar at 5007 Frankford Avenue was the subject of discussion at the Frankford Civic a few years ago but has been below the radar since that time.
The legal name is ONJY Inc. and they have only one citation on the LCB website. They operate with a restaurant licence (R4498) and therefore are required to be primarily in the food business with seating for 30 at tables and chairs.
We haven’t sent anybody in for a test of the food service yet.
The following streets are scheduled for street improvement work during the week of July 24, 2016, Acting Streets Commissioner Michael Carroll announced today.
Weather or special events in the area may alter the resurfacing schedule. Residents are urged to move their cars from the work sites when temporary “No Parking” signs are posted so that vehicles are not towed. In the event a car is towed, please contact your local Police District to determine its location.

There is a hidden gem in Frankford. Its a dining establishment so busy that a patron can never get inside. Yes its the Terminal Deli at 4705 Frankford Avenue (Frankford at Margaret). Did you know that it has an Eating Place Retail Dispenser (Malt) license from the PA Liquor Control Board. That means it has to have seating for at least 30 people.
The guy sitting out front under the No Loitering sign must be waiting for a table. Its busy every afternoon and with the line out front, you better make reservations early.
