Barrels
9 S. Granville Avenue (609) 823-4400
The owners of Barrel's in Margate have just informed me that they will
go entirely smoke-free [May 2004]. They formerly had a nonsmoking dining room accessible through a smoking lounge. They were apparently helped to make the right decision by a letter of encouragement I sent them earlier this week.
The air will be great, and I also recommend their food, which is South
Philadelphia Italian style.
Thanks to Chris Schultz!
