Stop in for a bite!

While you’re at the museum, take a break from your exploration and stop in for a bite to eat at the all new Philly Down South Café, which is located on the second floor. Or you may simply opt to enjoy lunch or dinner at the new café. No museum admission is required if you’re only coming to the restaurant.

Philly Down South was created and based off my family’s business, Leary’s Tavern. Leary’s Tavern was established in 1973 in a small town in Croydon, PA. We were known for our delicious cheese steaks and great sandwiches, so my family and I created this authentic menu and brought it to South Florida at the Elliott Museum!

Come join us for an Ultimate Philly experience on the second floor at the Elliott Museum!

The Philly Down South Café serves lunch from noon to 3 p.m. and dinner from 5 p.m.-9 p.m. Happy Hour is held from 3 p.m.-6 p.m. every Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday where an assortment of beer and wine is offered, two for the price of one.

Live music fills the air and on Saturdays, Forrest King hosts an open mic event from 2-6 p.m. Many musicians have been showing off their musical talents singing, playing guitar, piano, flute and more.
