Daily News | The Hayes, from chef Townsend Wentz, joins Midtown Village’s bar scene
The chef’s empire has reorganized slightly in the years since. Walnut Street’s Oloroso and Fairmount’s A Mano anchored operations while Townsend returned to its original East Passyunk Avenue home, which Wentz bought. He continues to hold the lease at 2121 Walnut St. and plans to roll out a new concept there.
Wentz spent a good part of the pandemic working on the building, which he owns. The bones of the Irish Pub — tall arched windows, exposed beams, and painted ceiling — remain intact, but significant upgrades were made elsewhere. Wentz and team painted the interior and exterior, installed a new penny tile floor and lighting, renovated the bathrooms, updated equipment, and replaced stained-glass windows behind the bar with chalkboard menus.
“Our theme here is really just American tavern,” Wentz said. “We want to have good bar food: burgers, good entrees, a good steak. I don’t want to say it’s more casual than everything else we do, but it is. We still put all the same effort into what we do.”
