The Farmers' Cabinet is a candle-lit bar and restaurant with a warm, rustic atmosphere, and a very sophisticated craft beer selection. Both on the ground floor, there are two adjacent rooms, each with a 12-chair bar. The bar area also has several stools and wooden barrels as small tables. The decor is dominated by extensive wood carpentry, and there is wall decorated with an eclectic beer bottle collection. In the back room of the restaurant are elongated beer-hall style wooden dining tables. The Farmers' Cabinet and The Boilermaker are sister bars from the same owners, with similar concepts in their theme, decor and menus. These two bars are partnered with Cabinet Artisanal Brewhouse in Alexandria, Virginia (formerly Shenandoah Brewing), which provides them with dedicated delightfully bold craft beers. Farmers' Cabinet has 26 taps and about 80 bottled beers. The draft beers naturally include dedicated taps for Cabinet Artisanal ales, but otherwise the offering showcases the very best and latest in European craft brewing excellence. Wonderfully, you can purchase small pours of any draft beer, which allows taking advantage of their great variety. The craft beers are a little pricey, but both of these sister restaurant are shining jewels among Philly's many craft beer bars. The service is attentive, the atmosphere is memorable, and the elite craft beers are of unparalleled quality.

A very cool bar! You walk in and it's really dark and has a cool speakeasy vibe to it. A great beer selection of craft Eurpoean beers plus some specially contracted beers of their own.

Lots of bartenders and they were knowledgable about the beer, able to help people with a selection since most of their beers aren't well known (and a few of the people I was with weren't big beer drinkers but they all found something!)

It's really dark, though, so it was hard to read the menu. They did have a printed menu which was easier to read, which was nice.

Beer is very expensive. Probably inline with what it needs to be for this quality imported beer, but just a heads up it won't be a cheap night here.
