Four Years of Wilder ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

It will be four years since we opened this weekend! The amount of gratitude for everything & everyone and excitement for what’s to come is hard to capture in words. Our team, food, beverage & hospitality has never been better.  

Starting Friday, and all weekend long, we are celebrating with food & drink specials plus a special t-shirt for sale designed by If you don’t know Perry - check him out. He makes amazing art for musician, is Grammy nominated for his album art and has an insane t-shirt collection with a special Philadelphia t-shirt section.  

All proceeds from the birthday cake negroni (we literally soaked a funfetti cake in gin), Prawn Lejons 🍤 funfetti bombolini 🎂 and the t-shirts go directly to
Juntos is an amazing organization that helps immigrant Philadelphians and we are so proud to donate to them year after year.  

Come celebrate with us, support Juntos, get a rad t-shirt, and have a great meal!

Earlier this year, We wanted to refresh our branding and menus a bit.  We didn’t want a whole new design, but rather an update and refresh to where we are now as a restaurant and people.

I was looking around to see who we should get to help us and a friend of mine introduced me to Anthony (Tony). Tony was born and raised in Philadelphia and moved to Amsterdam several years ago and has been there since. After our first phone call, we knew Tony was the right person for the job. He got what we are about, what we were looking for, and we just clicked.   Plus, we know a lot of the same people from growing up in the same music scene in Philly.

Connections are important - and it shows.  We couldn’t be happier with the end product! 😊

We incorporated some our favorite elements of the restaurant design, including the hand, painted sign done by Nicole as seen on the front of our menus and of course, Jefferson is alive and well. 🐆🐆
