Dock Street West Service Model Changes To Begin July 28, 2020
We’ve spent countless hours, days and weeks calculating and restructuring our entire business model, and we are thrilled to share what we’ve landed on. These changes are intended to be permanent, not just during Covid-19 or until the next Phase of the pandemic, but we are very much still learning and tweaking as we go. We have heard from several community members that a service fee in lieu of tipping would be a welcome change, but we continue to listen to feedback.
Dock Street West Update 7/1/2020
To those that have supported Dock Street Brewing Company in the past 35 years as a business and during our 13 years here in West Philly, we want to offer our gratitude and appreciation. Your calls and emails with words of encouragement, as well as your support as you continue to come by for pizza and beer mean the world to us. We want to take this opportunity to share with you our core beliefs, who we are as a business and as individuals, and what our plans are for moving forward.
Dock Street West Statement on Re-Opening
Dock Street Brewery is family-owned, immigrant-owned, and women-owned and operated. It is also a small business, facing the same challenges that every small business in America has faced during the COVID-19 pandemic. Dock Street never envisioned a survival scenario in which it would have to lay off many dedicated and hardworking staff members, but that is what has transpired these past few months. The world changed without warning, shining a light on many systems in need of reform, and the bar and restaurant industry is one of them.
Dock Street Reopening for Outdoor Dining on Friday!
Can you believe it’s been 3 months since Dock Street has been able to welcome you all here to eat and drink? (Real talk, it feels like 3 years…)
While the global pandemic is most certainly not over yet, things are easing up a little and we have received some Yellow Phase guidelines about how to safely start to reopen.
Beginning June 12, 2020, Dock Street West + Dock Street South will be open for outdoor dining (with limited seating), plus we’re continuing takeout via online ordering.
