·509 S 2nd St, Philadelphia, PA 19147, USA

The Twisted Tail is a Southern inspired bourbon house and charcoal grill restaurant in Philadelphia's Society Hill and Headhouse Square area. Beyond the main dining room, the building holds three distinct private event spaces. The Club Room seats 20 to 35 guests and suits cocktail parties, corporate meetings, or private dinners. The Lounge downstairs holds 20 to 30 guests for a cocktail party or seated dinner and can also be combined into a full venue buyout. The Juke Joint upstairs is the largest and most requested room, with capacity for 50 to 120 guests, an elevated stage, a 25 seat bourbon bar, and open floor space for dining and dancing, making it a common choice for weddings and larger private parties. The restaurant's American whiskey list runs alongside a menu built around a charcoal grill, and catering can include options like a slow cooked pig roast. The Twisted Tail sits on South 2nd Street in Society Hill, near Headhouse Square.
