Cavanaugh’s Headhouse in Philadelphia, PA, USA

We are a locally owned restaurant with 3 locations! One pub-style, one nightclub, and one sports bar with a ton of history behind us. Our owner, Patrick’s, grandfather came over from Ireland, to begin his first job painting the Ben Franklin bridge (the backdrop to our outdoor nightclub location). He then turned around and bought the first restaurant, Cavanaugh’s, on Philadelphia’s historical Market street. That then passed down to his Father, who then bought a second location on 39th and Market street. With that, Patrick then began to work an old nightclub, previously Kat Man Du, where he was the head chef, and worked with our other owner, Ken (the GM at the time) to buy the pier. They went on to buy Rittenhouse and Headhouse. The Headhouse location, with a traditional pub layout, with 6 rooms, serves Irish style-fair with some American favorites. We are known for our wings, burgers, fish and chips, shepards pie, and of course, our favorite take on a Philly cheesesteak, cheesesteak spring rolls. We were voted best wings in the city! We make all of our food and sauces in house, and our famous house “Cav’s Sauce” is famous throughout the city. We have deep city roots and would love to be considered for an episode! Our owners are quite the characters and they would love to make what we do more known.
