Beer Shoppe Opens In Ardmore

The shop-meets-restaurant offers domestics, imported, craft and specialty beers—along with cigars, Di Bruno Bros. meats, and Chicago-style hot dogs.

After months of township meetings and delays in the transfer of a liquor license, Peter Vitale's Beer Shoppe opened at long last on May 2 in the Ardmore Shopping Plaza on Greenfield Avenue. 

Despite a quiet opening, the store has seen a lot of customers, Vitale said.

"We don't have a sign up yet, we've done no advertising—we just opened the door and ... we've had a very nice flow of traffic," Vitale said. "... We've been getting a lot of compliments on the place and the selection."

The Beer Shoppe sells domestics, imported, craft and specialty beers. Patrons are welcome to sit down and enjoy a beer—or sample one of the hundreds of beers in stock—at a table or at the bar, both of which are in viewing range of several flatscreen televisions. The shop also sells Chicago-style hotdogs, with all the condiments shipped in from the Windy City, Vitale said.

Di Bruno Bros. meats and cheeses are also available for purchase, along with cigars.

Vitale said he decided to set up shop in Ardmore after about a year of research.

"[I was] driving around, scoping out various neighborhoods, trying to be in close proximity to a —and I was lucky enough to find this place," he said.

According to Vitale, the hours for the Beer Shoppe are:

  • Monday-Thursday: 10 a.m. - 9 p.m.
  • Friday-Saturday: 10 a.m. - 10 p.m.
  • Sunday: Noon - 5 pm.

Because the shop operates on a restaurant license, Vitale said, the shop "can serve beer, liquor, shots or anything"—however, customers are restricted to only 192 ounces of beer per purchase.

The Beer Shoppe is located at 46 Greenfield Ave. in the Ardmore Shopping Plaza. The store can be reached at 484-416-3594.
