Fine Food & Spirits

A warm and inviting neighborhood bar, Sutton’s Fine Food & Spirits offers an approachable beer, cocktail and food menu with a creative take on familiar classics.

Our Story

Sutton’s is a nod to the past industrial might of Kensington and the hardworking people that have always lived here. The Sutton family, who came to Philadelphia from England in the late 1700’s as shipbuilders, eventually opened the successful foundry and iron works known as Franklin Iron Works. Inspired by the story of a hardworking family that became an integral part of the neighborhood, owner Niall Murphy created Sutton’s; a space that embraces the people and roots of the 5th Street corridor that once housed the workings of breweries, textile, woolen, lamp and hat factories; A space where people come together and enjoy homemade food and a good drink with their friends and neighbors.

“I’ve always wanted to create a space where people can feel welcome, have a great meal with good beer; a comfortable, warm, friendly place that we would want to hang out in ourselves.”
