Mad Rex

In a post-apocalyptic world, dining options would surely be limited to canned goods and salvaged MREs, but at Philadelphia’s newest themed dining destination, the end of the world is a far more flavorful affair. As for decor, this restaurant, bar and virtual reality lounge is going for scorched-earth chic, helped by the cocktails served in tin cans and proteins sizzled table-side on hot rocks. The food menu is modern-American, featuring a range of creatively presented salads, appetizers, sandwiches and entrees. At the bar, you’ll find a list of specialty cocktails, such as the Scorched Earth and The Coming, beers on draft and in cans and bottles, and an extensive wine menu with varities available by the glass or bottle.
