Stove and Co. Restaurant Group announces the launch and expansion plans for outdoor dining for four large scale restaurants in the Philadelphia suburbs. Starting Friday, June 5, 2020, Stove and Tap Malvern, Stove and Tap Lansdale, The Bercy in Downtown Ardmore and Al Pastor in Exton will begin outdoor dining for happy hour at 4:00pm. For owner Justin Weathers and Joseph Monnich, the news today by Governor Tom Wolf couldn't have been more welcome. The duo behind some of the Suburb's and Main Line's most celebrated restaurants were some of the hardest hit when COVID19 shut down Montgomery and surrounding counties earlier this year - hot on the heels of the grand opening of their Stove and Tap Malvern location and during the construction of their yet-to-open Stove and Tap location in West Chester. Now the duo have a path to recovery and moving forward with this news, combined with the launch of legal cocktails-to-go last week.

"We have learned so much from this crisis and experience, and we plan to take everything we learned and move forward. Now is the time to look ahead - and we are excited to bring back outdoor dining for our four restaurants - this is such an important step for us and other restaurants in the region that have been so badly hurt by this pandemic," said Weathers. "Stove and Tap (Malvern and Lansdale), The Bercy and Al Pastor are all known for their outdoor seating and all four restaurants have been working on a plan that ensures safety for our patrons and our staff. We will open dining that day in accordance with the Governor's guidelines and any local guidelines, and open all four spots for outdoor dining that day at the same time. For Malvern, this is extra good news as we had only been only a few weeks when the crisis shut us down and we never had a chance to finish opening the restaurant's second bar and patio."

On Friday, June 5th, all four restaurants will be open for outdoor dining, take-out and delivery from 4:00pm to 8:00pm. After that date, see below for specifics for each spot. All restaurants will expand and change up their outdoor dining layouts, and Weathers and Monnich are working with local officials to finalize details. Their plans to date include:
