What do a coffee shop and a bourbon bar have in common? Well, in Ardmore, they’re one and the same. Created by Bluebird Distilling founder Jared Adkins, Char & Stave opened just off Lancaster Avenue in 2022, serving its own house-roasted coffee aged in whiskey and bourbon oak barrels as well as pouring creative cocktails featuring the small-batch spirits and artisan coffee. Also on offer: weekly quizzo and live music.

Char & Stave opened in March 2022 and is located at 21 Rittenhouse Place in Ardmore.
