About High Street | Restaurant Opening Early Fall 2023 

High Street’s forthcoming restaurant and bar is the anticipated expansion of one of Philadelphia’s most loved bakeries. The restaurant, within James Beard Award-winning High Street Hospitality Group, is opening in early Fall in Washington Square West. High Street’s menu celebrates local vendor and seasonal ingredients with dishes that feature our artisanal bakery, including pizza and handmade pastas, visualized by its soulful and talented Executive Chef, Christina Mckeough.  

The beverage program complements the spirit of the kitchen with a thoughtful selection of small-production wines and beers, focused on American and especially East Coast producers. The talented team behind a.bar lends their fun and sophisticated approach to the cocktail program. A full coffee program is offered throughout the day and evening.   

HSHG’s workplace culture throughout all restaurants emphasizes teamwork, internal hospitality, transparent communication and professionalism. If these ideas resonate with you, we encourage you to apply for an opportunity with us!
