Best New Restaurant: Split Rail Tavern

Everything about Split Rail is quite remarkable—albeit in a low-key way. The bar space boasts reclaimed wood, ceiling-high mirrors, and intriguing lighting scheme. The beer selection as much of an attraction as the satisfying, locally focused menu, highlights of which include a luscious rabbit ragout and the deservingly popular pickle-brined fried chicken.

15 N. Walnut St., West Chester, (484) 999-8805. 

Our Best of the Main Line & Western Suburbs Party is July 25!
