A few weeks back Grub Street mentioned that Vesper Hospitality Investments LLC, a newly formed restaurant group that partnered with Jose Garces to develop what we now know will be Frohmans Wursthaus, has begun renovations of the former Dr. Watson’s space on 11th Street, between Locust and Walnut streets, Philadelphia Brownstoner reports. The company plans to convert the landmark Center City bar and restaurant into a traditional British pub , which will be called Sherlock’s Tavern. Details are few, but it’s expected to open this fall.
