The suburban watering hole is teaming up with MINI of the Main Line and Dock Street Brewery for a viewing party that benefits the Free Library of Philadelphia. Come in costume and enter to win a pair of VIP passes to Philly’s 2014 Wizard World, or simply enjoy a few rounds of Dock Street’s Dock-tor amber ale or the dark and menacing The Master porter.
