One of the most interesting places to dine near The Courts at Historic Manassas might be The Philadelphia Tavern. Though it's located in Manassas, this local pub brings Virginia a bit of the City of Brotherly Love: according to its website, The Philadelphia Tavern's 19th-century bar was brought to Manassas from Philly. You'll find other bits of Philadelphia here, too, like authentic Amoroso rolls for the sandwiches, craft beers from Yards Brewing Company, and even dishes like shrimp steamed in Yuengling beer — another eastern Pennsylvania brewery.
Philadelphia food is almost synonymous with cheesesteaks, and The Philadelphia Tavern has a selection of them to enjoy. The Classic Cheese Steak comes with your choice of cheese (including Cheese Whiz) and toppings, while the Pizza Steak features grilled pepperoni and mozzarella cheese. You may not find scrapple, Tastykakes, or chocolate-covered onions here, but this is still probably the closest you can get to authentic Philadelphia food without leaving Manassas!
