An up-and-coming restau-bar in town is expanding, and this is one design feature that will be unveiled March 7 when it'll be part of Philly Beer Week.
Can you name the place -- and specify what this design feature is all about?
Here's the answer: It's Zot -- that quirky Belgian grotto at 122 Lombard St. in Society Hill. Marking their first anniversary, owners Tim Trevans and Bernard Dehaene are redoing things. The wine bar in the front of the first floor will be moved upstairs, in favor of two beer bars. Upstairs, besides the new wine bar (where wines will be available by the bottle only), they're installing a sports bar. And this is where the bathroom fits in. It's the bar back. Behind that tiled wall behind the tub is a refrigerator box, and beer lines will be punched through. Beer spillage will go into the tub and down the drain. The sink is functional. So is the rubber ducky soap dispenser. Why? Why not, Trevans said.

It has to be something from Steve Starr.
From Michael Klein: Not even close!

The Artful Dodger?
From Michael Klein: Very close (and the Dodger could use a renovation), but no... Think newer.

The Khyber ?
From Michael Klein: Good guess (they're bumping up the food over there), but no! I didn't realize this would be so vexing. New clue: On a side street, not a number street. (And it's not Xochitl...)
