BARSTOOL
You’ve likely heard of Barstool Sports – maybe you’re one of their 100+ million followers. But if you’re not familiar, sports blogger Dave Portnoy founded the company back in 2003. They have since developed into a multi-million dollar digital media company entertaining generations through sports and pop culture. Their latest venture is opening a chain of sports bars to complement their sportsbook app. Stanton & Bowery Hospitality took the reins on designing and operating the new Barstool bars. Philadelphia is the second location to open its doors.
Located in the heart of Center City Philadelphia, there are a handful of other go-to nightlife spots near Barstool Sansom Street. It’s just a few blocks from City Hall. Their modest front door entrance opens into a massive two-floor oasis for “good vibes only.”

The bar has pub-style qualities with exposed brick, wood floors, leather seating, and lots of taps to keep the rounds flowing for their guests. The walls are lined with TV screens, so the bar needed a focal point –a Split Flap was the perfect fit.
Stanton & Bowery ordered a 5 Row and 32 Column board that acts as the main attraction behind the bar. It breaks up the bright lights from all of the televisions. The Split Flap displays everything from game times to tweets from social figures throughout the Barstool organization. They’ll also put up some location-specific quotes about Philly. Adding this kinetic design element keeps the content flowing – something Barstool holds the trophy for across all social platforms.
Their Split Flap wouldn’t have been complete without a custom Barstool logo flap. Besides this hometown sign, Oat Foundry Split Flaps are now on display at Barstool locations in Chicago, Scottsdale, and Nashville. We are excited to partner with Stanton & Bowery and Barstool to bring their vision to life! 34 " x 93
