LEO's Eats with Kevin Gibson
For nearly 80 years, this basement space in Germantown has been home to some sort of bar or eatery. Most recently, it was a popular hipster hangout and vegan café called the Swan Dive, which sadly closed its doors in October.In its place comes the equally charming (and carnivore-friendly) Hammerheads.
Specializing in smoked meats prepared in a pair of on-site smokers, Hammerheads still has plenty for veggie lovers. The venue also has been brightened up a bit with a splash of yellow paint and some additional lighting.
The new proprietors, Adam Burress and Chase Mucerino, veterans of the local dining scene, also installed a stuffed hammerhead shark just above the entrance to make sure nobody misses the joint.
My father grew up in the Swan Street neighborhood, so I invited him and my mom to join me in checking out the latest incarnation of a basement bar he once knew as Ed’s.
