Char & Stave

Char & Stave is an all-day café and cocktail bar located at 21 Rittenhouse Place in Ardmore, PA, founded by the team behind Bluebird Distilling in nearby Phoenixville, PA, who applied their whiskey-making expertise to the craft of coffee roasting. The café serves small-batch roasted coffee — including a signature Bourbon Barrel Aged Coffee — in the mornings and Bluebird spirits-based cocktails in the evenings, with a second location in Philadelphia’s Chestnut Hill neighborhood. A community-oriented gathering spot, Char & Stave regularly hosts events such as trivia nights and live music, and has earned a strong local following for its inviting atmosphere and distinctive menu.
