Feeling Curio, Philly?
Opening early 2026 on the ground floor of a new build in Fishtown, Curio will be an intimate restaurant and bar designed to spark curiosity and challenge the expected. Brought to life from the private art collection of Troy Timpel, founder of the Villain Arts Tattoo Convention and the Philadelphia Tattoo Arts Festival, Curio will invite guests to dine among rare finds, preserved artifacts, and relics reminiscent of the Mütter Museum. The beverage program will be smoky, sexy, and a little bit grungy. The Creole- and Cajun-inspired menu will deliver bold comfort with just enough twist to keep things interesting. More than a restaurant, Curio will be a destination for locals and travelers drawn to the uncommon.
