The Borough

Pizza, Sushi$-$$

Keith Critchley and JT O’Brien seem to be throwing everything at the Borough, their 400-seat restaurant in Downingtown. On the ground floor there’s a sports bar/restaurant with 40 TVs, 20 taps, and a full cocktail menu, connected to a large patio through garage doors. Upstairs, there’s a 20-seat bar, a six-seat sushi bar, and a venue for live music, karaoke, trivia and comedy.
