YOUR 2025 MERCH MADNESS CHAMPION:

ROYAL TAVERN

Delicious City listeners have spoken: Royal Tavern is the new merch master of Philadelphia! They moved past Paffuto in the final round by just a few percentage points. It was a seriously tight race. 

This bracket was stacked with tough choices from start to finish, and there were hard-fought battles, but in the end, Royal Tavern took the crown. 

Philly's food scene doesn't just serve plates - it serves looks too. Massive thanks to everyone who voted, shared their faves, and made Merch Madness 2025 the wildest one yet.
