Gilpin's opens third sandwich location, providing late-night dining option in Mt. Adams


Frequent visitors to Clifton Heights and downtown are sure to have visited Gilpin’s Steamed Grub for late-night food runs, but owner Brad Gilpin isn’t stopping at just two locations. He’s partnered with Quincy’s Bar and Lounge in Mt. Adams to open a third Gilpin’s.
 
“I’ve always wanted to be in Mt. Adams, and the timing is now right,” Gilpin says.

He says Gilpin's will offer something that he feels is missing in Mt. Adams, a late-night food option. A majority of the neighborhood’s restaurants stop serving food at about 11 p.m., and Gilpin's will cater to those who have the munchies beyond that.

Gilpin's partnership with Quincy's also allows customers to grab a bite to eat along with a beer.
 
The Mt. Adams location will serve Gilpin’s new late-night menu, which features sandwiches that can’t be found anywhere else, out of the window behind Quincy’s, 1101 St. Gregory St.
 
The menu includes favorites like the Doritos, which is turkey, steam melted cheddar and lettuce topped with crushed nacho cheese Doritos and a parmesan peppercorn ranch honey mustard, all on a pretzel bun; and the Pride of Porkopolis, smoked pulled pork, bacon, BBQ sriracha mayo and lettuce topped with crushed BBQ chips.
 
A new sandwich on the menu is the Nutella Fluffernutter, Gilpin’s first venture into a sweet sandwich. Nutella, peanut butter and marshmallow fluff are all steamed together to create a melty, delicious mess.
 
Gilpin’s in Mt. Adams opened July 3 and serves 10 p.m.-3 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays. Depending on its popularity, hours could expand in the near future.
