When major events take over Philadelphia, Wicked Wolf moves fast, adapts, and maximizes every opportunity—proving why it’s a top destination for sports fans and nightlife seekers.

As Marketing Director, Neina Langford works to empower her team to anticipate high-demand moments, pivot operations, and create seamless experiences for guests. This flexibility has positioned Wicked Wolf as a leader in Philadelphia’s hospitality scene, consistently delivering high-energy, well-executed events that keep the crowds coming back.

Opening a restaurant requires more than just a great concept—it demands strategic planning, operational oversight, and marketing execution.

By translating the owner’s unique vision into an engaging and accessible experience, she helped position Unleashed Bark and Beer as a destination that bridges communities and attracts a broad audience.
