NORWOOD, Pa. (CBS) — It’s been two weeks since a Delaware County bar became the film location for a scene in a new TV series.
The owner of the bar is now speaking out about what he calls a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
“It was extraordinary,” said Matthew Ernst, the owner of Matthew’s Tavern on Winona Avenue in Norwood. “I mean, it was definitely an interesting thing to happen to Matthew’s Tavern, and we’re really grateful for it.”
Apple Studios recently spent three days at his bar filming a scene for the upcoming crime drama “Sinking Spring.” Ernst said crews were there from Jan. 30 to Feb. 1.

Ernst says crew members spent the first day taking everything off the walls, including the trophies, the pictures and the Delco sign. They then added their own props.
“The next day, it seemed like over 150 people showed up and that’s when they shot their scene,” Ernst said. “Some of the actors were correctional officer uniforms, which is kind of interesting because when they came up to the bar at first, I thought that they were real police, but they were just part of the show.”
