We loved hanging out at the outdoor bar. It was beautifully covered by vines which made sitting outside a little less hot. There are long wooden picnic tables or metal 2-tops with mini bar stools. There were games to play including cornhole and Jenga. The only food we ordered were fried pickle chips to snack on while we enjoyed a couple hard ciders.

This is a great bar and has a great location but they no longer do the pay by phone system. This is probably fine for most but I personally really enjoyed coming here with a big group and not working about splitting tabs because everyone got their own thing. I hope they go back to the phone tab system because otherwise they are just another beer garden.

The kitchen is great. food was hot and came out fast. the fries were way over salted but that’s my only complaint about the food. Service on the other hand, sucked. the bartender was way more interested in talking with her coworkers and i think the manager then tending bar. I had to get her attention 3 times to order. there was only 3 of us at the bar. atmosphere and food was great, service need some major help…

This is my go to beer garden in center city. There's plenty of seating with different ambiance in the more rowdy middle section vs more private in the back with lawn games vs a charming wooden pergola draped in green vines.

There is a wide selection of beer and the service is excellent. The food is average, and a bit pricy.

100% worth visiting. It's a great place to go for locals or tourists alike.

Very good food. Simple bar food, reasonable prices, good service. Great location right across the street from Independence Hall and the Liberty Bell. On a VERY hot day (98+) this outdoor venue was surprisingly pleasant. In the breezeway between two entries to an office building, fully shaded, with a very nice breeze naturally flowing through the area. At least 10-15 degrees cooler than on the sidewalk in the sun.

Great place to escape the heat at lunchtime.
Stopped for some drinks and light lunch.
Plenty of shade and a nice through breeze - very welcome!
Ordered Philly Cheeseburger and a Cheese Toastie with fries. Delicious.
Service was excellent.
Looks like a great place to chill out.

Nice place, the service is okay. I didn’t like their lamp pita, it doesn’t taste like lamb at all, it taste like ground beef and it was over cooked, and dry. Fish tacos was good, and pork sandwich was tasty.

Very cool spot to hit up if you're looking for the beer garden experience. Spaces broken up through clever planning and decor so it gives a smaller more personal feel and is much bigger than it appears. There's a variety of seating styles available in this beautiful garden/terrace environment, from picnic and patio tables to Adirondack chairs at fire pits. Lush greenery covered pergola, a plethora of potted plants, and rustic chic decor transport you out of the city and into a fun backyard complete w string lights and cornhole. Of course, the food and drinks are great, offering your typical pub staples and some local gems thrown in. Order and pay all online via QR code on table. staff was welcoming, facilities were clean.
