Cute space. Staff is friendly. Cocktails are great and not too strong/weak... just right!
I heard this place used to be a building that was burned down during the George Floyd riots and came back as this beer garden. The bathrooms are in trailers, but nice and drinks and food are both served out of trucks. There are tons of picnic style tables, both covered and uncovered. There is a small TV, but they had the audio on for the Monday Night Football game. My friends and I met up here after not seeing each other for awhile and had a great time! The environment was conducive to talking as it was open air so not too loud even though there was a decent amount of other people there. the service at the bar was great and everything was reasonably priced. You ordered food through a QR code on the table and they bring it out to you. Only upgrade would be to have more and bigger TVs.
They came to Philly to see Springsteen The second day, they needed a new scene. The wife exclaimed . "A Biergarten is near!" They walked a lap, And soon they were here. The ambiance was truly a dream.
Walnut garden was actually a super fun surprise. I've passed by this beer garden multiple times and now that the weather is warm, I was able to finally stop by for some shade and drinks. It was the middle of the day too so I paused my shopping for a bite. I got the cold sesame noodles as well as the fried cheese bites along with a cheesesteak. I was so surprised at how good everything was! I feel like beer garden food is usually just something that hits the spot and doesn't have to be great, but the food was actually really, really good. The noodles were flavorful and delicious and the udon they used was also the perfect texture. The cheesesteak was solid and also equally delicious. It was also nice to see a few offerings other than just simply burgers. We also each got I think a sangria. I can't remember exactly but they were excellent. Ordering was so convenient and everything came out pretty quickly. There were plenty of tables everywhere both outside in the full sun or under their covered area, and the trailer bathrooms were actually also not that bad and surprisingly clean. I would absolutely come here again, and for sure even recommend this for larger groups. The location of this spot is so convenient and a great place even to just sit for a bit for a quick drink or rest if you've been out shopping.
A perfect spot in the middle of center city! The food service was fast and the bar service even faster. Loved that the space was low key and that the service staff weren't too intrusive. They literally would just pop in to help clear things from the table! This is the perfect spot to catch up with friends or just take a breather from some shopping!
I always pass this place when I'm in Rittenhouse, and finally decided to go the other day. The pretzel bites are amazing. I'm not a big pretzel person but these were GREAT! Also tried the cheesesteak which was also amazing. Inside there is community seating, if you're coming with a did group I'd recommend getting there earlier to find an open table. At each bench there's a QR code to scan and a server brings the food right to your table. You can also pay on your phone which is plus. There's an automatic 20% gratuity added to all bills just fyi. Overall had a great experience and would come again.
I love this beer garden. The drinks are really tasty too! It's a great place to hangout when the weather is nice. They have small bites too. The cheesesteak here is surprisingly delicious!
I've been here twice now and both times have been really nice. I love the ambiance. It's like a hidden urban garden with a wall showing some graffiti and the rest the garden. There was a nice little breeze and the sun was shining both days. It kinda makes you forget you're in Philly a little. I'm a burger guy and the sweetness of the pepper jam mixed with the garlic mayo was tasty. The creamy sesame dressing on the noodles made the dish for sure and while I wasn't a fan of the avocado chimichurri the rest of the roasted cauliflower sandwich was good. While the food was good, I think what put this place at a 5 for me was the place itself and the staff. They know their stuff, move fast and are very hospitable.
Brisket Cheesesteak, Cheese Curds, Arugula Salad, Pinot Noir, Miller Lite, and the BEST part is a fresh Christmas Tree for 25.00!! Food, Drinks and Christmas... oh and Snow ;) I'm in Heaven! Winter Wonderland with Hot Toddys!
Super cute holiday pop-up right off of Rittenhouse Square! I love anything Christmassy and this really delivered! When you walk in there is a snow machine, so you are instantly put in the holiday spirit!! There are lots of spot for photo-ops and Instagrammable moments. The main tent area is heated and has snack/food options and a bar. They have some fun themed cocktails (boozy hot chocolate!!), cocktails on tap, full bar, wine, and beer. If you are making your rounds to all the Philly Holiday moments, this is a fun one to add to your list!!
