    The open air roof
    Abby S.

    This place was wonderful and completely unexpected. It's so amazing to find a place in the city of Philadelphia that is right on the water. I was not expecting anything to be that good and that you would be just paying for the experience, but I highly recommend this place. We tried a glass of wine, which was not great and overpirced for what it was, but get the tacos. We got the chicken tacos and they were delicious! This place was such a hero and I can't wait to return! Perfect place for a date night.

    Very chill and nice atmosphere. We visited on Saturday afternoon and it wasn't crowded at all. It was perfect weather even though it was overcast. The menu is a bit limited and I'd love to see some more options for drinks for sure. This is a great place to bring friends or out of town guests. Nice view, open and airy, just a great all around spot.

    Spent a beautiful day in the city. Started here for lunch- too gorgeous outside not to sit and feel the breeze by the river. We enjoyed beers and ciders, plus a killer hotdog and turkey panini. QR codes at the tables, where you order and pay. After this, we strolled the vintage market in the Pier. Worth a visit.

    Pulled Brisket tacos--dry meat, not enough flavor distributed

    This review is for the food. Very mediocre, but they at least give good portions and the service was fast at noon on a Saturday.

    Chips, Guac, Salsa, Tacos

    Such a cool vibe. Hidden in the back of an artists' enclave, this outdoor food and drink "garden" provides views of the water and Ben Franklin Bridge. Order F&B from a truck, get drinks and wait for text to let you know your food is ready. You gather food and utensils on cafeteria style trays and take to your table. My margarita cocktail was weak but canned beer delivered. Guac and salsa were yummy, as were chicken and veggie tacos. Lots of pups for petting, artists hard at work, and a nice breeze from the water. Negatives were an unpleasant aroma by the food truck and concrete flooring. Don't think our pup would be comfortable for very long. ‍

    What a wonderful spot to have a drink under the stars. This place is right on the water with views of the river. They have a variety of beer on tap and canned. Server was wonderful and tons of seating in there outdoor garden. Its open roof and breezy.

    Super cool area at the end of cherry street pier. You can't beat the unique location and view. Ordering system is super easy and convenient with QR code.

    Carnita tacos, nachos with brisket, frozen marg, frozen spiked lemonade

    Beautiful view of the river and delicious food and drinks. Chill atmosphere and not at all crowded when we went.

    Philly, we are not welcome here…read more Meet Henry, the manager at Fringe Bar. As a Northern Liberties resident, I've visited Fringe Bar several times and have generally enjoyed the experience before my recent experience with the manager. Unfortunately, my visit on June 13 around 4:30 PM completely changed my opinion of this establishment. My friend and I were seated and waited nearly 20 minutes before our food order was taken. Our server explained that their ordering system had gone down.... We were understanding and patient but to be honest it felt like she forgot. About 10 minutes later, we finally received our drinks, and our server shared that management had continued assigning her additional tables despite the issues, making it difficult for her to keep up. We sympathized with her and gave the staff plenty of grace. After waiting another 30 minutes, nearly an hour total since arriving, we still had not received our food. What made the situation even more frustrating was watching another table that arrived roughly 30 minutes after us receive their meals before we did. At that point, I approached Henry to ask about our order. I explained that we had been waiting for nearly an hour and that guests who arrived significantly later had already been served and they needed to hurry up with our food because we were hungry. Before I could even finish speaking, Henry interrupted me, stated that he would comp the food, and told us to leave. All I wanted was an explanation and asked that our order be prioritized after such a long wait. Instead of attempting to resolve the issue, Henry immediately escalated the situation and effectively removed us from the restaurant. The interaction felt dismissive, unprofessional, and completely lacking in customer service. Even another manager appeared surprised by how quickly our order was canceled and how the situation was handled. The entire experience left me feeling unwelcome and disrespected. Mistakes happen. Delays happen. What determines whether customers return is how management responds. Unfortunately, Henry's arrogance, poor communication, and inability to handle a reasonable customer concern ensured that I will never return. The attached photos include timestamps documenting our visit and the lengthy wait and a photo of Henry so you can avoid him. DO NOT COME.

She walked us through the menus, letting us know what was her favorites and what was the favorites of the regulars. We had the wing phlight and the eggrolls. They were honestly better than I expected. The Sriracha ketchup was divine. The portions were huge. I enjoyed the bowl of chili and the cornbread. I have no complaints and would definitely come back.

And also a lot of options for flights and stuff like that. My boyfriend and I were pretty hungry by the time we came in so we ordered the burgers since our server said they were known for them. We were so disappointed when they came out - they were literally the blandest burgers I have ever tasted in my life. The ambiance of the restaurant is really nice though. They have outdoor seating for when the weather is nice and a LOT of seating inside. It's almost set up like a giant cafeteria so there is a lot of space for big parties. Overall, I'd come here to get a couple drinks with my friends and maybe an appetizer or two. But don't expect the food to be anything great.

Several IPA's, lagers, stouts, etc to choose from and you won't be disappointed. As someone who seeks quality Belgian and craft beers, this is the place to be. And, that smash burger, oh my! The egg rolls and burrata salad are yummy too. That said, the service is very slow and you have to flag them down to order, for a refill, for the check, etc. you can (and should) do better here. Aside from that, they were also out of a few food items and beers so.... In any case, I'm hoping this is a blip. Cheers to continuing to do what you do well, and improving upon the other side of the house .

    This brewery has some of the best beer in the states in my opinion…read more We have been to over 100 breweries and its not uncommon for us to find one amazing beer or good all around but its rare to find a tone of amazing beers and that is what we found. Orange crush beer was amazing and if you like hazys with a very fruit forward taste (like me) this would be right down your ally. The Peanutbutter porter had great smooth peanutbutter taste without bwing overwhelming or too sweet. I think peanutbutter is perfect for porters and this is a prome examplem. Also i am really bias tword draft over canned but the pog sour was the best sour i have had in a long time. The perfect mix of sweet and sour with deep passion fruit and orange flavors. The staff is also phenomenal. Great with recommendations, super friendly and generous with samples. We talked to some of them for a long time while it was slower. The atmosphere is pretty great too. Huge bar island with good seating, and plugs that makes it easy to talk with people. The obey thing with the bar I would change is how close the chairs are. They were almost all touching so getting in is tricky. The internet was actually pretty good here too. We worked here for a few hours on a weekday and it was fast and quiet enough to work (though gets a bit louder later) I will be back whenever I can and if I ever live in philly again this will be my spot.
