Cocktails and skyline views on a historic Philadelphia waterfront patio
Evenings pair river-view cocktails and a cheeseburger inside a historic building that doubles as a Philadelphia theater bar.
🍸 Drinks by the Delaware
The old brick building on Columbus Boulevard reads like a relic, all arched windows and a steep slate roof, with the Philadelphia skyline stacked up behind it. Out front, a fenced patio fills with café tables the moment the weather turns, and the Delaware River sits a short walk away.
Inside, the menu leans easy and shareable. A crisp salad arrives beside a bright citrusy cocktail, tuna tartare comes scattered with radish and herbs, and the double cheeseburger lands with a stack of hand-cut fries. The patio stays busy once happy hour opens the riverfront tables to an after-work crowd.
It doubles as the theater bar for the FringeArts stage, and the room hums differently on performance nights. Arrive early for a drink outside, linger over small plates, and let the river breeze carry the evening.
