Kayleigh HarringtonAugust 14, 2017Great local beers, live music, and views of the river. Don't miss the fries with old bay horseradish sauce.
Emily M.July 22, 2013For a relaxed night out by the Delaware waterfront, give Morgan's Pier a shot. Reasonably priced drinks and food prepared by the former chef of East Passyunk's Stateside make for a great place!
AlexisSeptember 19, 2015This is a fun place! I come here for their Shrimp Cocktail Appetizers. They taste fresh!!!!!! I miss them in the Winter. They are heavy on the alcohol on their Slushy Drinks. They are not sweet at all
Enjoyed the outside scenery & yummy food. The beer selection was limited yet adequate. Will go back in the future.

Cameron BlankSeptember 29, 2014Great place to chill with a beer and hear the sound of water. They even have blankets if you get chilly.
Mike JohnsonJuly 20, 2017Nice outdoor space on the water. Skip the bar line and grab a beer from the Yards tent.
You can't beat a Watermelon Rickey, Burger & Fries and great tunes on the pier

Jessica NambudiriJune 10, 2012Vegan chorizo tacos are delicious and filling! $5 for two tacos! Taco taco!
CaseySeptember 9, 2012We got a personal escort under an umbrella from the restroom to the bar. Otherwise, it reminded me too much of regrettable Jersey Shore bars. Will try to go again to see if the crowd improves.- Philadelphia MagazineJanuary 14, 2013What isn't there to like about a solid outdoor bar on the riverfront. Is it Spring yet?
