Have come to the pier a few times to enjoy the different exhibits and artist studios. Super cool use of the space. Has always been clean when I've visited. Has cute food trucks and outstanding views! Love the community space being utilized for the aftermath of a local run club! Great way to spend an afternoon! read more

I had been at the pier in the summer and the trailers were being used for entirely different purposes. The Pier is a responsive public forum, and the Platform is a revolving and adaptable performance venue, gallery, recreation area, and event space curated for and by the community. There is no cost to enter the space and enjoy at your leisure. Th market hosts local merchants and artisans sell their goods and crafts along an open-air corridor in the Pier's main thoroughfare. On special market days, this bazaar-like commercial space supports emerging Philly artists and gives visitors a chance to buy one-of-a-kind creations. In average meals are a great value. We visited on a Wed around 1:00 PM and most of the concessions were closed but menus bragged tacos, artisan beers, donuts, ice cream and much more. Taste an inspired selection of local food and drink, sold out of historic trolley cars. The garden is complete with concessions, ample space for recreation and relaxation, and newly accessible views of the Delaware River. The security officer at the front is very congenial and happy to point you to other neighborhood gems. Service was good considering we didn't purchase much. We just sat in the cozy/ heated tents to keep warm read more

What a delight! Always! I have been here in the summer and I have been here in the winter. Both are beautiful in their own way. But the autumn? Wow! Walk through, admire the beautiful art created by local artists and then buy a cocktail from one of the venders in the pier and sip by the water talking to one of your friends from first grade that made a trip in from St. Louis. Or sip by yourself or with a new friend or partner or anyone... because the views of the water, the orange leaves on trees and everything about this place is magical. read more

The cherry street pier is an excellent outdoor market area to spend some time during the day. Filled with local artists stores and some food trucks to get food and drinks. This is an an easy and family friendly area of all ages. The place was clean and you get a great view of the Delaware River. read more

I happened to be going through my camera roll. These photos are actually from 2022. I like the installation because I'm big on artistic expression. They had vendors out this day. It was a nice walk through area. read more

This is the perfect spot for an outdoor drink on the water and a great view of the Benjamin Franklin bridge. There are 2 bars out back with beer on tap, frozen cocktails, other canned bevvies, and even some food options. There's is plenty of seating, good music playing, and I can see this being a really fun spot for locals to hang out. The weather was beautiful, so I was surprised to see how dead it was for a Sunday afternoon. The remainder of the pier looks like it's used as artist spaces inside shipping containers which is a cool concept. For such a massive place, it seems like they could really use some anchor businesses and more food options inside to help drive traffic. It's definitely a great mixed use event space and perfect for pop-up markets. Maybe we just went during an off time, especially since football season hasn't officially started yet. Nonetheless, we enjoyed the good music playing and scenic views of sailboats on the Delaware River. read more

Wind up here a few times a year, typically when they have a special exhibit or whatnot. Not a whole lot to see if there's no exhibit here unless you have business/arrangements with the artists/groups that have an address here. Nice place to go after you do the walk of the Race Street Pier which is right next door. If you've never been to either, check it out. read more

Spontaneously, decided to take myself on a solo date after work to Cherry Street Pier. I did not know what to expect, and it was an interesting place to explore. Stopped by on a Wednesday evening, which was one of the hottest days of the summer. Yikes! It's apparently open to look at the art, etc., but the different businesses weren't open. So, maybe on the weekends it's more lively and you can purchase stuff lol. I walked towards the back to the beer garden. It was colorful and cool to see the Ben Franklin Bridge as well as the water. Ordered 2 birria brisket. Unfortunately, this could not be substituted for another meat and I'm not really into brisket, but it was very flavorful. I tried their "peachy keen" drink that was blue from the blue curaçao. The drink was very weak. It was nice to be at Cherry Street Pier during the week where it's super chill, but I will be back to explore again on the weekend when it seems to have more things happening. read more

I'm surprised more people don't visit here. But frankly I'm happy about that. It's a nice chill vibe right along the river. It's dedicated to artists so on the regular there's always something new to explore here. Its location also makes for a great half day of exploring because it's right next to race Street pier and a little north of Spruce St. Harbor Park. the area is very walkable and it's some thing I find myself doing on the regular. There's also dedicated lanes for runners, onewheels, and bicycles. Back to Cherry Street pier... Walk all the way to the back and the building opens up to plentiful seating and the river. It's a great place to have some beers and light food like tacos. Keep your eye out for events like open mic nights. It's an especially beautiful place to catch sunset. And again many people just do not know about it. Or they are unable to get to it. Either way it's something worth checking out. read more

Came here a little after 4pm and it seemed like things were starting to open. Parked in a metered spot right out front. Saw art work that had been up in celebration of Juneteenth. Saw a lot of studio space for artist and some were there working as we were just strolling along. There were big tables set up for people to gather, eat, play games etc. we saw people we brought there own food sitting n eating, others playing games at a table. As you walk further back, there's a taco food truck in the back and they server alcohol. The tacos and fries were very good, the drinks were ok. Again, more tables and chairs set up and the view is just amazing. Nice chill spot, great location to just walk around. read more

It looked interesting and has potential, but the art exhibits could be better. I bet the out door bar at the back could be fun too could use more food options. Maybe live music read more

Cherry Street Pier - Looking at the pier across the way - Public Markets Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

My friend and I stumbled upon this place by accident - I guess you can say serendipity. We were walking around the waterfront area since she'd never really hung out in Philly (outside of a class fieldtrip to see the Liberty Bell when she was in middle school). I've grown to really love Philly in recent years and wanted to hit up some of my favorite neighborhoods with her. That day, we both discovered Cherry Street Pier and it's been a repeat visit since. We're both fans of public art, so this was great. I love the way they use shipping containers for studios and exhibits. The garden was cool, too. It's accessible for all people and ages. I recommend visiting if you are in the area especially when the weather is nice. read more

Went here with my son to get some food and to check out the view. As we walked in, saw there was a lot of art. We did not go out of our way, but what we saw was good. We wanted tacos and bottles of water, ordering was easy and the cashier was friendly and cheerful, price was reasonable. We then found a nice place to sit which had a really nice view of the Ben Franklin Bridge. Our order was ready fairly quickly and staff again very friendly and thankful for our business. I went with pulled brisket (pictured w/chimichurri guacamole, queso fresco, and fried onions) and my son went with jerk chicken (not pictured w/pickled red cabbage, queso fresco, chipotle mayo). I traded him one of my tacos for one of his, both were really good! Definitely worth visiting, would go back and try some other menu items! read more

Love this place. There's art, maker space, education, and a great outdoor eatery. I've visited the different marketplaces (fermentation, art, vintage). I've toured the art exhibits. I've seen the galleries and art studios. I like that it is here and supporting artists. There's art education for children, which is cool. As for the garden, it's great especially in pandemic times. It's a fun place to get food and drink in a pretty setting and outdoors where social distancing is easier. Taco Tuesday is a great deal, too! read more

Cherry Street Pier - Beautiful night! - Public Markets Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

This is a very cool hangout spot especially on a beautiful fall day. What a smart transformation to add to the Philadelphia waterfront. I was there for the liberty flea and they had a nice amount of vendors with a variety of items at great prices. There's also permanent stores of local artisans. There is a café in the rear that offers a variety of food options and lots of beer and wine options. You can sit on the "inside" or out by the waterfront. I got lucky and got free parking right out front. I also appreciated that they had real bathrooms with real running warm water! Definitely a nice spot to hang out! read more

"Sometimes the grass is greener on the other side, but what happens when the side you're on is the green that everyone is admiring?" This. This is what it feels like overlooking the shining, glimmering Delaware river from the Cherry Street Pier. This is the spot to be when you're on this side of town looking for a fun time with great friends and loved ones! The Venue Located right next to B. Franklin's bridge, this pier welcomes tourists, locals, artists, creatives, and everything in between you can think of. Stop by during the day and you enjoy little pop-up shops with fun trinkets and the sorts commemorating this deeply rooted city or keeping up with social issues that are constantly on-going in our world. If you head up to the second floor you can peruse and support local artwork or admire the artists at work in their little studios. One thing is for sure, day or night, there is plenty for you to go through and discuss amongst yourself or your group! Great for dates, self-reflection, and friendly conversations :) Can I eat or drink? If you continue to walk towards the end of this pier, there is a foodie and beer garden that is family friendly and welcomes everyone from all walks of life! Keep in mind you have to stay in the area to enjoy your alcoholic beverages and seating is first come first served so be cordial, take a seat and enjoy your time here! There are plenty of unique food items that are both originally Philly and unique spin-offs from classic items such as the Philly Cheesesteak. Pair that with a mouth-watering soda or a fresh-off-the-tap pint and you're ready to sit and grub! The food items are a little more on the higher priced side but that's more of a friendly note seeing as the food is still good and tasty. Final thoughts? It's great eating, watching people ride their jetskis, boats, and clouds pass by throughout the day. If you want some time away from the center of the historic downtown and want to enjoy a summer night or a spring time afternoon, Cherry Street Pier is a solid reliable here on the east side of town! read more

The Cherry Street Pier is a trendy hangout spot overlooking the Delaware River and Ben Franklin Bridge to NJ. Be sure to check out the Liberty Flea Market, which pops up from 10 am to 5 pm on the last Saturday and Sunday in May through August. I was able to purchase the cutest little salt and pepper shakers that I am so excited about! The pier is lined with a variety of vendors from local artists with handmade crafts or thrifted goods. When you walk further out there is plenty of seating and some food/drink options to enjoy by the water. I ordered a watermelon salad, which was a bit overpriced but a nice refreshing treat after a bit of shopping. read more

So, unbeknownst to the Pier, my husband and I hosted a little "welcome gathering" here for some out of towners the weekend of celebrating our wedding! We had about 30 people coming in total for Saturday stuff and about 30-40% were coming in from out of the area on Friday night. We didn't want to book a space and do anything fancy (our wedding celebration was literally at the baseball game on Saturday so ... we are casual people!) and we really wanted to keep things outdoors or outdoors-adjacent as much as possible, so we told everyone to meet us at Cherry Street Pier at 6pm on Friday 9/23. It was absolutely perfect! There were some people hanging out in the garden area but overall it was pretty quiet. Possibly because there was an art exhibit that just opened the night before and there would be an event for it the following night -- Friday ended up being quiet. The SPCA was there with some adoptable doggos and puppieeees which was fun. The food area is much bigger than I remember. I thought it was just one food truck parked just inside the building but now it's a couple trucks where you order vs. pickup. The website seems to indicate the only food option is tacos and that wasn't true! There was also a Mexican cheesesteak and some other things available. Me being pregnant and a little fussy, we ate before we came, but our guests snacked on the food available and thought it was yummy. Later I did get some chips and guacamole and I thought it was good -- not overly cilantro-y, and I liked the chunks of avocado. Overall we just kind of mulled around and mingled with each other and there was ample space to do so. We moved inside when the sun went down because it got very chilly on the water in the garden, and the table/chairs inside aren't super comfy for hanging out. I think they're used for art classes so I guess that makes sense. The bathrooms aren't anything to write home about, but there ARE bathrooms (not portapotties) and that's a plus when you're showing up with a crowd! Everyone loved the uniqueness of the space and the art. The one exhibit, In These Strange and Uncertain Times, was familiar to me and my husband because that window text was close to the apartment we lived in during the pandemic when we were forced to elope. It kind of brought it all full circle for us and was a really special touch to it all. Overall, highly recommend if you need a space to go with a group on a Friday night and just linger!! Just check their website to make sure they're not closed for an event, or to know if they're open during an event there may be a crowd. read more

The Cherry Street Pier was a nice little artsy area where you can check out local art while having a view of the pier! We were walking around the riverfront and got to have a sneak peak at this place and it was a nice little place to appreciate local artists while being able to purchase some artwork as well! At the end of the pier, they do have a beer gareen which was unfortunately closed (I think they open closer to evening time). It's a great place to check out some local artwork -- unfortunately, I'm not the hugest fan of art so I was just browsing and walking around but my friend had a great time browsing and looking through local art! It's a great place to just walk around and I think it definitely gets more traffic on the weekends because when we went on a weekday afternoon, it was unfortunately not that poppin'. read more

A great addition to the waterfront! The space is rehabbed but the vines are intact. It has an industrial, gritty vibe that is reminiscent of its origin. Several retail spaces and an exhibition space are in one side. The other side has views of the bridge. Walking straight back through the cavernous space you see a beautiful view of the river and Camden. The Garden in the back has table and chair seating and a bar. It's a perfect place to sit and relax. There is also seating and a few food options throughout. A jazz band was playing the day I was there. There is also a bathroom open to the public. It's the only bathroom available between Penns Landing. read more

Cherry Street Pier is a great place to unwind and relax by the water!! It's the perfect summer treat for all ages! It's pure happiness in a pier lol! I visited Cherry Street Pier for their Food Trust Market festival and when I arrived at the Pier, I noticed a very large warehouse type of building that had lots of vendors such as a vendor for produce, ice cream, smoothies and much more. Cherry Street Pier also has an educational area that gives background information on the South Philly area. It has two levels and on the 2nd level of the building are paintings by local philly artist. Overall Cherry Street Pier is open all year round with events happening on a regular basis. Check out their website to get the latest on their next event! read more

This space is AWESOME. I attended an event here as part of a conference, but it's clear this space serves many purposes, including: public park, artist studios, farmers' market and general gathering space. Cherry Street Pier was a fruit and vegetable shipping pier along the Delaware River and the place where the very first banana entered the United States - fun fact. It has since been reimagined into a gorgeous multiuse space. Thank you to Carla Fisher, a fiber artist, for telling our group more about the history and use of the Pier. Stop in to her artist studio (all located within shipping containers) to see her incredible work and visit her dog, Luke. And definitely walk out to the pier to see the Ben Franklin Bridge, Delaware River and Camden, NJ across the water. We were lucky enough to witness a stunning sunset! The beautiful string lights were a lovely touch, too. I would love to visit this space when it's activated with many people! read more

I visited Cherry Street Pier during the first week of opening. I wanted to experience all the hype and excitement that Cherry Street Pier had to offer. The art installations were cool throughout the location and I like the small galleries showing the work of local artists. The space is wide open and has much space for expansion of other projects as time goes on. There were food trucks offering food and there is sitting throughout the space to people watch as you eat some small bites. I am hopeful that the space will continue to offer artists the opportunity to showcase new and interesting installations and exhibits. I am interested to see how the space will evolve over time and how it will be utilized during the colder weather. read more

Cherry Street Pier is such a unique, beautiful, and much welcomed addition to our wonderful city. Whether you're looking for beautiful views, unique art installations, local vendors, or just a place to enjoy some fresh air, Cherry Street Pier offers a true reflection of the best of what makes Philly such an amazing place to live. Three cheers for the curators for repurposing a large abandoned industrial waste of space into gathering place for the entire community. This is a true city park, open from morning until night, no entry fees, no cost to indulge in the beautiful sights of the Ben Franklin bridge, Delaware river, and the nearby laneways of Old City. This is not the easiest place to access by car, as street/metered parking nearby is limited. However, you can easily utilize the Indego Bike Dock, MFL, bus lines, or various rideshare options to access this space. I typically either walk from an Old City street spot or bring a Lyft. While there's not cost to enjoy this space, bring some loose change and indulge in a cone of Little Baby's ice cream or a cold draft beer. Keep tabs on the Cherry Street Facebook page for updates regarding cool events like art installations, craft fairs, food markets, and music performances. This is such a nice, happy, feel-good spot, and I'm already looking forward to my next visit. read more

Cherry Street Pier is one of those new park experiences that I was yearning for the moment that I heard about it. And when I first heard that my beloved Indonesian spot Hardena was slated to be one of their food options, I immediately marked opening day on my calendar. And this is how I came to arrive early and type my review while I wait for them to officially open up for a Press Event thing in a few minutes! Arriving early means you get to preview a bit with minimal hassle. And with its pristine waterfront view, 3 trolley car food stations, bar space, see saws that can be illuminated, ample seating spaces, artist spaces, and... typewriters?, Cherry Street Pier has a lot of interesting things that you can enjoy. Because I arrived early on the first day the bar wasn't ready, and some of the food stations were just setting up. But Hardena hooked up the tastiest and juiciest lamb satay that I ever savored. And it should pair well with some Little Baby's Ice Cream once they're ready. The sound of the drums officially means that they're open and it's time to grab a Troegs Master of Pumpkins. But be sure to check here out during the Festival of People! read more

An interesting concept that allows people and their pets to walk around, drink, relax, and look at various art works from local artists. It's essentially a giant warehouse turned hip and very spacious. It's free to walk-in and open to all ages. I saw many parents bringing their kids and strollers around. The seesaws were really cool since they glowed and they had these rainbow glass prism installations that you could spin around. A lot of people headed out to the end of the pier to take pictures of the water view, especially pretty during sunset. There isn't much food since it's just three food "trolleys." But you can bring outside food and drink. There are a couple little patio table and chairs/benches to sit at. There were two stories of studios to the left for artists to display their pieces and some were available for sale. Others were selling T-shirts and knick knacks. Kind of reminds me of pop-up Etsy shops. Apparently, they'll have different events next week but it's definitely worth taking a quick look if you're in the area. I think it would be a great location for local bands/musicians to play. read more

Love the spot, especially for what's around it. We love Race St Pier, and having that right next door to a sheltered pier is great. The constantly changing art keeps it fresh, public bathrooms are a godsend and there's food and drink too?! I want a fan of the taco salad - it was too light with lots of lettuce and very little beans, corn, avocado. The tacos were also very small for the prices. The drinks are just fine of course. The garden at the back is lovely, overlooking the water. We often head to Spruce St harbor Park before or after and I'm excited to see more of the waterfront converted to commercial use read more
