We had a great time here in perhaps the hottest day of the year. Unfortunately we were seated upstairs where the air conditioning was struggling to keep up with the stifling conditions but we had a lovely server and some refreshments which helped. Our water and beverages weren't cold which I think was completely an attenuation to the day so I can't fault them too much on that. Excited to come back when it's not 110 degrees! read more

My friend and I came here for happy hour at the bar before a show at Citizens Park. It has a decent happy hour menu full of bites and drinks. I ordered the frose which was good and very strong. My friend had the blood orange margarita and she said it was pretty decent. Now for the food! We didnt want to get big bites so we just ordered a bunch of appetizers that seemed appealing. We got the old bay fries which came with a side of ketchup and cheese whiz. Very good seasoned fries and the cheese whiz was really good. We alsogot the lemon pepper wings which were alittle brunt and WAYYY too salty. It was a bit off putting. Even the ranch that came with it didnt help the saltiness. We got the fried mozzarella balls which were okay. They came out lukewarm. Not much seasoning in the breading. Overall the experience was okay! The food was a hit or miss but the drinks are pretty good. We were able to park on the street and walk over to the concert. It was pretty great to grab a bite before walking over. read more

A nice casual spot in the Navy Yard area of Philly with great drinks, food and weekly deals. Party of 2 grabbing dinner before a concert. The restaurant is super close to the Lincoln Financial Field where the show was and they were playing the artists' music throughout the place, which was a nice touch. We took advantage of their Monday 1/2 off burger deal and their happy hour drink prices - our food was great (the wings were cooked perfectly!) and the blood orange margarita was lovely. We enjoyed our meal and drinks, but the best thing about our experience was the service. Our server, Chris, was awesome! He had great recommendations and was super attentive. Overall, we had a great experience and agreed we'd be back! read more

Very ok. I like the casual vibe and they have a nice patio. All the staff seem to be nice. I ordered the Caesar salad with blackened shrimp. If you typically don't like a lot of dressing this isn't the salad for you. The dressing is creamy and a little too much for me. I prefer to taste more lettuce than dressing, but still a good flavor. You might not see the shrimp, but they have a decent amount, I just chopped them up before the photo. I also really enjoyed the Sauvignon Blanc. I did a taste of the Sauvignon and the Pinot Grigio and the Sauvignon won for me. Crisp and light. I wasn't able to capture the actual name of the wine before they took the menu. I came in for a quick lunch that was close to the airport. Mission accomplished. read more

Cute spot right by the entrance of the Navy Yard, there's indoor and outdoor seating. Food was good, especially the fried chicken sandwich and the fried avocado burger except for the fries. The texture was great but they were super salty and I couldn't finish it. I also got the fried cod tacos but they were ok. The fried fished lacked in flavor but everything else was fine. We did take out since we got there too late to dine in but food came out quick. read more

Came in for a quick lunch with some colleagues! Plenty of seating both indoors and out! Unfortunately parking is very limited and can definitely be a challenge on busier days. Quick tip - if you are coming with others try and carpool! Staff was incredibly friendly and very accommodating even for our large group. Even when it came time for the bill we were able to pay individually as a party of 7! Food here is awesome! I would highly recommend the spicy tuna nachos or any of the burgers! The only meal that has disappointed me here were the fish tacos. Also, they do half priced burgers on Mondays what a deal! ***SECRET TIP*** If going to a Phillies game (on a monday) find street parking close to the restaurant by the Courtyard Marriott. Then, walk over to the gatehouse for happy hour, a half priced burger, and 20% off by showing your Phillies tickets! Finally, walk over to the ball park (10min of walking) and enjoy the game! read more

Gatehouse - Black & Blue Burger with side of fries - Bars Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

The fish and chip were delicious. Great outdoor seating. Good service. Good location.

Food was great, wings platter is a must. Quick service and a great spot to stop before a game.

Definitely a good find with a lovely view of the Navy Yard! Went here for a dinner on a roadtrip with my sister and was so happy with our choice. We went at around 5:30 on Monday so we were able to take advantage of their amazing happy hour and burger deal. On Mondays all burgers are half off and you should definitely take advantage of this. I tried the black and blue burger and it was flavorful and juicy. I would have liked some lettuce and tomato but should have added this myself. Staff was friendly and accommodating, as this was my first time in Philadelphia and I was surprised by the level of hospitality. All in all if you are in the area definitely checkout Gatehouse! read more

I stopped in after getting good news from the drs office to celebrate. I didn't have any food but had a few beers at the bar. They had a great selection although I was a little disappointed because I thought they had their own beer. The service was excellent and the place was very clean. Watching the bartender train another employee I could tell the drinks were gonna be awesome. She was very detailed friendly and clearly took pride in what she was doing. read more

More like $$$ than $$. service borderline slow Who ever made the po'boy I ordered has never been to Louisiana but it was edible. the waiter did not look hygienic let alone professional. Dont take the elevator, I think it is in need of service/maintenance. I was terrified about the 1 floor descent read more

Our group of 6 went to the Gatehouse before a concert at the Wells Fargo Center, parked in WFC, walked here, easy in and out. It was a Saturday night, and we made a reservation, I expected it to be busy with all the concerts going on was pleasantly surprised to get seated immediately (early), quick service, good food, and a decent price, for a city restaurant. Food was good, all except the shrimp Poboy, which had four medium shrimp, and they were cooked to be hard as a rock. Not what I expected for a poboy, disappointed. I broke my own rule by trying poboys outside of the New Orleans area. Rosemary chips were decent, crispy, but the rosemary is overwhelming anything around the chip. But, other than that, Fried Chicken Sandwich, Brussels Sprouts, Wings, all good, service was spot on, would go back and try other options (not a PoBoy), as the place was nice, convenient, and worked for us. read more

Love this place! From its accommodating staff to quick and experienced servers, we always have a great time. Their HH specials are unreal and their food menu is great for a casual bite.

Lots of ruined potential here. Great location with outdoor seating. There was a Flyers home playoff game and the place barely had a soul. Ordered the chicken teriyaki tacos only to have the tortillas be extremely stale. Such a simple part of the tacos; how does one mess this up? read more

This was a fun stop very close to our hotel. There is inside and outside seating as well as upstairs seating with live music outside. Very cool environment and fun to people watch. It is very laid back and seems to be popular. Our server, Denny was excellent! He was funny, made some great recommendations and ensured that we had everything that we needed. The food was interesting. It is more of a hang out instead of upscale. Wings, burgers, and bites. Everything was good. The avocado burger was delicious. I opted for lettuce instead of a bun and was pleasantly surprised to receive butter lettuce. My coworker ordered the wings and she said they were good. We shared fried cheese which of course was delicious. Happy we stopped in. read more

We stopped at gatehouse prior to a concert at the Wells Fargo center and were very pleased with our choice. Food: my wife and I both got burgers and my brother in law got the cod sandwich (not pictured). We all really enjoyed our sandwiches. The black and blue had a lot of blue cheese and had perfectly cooked bacon. The fries were also crispy and well salted. Service: our server was very attentive and brought over everything that we needed. Our food came out much quicker than expected which was nice Ambiance: it's a more casual spot with burgers, sandwiches and wings but it's nice inside. The restaurant is well decorated and it's separated with the bar area downstairs and seating upstairs. The bathrooms were all really clean as well read more

I loved my Shrimp Po Boy, very crispy shrimp along with fries. Would get it again. Servers were chill, no complaints. I went at first to eat at 3pm on a weekday, it was tranquil and then I arrived there for happy hour. The ambiance is busy and energetic for happy hour, especially right before a 76ers game. Recommend to enjoy happy hour here for their $5 beer and $5 starters, and just walk 5 mins to any of the stadiums.

Great experience! Quick meal before taking my daughter to the Philadelphia Airport for a trip.

I highly suggest their fried chicken wings, which served with blue cheese dip! In addition to that, I recommend any of their finger food meus because of the price (only during the happy hour). Their pizza dish was okay, not too outstanding. Their pizzas were too bready & thick to me since I personally prefer thin crust pizza. I probably will only come here during the happy hour or just for their fried chicken wings (take-out) when I'm nearby navy yard. read more

A wonderful surprise in the middle of nowhere (really it's right at the front gate of the former Philadelphia Navy Yard). It's within walking distance of Philly's 3 pro sports venues and it's a wonderful reuse of an old Navy Gatehouse! Our server was Deney. Ask for him if you come here. He was VERY HELPFUL with just the right recommendations for dinner and was sure to suggest we come back the next day for dinner before our 7 PM Flyer's game. The food was delicious. The menu had just about anything you could imagine in lighter fare. Soups, sandwiches, several larger entrees and a full bar menu. Go here. Ask for Deney. Shrimp Po' Boy was a big hit. read more

Visited this establishment on 8/13. The male bartender wearing the elements fest wristband was so rude, it was un real. I get it, you are coming down from your weekend high, but don't take it out on me. As a fellow bartender, get it together. And more than anything... stay away from any music festival, you are not PLUR and do not deserve to be there. Check yourself, I shouldn't have even given you a tip, but I know you pull and the manager with the glasses was awesome. read more

Solid spot and great outdoor spot. Clearly this is a "off the beaten path" for stadium goers as well. The spicy tuna nachos were clutch - edamame, jalapeños, tuna, and spicy mayo (these are more a "dry" nacho. They could have used more spicy mayo but overall good.) The jerk shrimp starter was good as well with mango, red peppers and five shrimp. The old bay fries were a decent portion and great to share. Our only complaint was the drinks were under poured. They should have been finished off higher for the price. Otherwise great spot! read more

Location is pretty cool. Right next to the navy yard. A cool outdoor area with string lighting. About a 7-10 minute walk to Wells Fargo center and the other Philly sports venues. I had lemon pepper wings- good and crispy and the tuna nachos which are made with egg roll wraps as the chips-loved these! I was drinking the blood orange margaritas-just ok. Finished up with the turkey burger with a side salad. The burger came with a double patty that were juicy and cheesy-yum. Would eat here again, especially if heading to one of the nearby venues afterwards. read more

High-quality friendly efficient. Services top-notch prices affordable and high-quality delicious food

I've wanted to stop by this location for quite awhile to have their Cacio e Pepe which is a simple pasta dish of cheese and pepper, but if done properly has lots of flavor. On their menu it appears as TONNARELLI "CACIO E PEPE". The parking lot was full, but street parking was available. The bar area downstairs was pretty empty, I was seated at a table in the crowded upstairs area. The atmosphere itself was ok. The inside is an obvious retrofit of an old Navy Yard building. The bathrooms were very clean and nicely put together. The table arrangements had most tables in a main area with a smaller seating area that looked like a glassed off "event" area. The lunch crowd was mainly business folk and most of them were there when I arrived and still there after my meal. "Work meetings" :) The bar area downstairs seems nice with tables scattered in an area opposite the bar. Exposed ceiling, stone and cinder block walls gave you an idea of the buildings construction. The menu had a nice balance of offerings, mostly simple standards with a twist. The service was prompt and my food came out quickly despite how crowded the room was. (Looked like most people either already ate their lunch or were working on their liquid diet!) The Cacio e Pepe came out great. The dish had a great balance of creamy cheese with a sharp flavor and a perfect black peppercorn bite. The Tonnarelli pasta was al dente and your teeth cut right through it. On first look the dish didn't seem like a big one, but the bowl was pretty deep. A very filling dish, but each bite was equal parts sharp pecorino cheese and spicy black peppercorns. The taplist although small, had a nice craft IPA that went nicely with my meal. If I was in the area for a game or a work lunch I would frequent here, but there are better options in South Philly. Having said that it is a close Cacio E Pepe getaway from the office so I'll return! read more

Great service, beautiful view, terrible food. Everything was great but lunch was embarrassingly bad. Stick to drinks only.

The food was bland and the service was poor. My daughter did not like the Mac and cheese. Had to ask the waitress 3 times for my drink. Nice location though. read more

Located in the Philadelphia Navy Yard right in the shadows of the old ships! We stopped in for lunch & it was dynamite! Great burgers & vegan selections. The French Onion soup is a great started & just order the house made chips w/ onion dip as soon as your friendly server takes your drink order! If weather permits, grad an outside table! read more

Nice little escape from the city - right in the Navy Yard! I found the place easily accessible and really appreciated that they have parking right on site. Since we came after the Navy Yard had closed, we drove up to the guard at the entrance and he waived us through after explaining that we had dinner plans at this location. Upon entering, you can tell the space is lively, with patrons sitting at the outdoor area taking in the ambiance of a summer night. This sister site of the CC location has a more laid back atmosphere. There's incandescent lighting outside, and inside there's a full bar that greets you and plenty of high top seating with TV screens along the perimeter. The host that met us was very nice and let us know to self seat ourselves (there was plenty of seating inside), and she sent a waiter our way to get our drink orders. The menu looked to be inspired but nothing too crazy. We ordered the nachos, cauliflower, ricotta and jam bruschetta, and grilled avocados. We ordered off the small plates menu and just family styled the whole meal with our party of 3. The food was tasty, with everyone agreeing the ricotta dish to be the standout. The cauliflower was cooked well enough but I was hoping for a little more flavor to shine through. I enjoyed the avocados - they were grilled so the char on them injected a new taste profile that I usually don't have when eating an avocado. The service was quick and the waiter was great with filling and refilling our drinks. Overall a pleasant experience and happy with their multitude of veggie friendly options. I can see this place to be a good happy hour spot or where to chill during game days (especially given the proximity to the sports complexes.) Enjoy!! read more

This is one time that Yelp reviews steered me wrong. Went there before a concert. Would have been better off with concession food at the Wells Fargo Center. The fried food which was mozzarella sticks and a chicken sandwich was burnt and tasted like it was cooked in year old oil. Even the cocktails were dismal. Service was slow and the staff unfriendly. Ambiance very industrial, cold style. On a positive note, the restaurant and bathrooms were very clean. I choose Gatehouse because it's walking distance of the concert venue and all the good reviews which I find quite shocking. Not worth the convenience of a few block walk. With all the great restaurants in Philly, I won't make this mistake again! read more
