I heard this place used to be a building that was burned down during the George Floyd riots and came back as this beer garden. The bathrooms are in trailers, but nice and drinks and food are both served out of trucks. There are tons of picnic style tables, both covered and uncovered. There is a small TV, but they had the audio on for the Monday Night Football game. My friends and I met up here after not seeing each other for awhile and had a great time! The environment was conducive to talking as it was open air so not too loud even though there was a decent amount of other people there. the service at the bar was great and everything was reasonably priced. You ordered food through a QR code on the table and they bring it out to you. Only upgrade would be to have more and bigger TVs. read more

Their security team is unprofessional and used vulgar language at potential customers while denying them entry

great casual outdoor beer garden in the heart of rittenhouse! Good drinks, but food could be better. Super nice chill vibe for summer nights with friends, or come in the day for families. They have some TVs to catch games but no sound on. drinks are around $12-16 read more

The food was decent,.the staff was rolling with the punches as the taps were not working and the bathrooms had issues. My biggest problem was the 24% increase in the food costs... 20% tip was mandatory, and the three and a half percent credit card charge was added even though there's no way to pay with cash. Bar took cash, so that made pricing at least honest for the drinks. read more

PHILADELPHIA, PA: an oasis in the middle of the city, Walnut Garden serves up food and drinks in an urban garden. Nestled between 2 buildings, the beautiful outdoor space is full of picnic tables and a tented area, where leashed and friendly dogs are allowed to join you for some food and drinks. The food menu boasts sandwiches and salads and there is a full bar with specialty cocktails, canned beverages, wine, beer, and non-alcoholic options. It started raining while we were there and were able to take cover comfortably under the tent that also had a TV with the Phillies game on. Open 7 days a week, check their website for current hours. read more

Cute beer garden in the heart of Philly! Decent selection of beer and cocktails, and, as others mentioned, the food is better than you'd expect for some quick bar bites. We went after visiting the Christmas market at city hall, which is only a short walk away. They really go all out with their Christmas decor, which was much appreciated. They also have cozy indoor seating with heaters. You scan a QR code to place your food order, and there's no servers involved, but there is an automatic 20% gratuity added to the bill, just as an fyi. Only thing I would recommend is more/bigger tvs for sporting events. Overall, would recommend! read more

Gotta give it a 5/5! No reason not to! came here for a few beers before the Phillies game and it was awesome. I didn't get any of the food, but there was a food truck posted up with some good looking finger foods. If the weather is good next time I'm in Philly, I'd come back for sure read more

This place is very cute. Great for hanging out with friends. They have a few bars and also food. Its dog friendly so you will see a bunch of people with their pups. The whole place is outside and the tables are on the ground (dirt)... I mention it because I had heels on that day and it was not the ideal footwear for this place. Lol. I would definitely come back here with friends. read more

I always pass this place when I'm in Rittenhouse, and finally decided to go the other day. The pretzel bites are amazing. I'm not a big pretzel person but these were GREAT! Also tried the cheesesteak which was also amazing. Inside there is community seating, if you're coming with a did group I'd recommend getting there earlier to find an open table. At each bench there's a QR code to scan and a server brings the food right to your table. You can also pay on your phone which is plus. There's an automatic 20% gratuity added to all bills just fyi. Overall had a great experience and would come again. read more

Super cute holiday pop-up right off of Rittenhouse Square! I love anything Christmassy and this really delivered! When you walk in there is a snow machine, so you are instantly put in the holiday spirit!! There are lots of spot for photo-ops and Instagrammable moments. The main tent area is heated and has snack/food options and a bar. They have some fun themed cocktails (boozy hot chocolate!!), cocktails on tap, full bar, wine, and beer. If you are making your rounds to all the Philly Holiday moments, this is a fun one to add to your list!! read more

i recently was waiting in line to use the bathroom on a busy Wednesday evening. My 2 friends momentarily walked out of the line to grab a drink while we waited. When they came back in line the manager came up and kicked one of my friends out of line, but not the other. There was an obvious reason why she kicked one out and not the other. That manager or whoever she was obviously didn't like the way my friend looked. When she called security it was very obvious that he saw the issue at hand and he was hesitant to drag my friend out of a line for the bathroom. He wasn't doing anything wrong. Seems like Walnut Garden managers need some diversity training in blatant racism. read more

Walnut garden was actually a super fun surprise. I've passed by this beer garden multiple times and now that the weather is warm, I was able to finally stop by for some shade and drinks. It was the middle of the day too so I paused my shopping for a bite. I got the cold sesame noodles as well as the fried cheese bites along with a cheesesteak. I was so surprised at how good everything was! I feel like beer garden food is usually just something that hits the spot and doesn't have to be great, but the food was actually really, really good. The noodles were flavorful and delicious and the udon they used was also the perfect texture. The cheesesteak was solid and also equally delicious. It was also nice to see a few offerings other than just simply burgers. We also each got I think a sangria. I can't remember exactly but they were excellent. Ordering was so convenient and everything came out pretty quickly. There were plenty of tables everywhere both outside in the full sun or under their covered area, and the trailer bathrooms were actually also not that bad and surprisingly clean. I would absolutely come here again, and for sure even recommend this for larger groups. The location of this spot is so convenient and a great place even to just sit for a bit for a quick drink or rest if you've been out shopping. read more

A perfect spot in the middle of center city! The food service was fast and the bar service even faster. Loved that the space was low key and that the service staff weren't too intrusive. They literally would just pop in to help clear things from the table! This is the perfect spot to catch up with friends or just take a breather from some shopping! read more

Unbelievably awful experience. Friend from Puerto Rico (mind you, a US territory) was denied and required to have a US passport (which, you do not need to enter the US, fyi). Both the manager and bouncer were unbelievably rude - telling us to "let them speak" as they yelled and spoke over us, as consumers - and cursed us out as we left. Genuinely, a bar I used to enjoy, and now one I will never EVER return to by their casual racism over our group. Note: the manager said that PR was "not a part of the US", and also told us to refer to the website to see what forms of ID are acceptable. When we asked if credit card was acceptable for second form, she said absolutely not (which is different from, quite literally, every bar I've ever been to); then after being rudely pushed away, she told us that a PR ID is not accepted at any bars under this ownership. BTW, here are their rules on IDs, directly taken from their website (which, in turn, should include a PR ID) read more

I want to preface by saying we had a great time as a family of 5 at the walnut garden. The drinks were great, the playground was great, and we had for the most part a great time. Unfortunately, Mel the manager was very rude and unnecessarily harsh to me, and my kids. She was frustrated about our kids climbing on the play structure which we rectified very quickly. We understand rules and expect our kids to abide by them. But then she got frustrated to the point of kicking us out because my kids had picked up a few leaves off the ground. She claims she spoke to us multiple times when she in fact maybe spoke to us once. We are still unclear what her dissatisfication came from about the leaves. But the remainder of the staff apologized profusely for her overreaction . Stating things like "please write a review about her", and "we are really sorry for her behavior". It's sad because it is a haven for families with kids and young professionals alike but Mel the manager was in fact a huge detractor both for the staff and for the clientele. Maybe in this world, we need less Mel and more of the bouncers, bartenders, and the vibe that is walnut garden. Hopefully that will be the case read more

Decent drinks at a reasonable price. But they are very deceptive about their hours. Even though they insist Fridays and Saturdays are open until midnight, their kitchen "closes" as early as 9PM. For this area of Philly, you can do much better read more

Have you ever been to a bar where the management acts like you're ruining their day by being at their bar? Cause this is like that! Bartenders were super nice, everyone with a walkie talkie is horrendous. read more

I've been here twice now and both times have been really nice. I love the ambiance. It's like a hidden urban garden with a wall showing some graffiti and the rest the garden. There was a nice little breeze and the sun was shining both days. It kinda makes you forget you're in Philly a little. I'm a burger guy and the sweetness of the pepper jam mixed with the garlic mayo was tasty. The creamy sesame dressing on the noodles made the dish for sure and while I wasn't a fan of the avocado chimichurri the rest of the roasted cauliflower sandwich was good. While the food was good, I think what put this place at a 5 for me was the place itself and the staff. They know their stuff, move fast and are very hospitable. read more

Walnut garden is tucked in right in between buildings and the aesthetic is very calming and just a great place to chill. If you can't tell I love being outdoors especially when the weather is so hot. They have a spot to grab drinks and the bartenders are very fast. They have a selection of wine, craft beer, and cocktails. I got the hibiscus lemonade which was the perfect combination of sweet and refreshing. For food, you just have to scan the QRS on the table and they will bring it out. We got the Chicken Karage, and I thought it was okay; nothing too special and the breading felt soggy. But that being said this is a great place to grab drinks and chill with friends or a cute date. They do have a covered tent portion as well, and there's plenty of seatings. read more

Perfect spot for those warm spring days and I cannot wait for summer nights here. Love that I can pop in on a walk with my dogs and give them a break while I enjoy a refreshing cocktail. Plenty of water bowls for the dogs and lots of treats and pets from the dog friendly staff members. read more

Stopped by after a long day of tours through the city. Great vibe and plenty of drink options. Also, the policy states no outside food but the front security guy Cedric helped a girl out and watched my bakery items while I was inside. Lol Will definitely go back!! :) read more

A causal laid back cocktail focused garden with solid service. First let's talk about the drinks. They have 2 bars and sufficient cocktail selection both specialty and draft. I tried the flying melon which has Red Bull which I got for a pick me up. Secondly, the food menu goes beyond the typical bar food with Asian inspired selections from karaage chicken to udon noodles. You order online by scanning the QR code on the table. The food came out so quick but I can see it slowing down if the place was packed. Last thing to remember is bring a water bottle unless you're down to paying $3 per bottle. I'm looking forward to coming back in the evening for a laid back vibe! read more

This is a tourist trap. The food is less than edible. The servers and the door staff make you feel as if they are doing you a favor when they server you. This location has had a least seven (7) City of Philadelphia code violation this summer (2023). These violations were so serious that the City of Philadelphia closed this establishment for approximately one (1) month. Do not get stuck in this trap. read more

Not only is the ambiance perfect for a daytime or nighttime food and beverage but the service and workers here were awesome. We had the chance to meet the boss, and she was such a joy!

I was at Walnut Garden for a private event. My friends and I were racially profiled. 5 minutes after confirming we were there for a private event, we were approached and questioned as to why we were there and who we were there to see. After a horribly embarrassing ordeal, we went to management with our concerns only to find out they directed the questioning. Instead of apologizing, the manager defended his decision to have us questioned. The only difference between us and the rest of the guests is that we were the only 3 non white people present. 0/10 recommend. Do not come here if you are a person of color. read more

The bartender was not only rude, but straight up mean. And the beer on tap was so gross me & my partner left without drinking it.

Giving this place a two star only because the ambiance is awesome. The scene is calming and clean and the drinks were good. The food on the other hand, absolutely terrible. Unseasoned, dry, and lacking flavor all around. Except the fries, the fries were solid. Service was good. But the food was so bad and we tried almost everything on the menu. Don't come here hungry. read more
