If you can’t think of anything more relaxing than sipping an ice cold beer outdoors along the water, then you’ll fall in love with Morgan’s Pier. This summertime beer garden is situated right along the Delaware River Waterfront and offers enough wooden picnic tables to accommodate up to 500 people, making it a great place to plan a party or hang out after work with friends.

There is a casual yet upscale menu curated by some of the best local chefs in the area, and it includes peel-and-eat shrimp, grilled whole lobsters, and large gourmet sandwiches. Specialty cocktails and wines are served in addition to the extensive beer menu, and everything changes from month to month to serve only what’s in season. On the weekends, you’ll even find a full brunch menu complete with morning libations at Morgan’s Pier, one of the coolest and most relaxing seasonal spots in all of Philadelphia.
