Independence Beer Garden

Wonderful place to grab a beer, sit back, and relax! There are many seating options including Adirondack chairs around personal table-top propane fire tables, picnic tables, and bar-side seating. The outside space has lots of planters filled with beautiful grasses and greens, and the trees are adorned with tiny white lights. Order and pay for your beverage using an app, and it's quickly delivered to your table. With about 17 tap handles, 22 cans and bottles, plus some wine and cocktail selections, there is something for everyone. They also have a small selection of snacks, although we didn't partake. Lastly, if the urge strikes, you can play corn hole/bag toss!

Excellent service, good beer and good food! Alejandro took great care of us. We love this spot. Highly recommended.

Different Cheesesteak #872. I really wanted to love this place. Everything was almost great. The cheesesteak was $12 and smallish. I liked the toasted roll. The beer cheese was plentiful but fell short of amazing. The meat was Gyro’ish. It felt like they cooked a steak. Sliced strips off it. Reheated the strips to serve on a cheesesteak. With all that said, I definitely see myself coming back here. Great location and plenty of seating choices.

Happy hour is our favorite there. Good food and good prices. Staff friendly. Perfect spot to see friends and chat.

Loved this spot! People watching at its finest while sippin’ on cold brews and throwing back Jell-O shots. There are q-codes on the picnic benches to order drinks and food from which is awesome and convenient! Don’t be deceived when you first walk up and think it’s just the first photo. It wraps all the way around and I honestly love the fire pit seating area more. The bartenders and waitresses had superb service and love how friendly they all were. Thank you!! Oh and the chips served with the guac was a delicious snack—so crunchy! 🤤

Popped in here yesterday, a hot Saturday early afternoon. We arrived around 1:30-2pm I'd say and it was pretty crowded but we were quickly seated and there was no wait. Little disappointed that the guys checking IDs were just tossing the little squares of the wrist bands on the ground instead of having a bin nearby to toss them in... Seating is done by the hostess stand - there's no standing around, ordering from the bar, or seating yourself. All tables are marked out so each party can have 6 feet of space between the next party, even if the table is shared. Menus are contactless via a scanner at your table that you use with your phone. I really liked the setup! This place always used to be super crowded and it was nice to not have to hunt for a spot. We ordered a first round of drinks and some light snacks - between two people we shared the cauliflower tacos and the fried pickles. Fried pickles claimed to be spicy but it was just paprika so they weren't "hot" spicy (which was good for me). The cauliflower tacos were surprisingly good! We aren't vegan, just wanted some vegetables in our life on the hot day instead of going with everything breaded, fried, and cheesed. The drinks were good - there was a wiiiide selection and you could definitely find something you liked on the menu. When the first round was delivered, we asked if we could get water and were told that someone would be around. No one ever came. Some tables with large groups had pitchers of water but it wasn't clear how they got them. There was a $4 can of water on the menu but I didn't want to pay for water. On a hot day, it should probably just be delivered with alcohol. They used to have self-serve coolers but I guess they took those away to avoid people crowding around them and/or all the touching. When we ordered our second round (the Federal Donuts/Conshy Brewing Company mashup Fednuts and a Sam Adams Summer Ale), we wrote in the comments to please also send over some water and put a lime in the beer. While we waited for those drinks, someone came around to clear trash (we didn't realize a can was right behind us, woops - but also, the can was for trash and recycling? Oh no!) and asked if we wanted water - finally! When we got our drinks, there was no lime in the beer. So it's unclear if the person we were originally promised just finally came around or if trying to use the comments section worked. Generally, just unclear how to get some courtesy H2O. Overall, a much better experience than I've had in the past with the crowds and of course drinks were great. Docked a star for the trash situation with the wristbands and possibly not recycling cans and the water problem. I'd still come back though (and maybe just be the person that asks for water at the bar if it's not coming to me) and would recommend it to others.

This is a really cool spot. We've been a few times in the afternoon/early evening recently (before the young ones come out. Lol). We bring the dog...he loves it. They have a variety of seating options including Adirondack chairs and picnic tables. At each station there is a QR code you use to order and pay for your food and beverages. It's so quick and easy! And like magic someone brings your beer and food out within minutes! The ambiance is wonderful with string lights and greenery. Most of it is covered so a little rain won't ruin your visit. We will be visiting often!

I recommend that if you go here, go kind of early as seats fill up quick. This is a great place to hang out though, and has a very modern and young crowd. Despite being open to the outdoors of Philly, it seems to feel like a cabana of some kind, despite being 50ft from the Liberty Bell. The food is good, and the beer and cocktail selection is varied and reliable. Definitely check it out.

Food was good. Lots of different types of beers. You order at the table ahead of time. I feel it was a little over priced. Location is right across from the Liberty Bell. I felt like the staff didn't or couldn't be bothered with anything as none of them were very "cheery." I don't know if the food was worth almost $100 for a kids meal, one cheesteak, one burger, two fries, and one fried pickles.

Went here Sunday! The vibes were great, the music was good. Daniela was an awesome bartender. Seen that she even stayed pass hours so everyone could finish watching the world cup game which was cool. Def had a great time & will come back whenever im in the city.
