"Like a lot of other beer gardens in the city, Independence Beer Garden is covered in greenery and has rows of long tables made for supporting multiple large containers of beer. Unlike most other beer gardens, this one has legitimately great food and serves lunch and dinner with things like burgers and tacos every day in the summer. IBG also hosts competitive lawn game leagues, in case your casual beach version of corn hole isn’t satisfying your genetic disposition to overly competitive about everything." - Sydney McElwee

Unlike most other beer gardens, this one has legitimately good food, and serves lunch and dinner with things like burgers and tacos every day during the summer. Independence also hosts competitive lawn game leagues, in case your casual beach version of corn hole doesn’t satisfy your urge to be overly competitive about everything." - candis mclean, alison kessler
"We know this spot is on the edge of Old City, but if Philly says it gets a Center City pass for SIPS, then so do we. It's one of the few patios participating in SIPS, so you'll find the long tables packed with friends playing Jenga or snacking on half-priced chips and guacamole, al pastor tacos, and wings between corn hole sessions." - candis mclean
"Like a lot of other beer gardens, Independence Beer Garden is covered in greenery and has rows of long tables made for supporting multiple large containers of beer. There are also lawn games like corn hole and bocce, in case you want to get competitive about something else beside drinking a few IPAs. There's legitimately solid food at this Old City spot too, like burgers, crispy chicken bowls and tacos every day in the summer." - candis mclean
"Everything on Independence Beer Garden’s expansive menu — fried pickles, chips & guacamole, chicken wings, brunch sandwiches, burgers — are all impressively at or under $16. Translation: There’s something for everyone (at a reasonable price) at this seasonal outdoor restaurant. (Note: It closes for the winter each year; keep an eye on Instagram for opening updates in 2025.)" - Eater Staff
