Liberty Point

"Liberty Point is the largest outdoor restaurant in Philadelphia. And with multiple levels, a few massive bar spaces, and the waterfront on one side, the stage area on the second floor tends to get lost in the shuffle. Weekdays are the best time to come here for the local music acts taking over the stage, since on the weekends it’s full of twentysomethings dancing to a lineup of DJ sets while sipping on margaritas. Stick to the seafood if you want something to eat, especially the steamed mussels that are drenched in a garlicky wine sauce and come with warm bread. If it’s a sunny day, just know you’ll definitely need a reservation.  " - candis mclean

"If you’re interested in a relaxing view of the Delaware River waterfront that’s not on a boat and doesn’t require fighting over a hammock at the Spruce Street Harbor Park, head to the city’s largest restaurant, Liberty Point. It’s a three-level space with a circular rooftop where you can sip on wine and cocktails while diving into a bowl of steamed mussels. They come swimming in a garlicky wine sauce and, with warm toasty bread, it's pretty much the only thing on the menu worth ordering. Even so, Liberty Point is somewhere that will always have some views of boats and a massive crowd—especially on a sunny day." - candis mclean, alison kessler

"Last week, Philadelphia magazine reported that several Philly-area hotspots, including the D.C.-based chain Founding Farmers in King of Prussia and restaurant group FCM Hospitality (which includes Morgan’s Pier, Liberty Point, Lola’s Garden, Dolphin Tavern, and others) were charging automatic “wellness” and/or “employee benefit” fees to diners that were between 3 and 5 percent of their bill." - Ernest Owens

"Or the massive spectacle that’s currently Liberty Point, a waterfront spot that boasts about being the biggest outdoor restaurant in Philly – but has been hyped up more by influencers than the general public and press." - Ernest Owens
