Upscale seafood & steak on a historic ship with skyline views
"There are fun, Pirates of the Caribbean-type ghost ships, and then there’s the Moshulu. The Society Hill floating restaurant and bar was once a WWI warship on which 28 people died. If that doesn’t send a shiver down your spine, staff members claim to have heard unexplainable laughter on board and find re-lit lanterns on tables after they’ve been extinguished. If you’re brave enough to stop by for Happy Hour for a few $8 cocktails or $7 glasses of wine, and meet some new friends from this world and the next." - candis mclean

"The rigged historic ship on the Delaware River near Old City is open again for indoor and outdoor dining on the deck after closing in November; I recommend making a reservation." - Dayna Evans
"Philadelphia’s second river, the Delaware, runs along the eastern edge of the city and has one especially unusual attraction. The Moshulu is the world’s only restaurant aboard a permanently docked tall ship, and it’s where John Kim heads when he wants to grab cocktails with friends. Standing on the deck of the century-old square-rigged sailing ship overlooking the river and enjoying a chai Negroni, you’ll feel like an old-fashioned captain about to set sail — only with much better drinks." - Vox Creative
"The Moshulu is a super old boat that’s somehow still floating in the Delaware, and while the dining room inside is somewhat of a tourist trap, during the summer the huge deck on top turns into a bar with cocktails and small bites. Make it a point to come at least once before it closes for the winter, and get here early enough to take over one of the loungers before it gets too crowded. RESERVE A TABLE WITH RESERVE A TABLE" - Sydney McElwee
