Cavanaugh's River Deck, Philadelphia PA

The food is good, the staff are nice and the drinks are ok. The DJ was awesome. I would definitely return. Nice to sit on the water especially on a day with perfect weather.

The bouncer with the grey beard is the worst employee I have ever encountered. He wrongfully accused me of “running my mouth” and “fighting” the last time I attended. Neither of these statements are true and he claims he remembers my face, although he clearly has the wrong person. It is absolutely ridiculous. I have also seen him deny 2 other people with real IDs and falsely accuse other people of wrongdoings. He should be fired.

So my girl & I are sitting at the bar EATING and we were literally told to get up so they could take our seats outside. I’ve been coming here for years.

Had a bit of a racists past but who knows if the staff is the same from a couple years ago. Drinks are pretty good usually but food has gratification added no matter the total.

Finally made it here. Friends used to host sweaty fun dancehall parties and we heard good things bout this place.
So disappointed. Being black and African, we were interested BUT $20 for what felt like a hood block party on the pier. The DJ kept talking over the music like we were listening to the radio in the car with advertisements. So hard to dance and feel free with the angry faces. I’m sure everyone was high, that’s cool but doesn’t work with dance parties. I also am the culture so I get it but we evolved.
There’s a bathroom attendant and so much security not securing the place, it just looks like multiple hustles going on at the same time.
Mad respect still because the place was packed but I couldn’t wait till we left and went to an actually fun party

Very good on diverse. Unfortunately Roberto (I think) or the guy with a cap behind the bar has very bad customer service. We received a Long Island that was up to par, so we asked him to remake our drinks. We got 8-10 drinks. As a bartender myself when I saw how he was making it and when I let him know he was making it wrong, instead of acting like a professional adult he decided to make it seem like I was a delicusion African American. I went to the manager Pam, and she straightened out real quick.

They have good music since they flip between Lil Baby and Miley Cyrus, however aside from my poor bar experience please be caution.

Terrible place and disrespectful staff, if your looking to have a good time your fun stops at the door.

Great place! Highly recommend. If your bartender isn’t DOE you’re highly missing out! Best bartender I ever met!

Between this one or Morgan peer is the top two outdoor places for me. Prices are decent and I believe food is better than Morgan. They have tv if you want to watch sports games. They view is amazing especially at night. Night life is amazing too with a younger crowd compare yo Morgan. They have a lot of specials during the week so check it out.

I love the meeting place: fresh air, open sky, music, familiar faces of staff, regular attendees, feels like family, right there along the waterfront, and then crowds of people too come through. It was good to see everyone. My favorite night is Sunday but every day has it's own crowd and specials. People also hold events during the daytime hours

Be careful a dear friends son was beaten here in 2021 now has brain damage so please watch all around you when you are there security is not safe they are the bad guys
