The atmosphere and drinks are good! The one qualm I have is the music. The vibes are sit outdoors and chill/chat but the music is giving EDM club at 2 am. Like please stop yelling at me

Love the atmosphere, definitely a popular spot in warmer weather. As the temperature cools there's a brief period before the heaters come out that it tends to be less busy (not a bad thing since it's generally so popular) and things ramp up a bit again when the heaters come out and they close up the tent to keep it warm and cozy. Good music, good vibes all around.

A Nice little pop-up! The drinks were tasty, and the food was as well, it was a little pricey, but the food was worth it!!
was super excited to go here but the extremely rude and dismissive female bouncer refused to let me in despite having a real ID where I am of age. she told me she needed a second opinion from management then refused to call this manager over, telling me “he’ll get here when he gets here” and had me stand and wait outside while my friends were inside. we ultimately decided to leave. super bummed because it looks great inside but ill never go back if i have to deal with this bouncer and her disrespect again.

Walnut Garden is a very chill lowkey spot. Perfect for football Sundays. The staff is extremely friendly. It’s a perfect vibe for a girls night out. Great ambiance for picture taking. Strong Drinks and the cheese steaks were amazing. Everything was of reasonable pricing. Security Marcel and Cedric were very Pleasant . Cedric was very professional, very attentive and went out of his way to make sure my group and I were okay throughout the night. I’ve been back 4 times already. I would highly recommend.

They must have changed their vibes (or are different during the day) because I don't understand the lower rating. I love eating and drinking outside, which can be tough to find in Philly. The location is great and everyone working was very nice - the bouncer type guy at the front even directed us to food/drinks and how to order. The drinks were good and we could taste the alcohol. Everything we ordered came out fast. We loved looking up at the buildings and being surrounded by plants. Would love to come back!

Service was great and very fast! We came with two dogs, and our waitress brought out water bowls for them. Food and drinks were good and well priced! Would definitely come here again. Super dog friendly!
This place is all about the atmosphere and vibes! Finding a beautiful spot outdoors in Philly to drink can be tricky, so this place is a great find!

I LOVE THIS PLACE because it’s an excellent location and very fun! Outdoor space is great. We had some food come out which didn’t taste quite right, the manager refunded us and gave us new food. Couldn’t ask for better service. And the drinks are delicious!! Free refills on soda ?

Went in for drinks with my wife and received absolutely terrible service at the bar. We ordered a cocktail and the bartender began to pressure my wife into accepting a cocktail that was sitting at the bar. She insisted that she had recently made the cocktail, and that we should accept the old drinks, rather than the bartender making a new one. It looked like the drink had been sitting out for some time as the ice was melted, so we insisted she make us a fresh cocktail as we are paying for it. The bartender did not seem happy she had to make us a drink for money, and tried making us feel bad about it.
Several days later, I get a notice from my Credit Card company asking me to confirm an excessive tip from Walnut Garden. The tip entered was 50%. I had not tipped this amount. It seemed like a strange coincidence to have this interaction with the bartender, and then have my tip be entered as a wildly different amount than I hand written. This may be an honest mistake, but I never add change to a tip, and the tip entered had change on it. So I’m not sure it’s as simple as misreading some numbers, as Walnut Garden told me it was after I contacted them. They did issue a refund for the additional tip amount.
From being pressured by the bartender to pay for mystery behind the bar drinks, to having to fight for part of a tip back, Walnut Garden was an awful experience. If you go, watch your drinks closely, and save receipts.
