Welcome to Rembrandt's Restaurant and Bar home page. I cordially invite you to tour our website. Rembrandt's is located in the Fairmount Section of the Art Museum Area in Philadelphia. We offer romantic fine dining in our elegant dining room and a turn-of-the-century, friendly, neighborhood bar and an adjacent comfortable café. Our banquet facilities feature a striking view of the Philadelphia City Skyline and a fireplace cocktail lounge.  Our prices are reasonable, our parking is ample and we are only a 5 minute walk to the Philadelphia Museum of Art and a 5 minute drive (or 20 minute walk) to and from the downtown area of the 6th largest and most historic city in the United States. Hopefully you will discover Rembrandt's when you come to Philadelphia.

Featuring, from September 18 through November 7, 2009, "Terror Behind The Walls"  and the Fright and a Bite Dinner Tour Packages for the No. 1 most haunted house tour in the country.

Rembrandt's is located in the shadow of Eastern State Penitentiary.  The most historic penitentiary in the World, the beginning of penal reform in the United States and the structure most copied by other countries around the world after it's inception.  During the winter, the prison is open for group tours and Rembrandt's offers discounted lunch or dinner along with a tour ticket for each of your group. Penitentiary Winter Adventure Tours are held at the following times:  Weekdays: 10:00 am, 12:00 pm, 2:00 pm & 3:00 pm. Saturdays & Sundays: Every hour on the hour from 10 am to 4 pm. Tour tickets can be reserved by calling (215) 236-3300.  Details about the lunch package at Rembrandt's are in here. And then there is Bastille Day when we all show up to storm the prison in order to bring out the hated Marie Antoinette while the crowd, about 6 or thousand  strong decides what to do with her.  It is great fun for the entire family.  And finally, there is the highly anticipated event every fall, "Terror Behind The Walls".  Eastern State was recently voted the #1 haunted house tour in the country.  This event attracts over 100,000 people from all over the country during it's run.  Join us for our Fright and a Bite dinner tour package.  You will find the schedules and menu information here.

This CDC is actively pursuing an approach to the highest and best use of the area on the eastern and northern borders of Eastern State Penitentiary on Brown and Corinthian Streets.  After years of discussion, disagreement, disillusionment and eventual decision making, it appears that they have arrived at an excellent solution.  Now they need the help and support of the neighborhood to continue their plans. Their website is accessible from here.

 

FAIRMOUNT ASSOCIATIONS
The Community of Fairmount has two very dynamic organizations created to improve the quality of life in our neighborhood. The Fairmount Civic Association is a member driven organization which charges annual dues of $15.00 per year per person.  The Fairmount Community Development Corporation is a non-profit group whose mandate by their board of directors is to develop community based improvements to our neighborhood. You can join the FCA and take an active part in decisions, events and activities in your neighborhood and by doing so you can also effect the ideas and decisions of the Fairmount CDC .
