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.

FRIENDS

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.
