Celebrating Our 23nd Year!
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.

Rembrandt's is
proud to announce the opening of our brand new Banquet Room and Cocktail
Lounge. Both rooms are located on the second floor, are accessible by both
stairs and elevator, and are able to accommodate groups from 20 to 120 for
sit-down dinners, buffets or cocktail parties. The banquet room
features an dynamic view of the Philadelphia City Skyline and the Cocktail
Lounge features a fully stocked bar and fireplace. Both rooms are carpeted
and are available either separately or in conjunction which each as either a
cocktail party with a sit down dinner or as one large room. As we grow
additional features will be added to these rooms to support other
functions. Waltz in here for details.
OK, Not all of the reviews
and awards are in here. But the good ones are. We have had some excellent and
interesting reviews recently. I'll dig out the older reviews and eventually
put them in here.

number of players and the whim of the occasional sponsor. Join us every Monday
to try your luck or just come in to learn how to play. Early-outs can play
darts, watch one of our large screen TV's or start up another poker game on one
of our other tables.

Rembrandt's Cafe, features two large screen (42" and 50") HD Plasma TV's to compliment
the two large HD TV's in the original bar, a new
oak bar with a turn-of-the-century kneeboard (originally from Strawbridge and
Clothier third floor coffee shop), swiveling turnstile columns which display our liquor selections.
Originally conceived as a non-smoking bar, Rembrandt's embraces fully the new
city code requiring bars and restaurants to be smoke free
Rembrandt's now offers 5 styles of authentic Italian pizza made in our new
wood burning brick oven. We have
heard only good response to our newest menu item. Take-out is available
but the best way to enjoy these pizza's is right out of the oven with an ice
cold draft beer. Menu selections and the Executive Chef's philosophy about his
pizzas is rolled out inside.
Note: On March 31, 2005 Rembrandt's was
in Craig Lebans list as one of the best Pizza Restaurants in
Philadelphia.

FRIENDS
OF EASTERN STATE PENITENTIARY PARK
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

to develop community based improvements to our neighborhood. You can join the
