FEEDBACK FROM OUR GUESTS + HOSTS:

Tiye, May 2022

Marianne and the rest of her team made my party rental, simple and stress-free. from my beginning ask to the event date, my expectations were completely exceeded and my guests were impressed and pleased.
The dock street team was warm and inviting--no glass was ever empty. They created a menu that enticed each palate, carnivore to vegan, pescatarian to no nuts; everyone left stuffed from an abundance of delectable options. Please do not hesitate to make this awesome local small business the destination for your next celebration, date or brunch!

Anne L, April 2022

Can't say enough about the wonderful experience I had hosting an event at Dock Street South. From start to finish Marianne was so helpful and easy to work with. Communication ahead of time was so easy, and day of she was welcoming and took care of everything, including cutting and serving the cake we brought in (after making sure we got pictures of it!) Everything went so smoothly, every employee we met was kind, and the food was amazing. I will be recommending Dock Street as a venue to host parties like this from now on!!

CASEY + BEN, OCTOBER 2021

We cannot thank you enough for allowing us to host our wedding after-party at Dock St. South. Everyone had a blast and loved the space. People enjoyed playing pool and darts. The beer was amazing, the pizza was delicious and your staff went above and beyond. Please thank your entire team, especially Jackie. Also, thank you for recommending Curtis to DJ. He was awesome. Partying at Dock St. South was the perfect way to end our wedding weekend. Thank you so much!

THOMAS/THE CONNECTIVE COLLECTIVE, AUGUST 2021

Yesterday’s event was absolutely incredible! I’ve already received several messages asking about the next one, and the feedback has been remarkable!

I can’t thank you all enough for collaborating with me on this experience. I’m really hoping we can do it again.

KEILA & PRADHAN/ARTSI, MARCH 2021

Wanted to just say thank you again for having Artsi in your space for Artist Exposed: M11SON on Thursday. The guests only had great things to say about the event :) They loved the vibe, pizza and drinks. You all were so great and easy to work with! Let me know if this is something you would like to do again in the future. Always more than happy to set another date on the calendar :)

MELISSA + JACKSON, APRIL 2019

Thank you very much to you and your team for making our celebration at Dock Street last night a success.  The set up was perfect and your team did a fabulous job checking in with us to ensure that all our needs were met.  We had probably 60 people in attendance.  It was the ideal space for that number of people (comfortably full but still space to move).  Many remarked that they hadn’t been there before and were looking forward to returning later.

LUCIA R. October 2018

We had SUCH a great time on Saturday. I'm gonna recommend you guys to so many people. It was a perfect venue for what we wanted and the bartenders were amazing.  Thanks again!

MOLLIE D. August 2018

Thank you so much to the best wedding reception hostess we ever could have asked for! Every need was met, every extra request was granted with no unease. You really took care of us! Sunday meant the world to us. We are on the way to our honeymoon today! So happy!

LAUREN July 2018

I cannot thank you enough!  What a lovely event. Your venue is beautiful, and your team is so incredibly helpful, kind and accommodating. Everyone had a blast, and loved all the food, drinks, and brewery tour!   

JEN N., July 2018 (via Yelp)

I brought a large group of restaurant servers/bartenders into Dock Street- and they went above and beyond to accommodate us. We had wonderful food. I loved this experience from beginning to end. I highly recommend any large group looking to do a bonding experience come here! Thank you Dock Street!

MELISSA S. July 2018

Party was beautiful & so fun yesterday. Food was delicious and plentiful. Thanks so much for all your help throughout the process!

I came here for a friend's birthday with a group of 15-20. We scheduled a group tour in advance and reserved Dock Street Cannery + Tasting Room, which is right next to the main brewpub. The tour was short yet informative, and we got to try three different beers. The Cannery + Tasting Room was the perfect size for our group and had a private bar where we could order beers and cocktails. We were served pizza straight out of the oven; it was delicious. Great experience, would definitely recommend!

NANCY B, March 2018 (via Yelp)

Just held a customer event at Dock Street Brewery. The venue was awesome as was the staff! So very accommodating. The food, delicious! Hat's off the chef - great spread and people just kept eating and eating! I was so pleasantly surprised and it exceeded my expectations. Highly recommend if you are looking for a casual, unique venue in the Philly area. Thanks, Dock Street!
