About us
With a liquor license dating back to 1933, the year Prohibition came to an end, The Deck, which it is often referred to as, was originally located on the 3400 Block of Walnut Street. After it’s ten year break, the Deck was reopened at it’s current location and has been pleasing customers ever since.
The kitchen at the New Deck serves up generous portions everyday from 11am till 1am. Known for our great burgers, cheese steaks, delicious fresh salads & tasty sandwiches, our menu is promised to please all!
Happy hour at the New Deck is the best around. Known for the friendliness and comfortable pub style atmosphere, you can’t go wrong when choosing The Deck.
The New Deck offers a vast array of draft beers from around the world and one of the largest single malt scotch collections in Philadelphia. Our European draft beer system imported from County Cork, Ireland, gives us reason to boast that we pour the Best Pint in the City!
