Inside the New Beer Garden at Skinny Joey’s Cheesesteaks on South Broad

Skinny Joey’s Cheesesteaks at 3020 S. Broad Street just got a whole lot more reason to stay a while. The flagship location — already the go-to spot for South Philly’s best cheesesteak — has opened a new indoor beer garden, giving guests a full experience that goes well beyond the sandwich.

More Than a Cheesesteak Stop

Since opening day on March 29, 2025, the 3020 S. Broad St. location has been the heartbeat of the Skinny Joey’s brand. Joey Merlino built this place as a statement — South Philly food, South Philly pride, and a room full of people who showed up. The beer garden is the next chapter of that story.

Whether you’re stopping in after a Flyers game, grabbing lunch before a show at the Wells Fargo Center, or just making it your regular Thursday spot, the indoor beer garden gives you a place to sit down, order a cold one, and eat the way you’re supposed to eat in this city — without rushing.

Cold Drinks, Hot Steaks

The beer garden pairs perfectly with what Skinny Joey’s already does better than anyone: the cheesesteak. Wit or witout, Whiz or provolone — it doesn’t matter, the sandwich holds up under any conditions. Add a cold draft to the equation and you’ve got the most South Philly meal you can have without crossing into Jersey.

The indoor setup means the beer garden is year-round. No waiting for summer. No weather excuses. Come through in January in an Eagles hoodie or August after the parade — the vibe is the same.

Right on South Broad

Location matters. Skinny Joey’s sits at 3020 S. Broad Street — directly on the Broad Street Line, minutes from the stadiums, and deep in the neighborhood that built the name. It’s not a tourist spot trying to look authentic. It is authentic. The beer garden makes it a destination instead of just a stop.

If you’ve been waiting for a reason to come back, this is it. If you’ve never been, now you’ve got two reasons to show up — the cheesesteak and the seat to enjoy it in.
