Liberty Point is a restaurant five years in the making for Hornik and his team at FCM Hospitality. He said, “For 5 years I’ve been working with the management of the Independence Seaport Museum to develop a concept that would utilize the amazing river views from their large outdoor decks. The restaurant was scheduled to open in spring of 2021 but was delayed due to covid. We are thrilled to take things to the next level for outdoor, riverfront dining in Philadelphia. We are full steam ahead for an April opening in time for the beautiful weather. This will time to open with our other outdoor properties, including Morgan’s Pier” in a statement.
Liberty Point will have three main levels, with other sub-levels, with 25,000 square feet of space outside and 3,000 square feet on the inside. It will be open seven days a week – 12 pm to 2 am – but subject to change and will be updated when open. Liberty Point will be family friendly, and the first level will be dog friendly. When opened, Liberty Point will create 150 new jobs to start.
FCM Hospitality currently operates Morgan’s Pier, Harper’s Garden, Juno, Lola’s Garden, Rosy’s Taco Bar, Concourse Dance Bar, The Dolphin Tavern, Garden at Cherry St Pier, River Beer Garden (seasonal pop-up) and now Liberty Point. Other new spots are in the works for future announcements.
Hornik said, “We are excited to bring this new dining concept to the Waterfront to join the already vibrant destination for recreational, cultural, and commercial activities for the residents and visitors of Philadelphia. There’s always something happening at Penn’s Landing. It is the top Summer destination in Philadelphia that hosts concerts, fairs, food and drink and we are happy to be a part of it.”
With this project, FCM Hospitality adds to their growing footprint on the Philadelphia waterfront, with Craft Hall, Unleashed Bark and Beer, The Garden at Cherry Street Pier, Morgan’s Pier, River Beer Garden at Race Street Pier (seasonal pop-up) and now Liberty Point.
