In Their Own Words: 

"Gather is an imaginative gathering space that celebrates Philadelphia’s diversity, vibrancy, and community.

Our approach is bright, healthy, and welcoming; a celebration of food and people. Our rich partnership was founded by 4 organizations with deep roots in Philadelphia + over 100 combined years of experience committed to expanding opportunities + access for communities. We intend to leverage our expansive local ecosystem to reach diverse audiences, address food insecurity among college students, and nurture emerging chefs.

The food hall features the Bulletin Bar, a full-service bar inspired by the newspaper printing press that once occupied the site. The bar’s design pays homage to the building’s storied past while embracing its modern evolution. Just as the Philadelphia Bulletin once connected the city through conversation, the Bulletin Bar will offer a space for connection and conversation. The Bulletin Bar features a menu of handcrafted cocktails, draft beer, and wine, making it the perfect stop for after-work happy hours, a drink before catching a train at 30th Street Station, or meeting friends to watch the game."
