About this restaurant

  • Great for brunch
  • Great for happy hour
  • Neighborhood gem
With its delicious, approachable menus and upbeat ambiance, Square 1682 has become a beloved Center City gathering place thanks to Chef Patrick Czerniak's great food, great drinks and great people. Our New American fare could be described as: worldly, progressive, delicious, artfully presented, healthful and comforting. Time and again, loyal patrons return to the Architects Building in Rittenhouse Square for restaurant draws like popular brunch specials, the raved-about Square Burger, one of the country’s top bar programs and seasonal patio seating. If you’re hosting an intimate dining affair for a small or large group, be sure to explore our private dining options, too.
