Thirteen - Philadelphia Marriott

Stylish American Dining in the Heart of Center City

Located inside the Philadelphia Marriott Downtown, Thirteen offers a sleek, modern take on Contemporary American cuisine just steps from Philly’s major concert venues and the Pennsylvania Convention Center. With its casual dress code and convenient Market Street location, it's an easy stop for music lovers looking to fuel up before the show or wind down afterward.

The restaurant blends city sophistication with relaxed energy—think warm lighting, polished wood finishes, and a spacious layout that never feels too loud or too crowded.

Why Concert-goers love it

Thirteen’s prime location makes it a top pick for concert-goers heading to nearby arenas and theaters. Quick and friendly service means you can be in and out without stress before the curtain rises. The atmosphere is lively but not overwhelming, so you can converse easily without shouting—ideal for pre-show meetups or a quiet post-show bite. Bonus: it’s open late enough to welcome night owls grabbing a late dinner after encore.

Who this Restaurant is great for

• Groups of friends looking for a reliable meeting point before a show
• Solo travelers who want a relaxed, welcoming vibe with bar seating
• Couples making a romantic night of their concert plans
• Fans wanting a vibrant but not rowdy pre-show energy
• Budget-conscious music fans who still want quality and convenience

What People Say

Guests on TripAdvisor and OpenTable praise the friendly staff, consistently good food, and great cocktails. Many note that the location is ideal for events and nights out downtown. The burger and crab cakes get frequent shoutouts, and the bar is often highlighted as a great spot to unwind. Diners love the fact that it’s inside the Marriott, making it especially convenient for out-of-town concert-goers staying nearby.

Areas for Improvement

Some reviewers mention that the restaurant can feel a bit like a hotel lounge—which it technically is. While this means reliable service and a clean, safe environment, it may not provide the most unique or local dining vibe. Prices are fair for a city hotel restaurant, but not necessarily budget eats.

The Bottom Line

If you're heading to a concert in downtown Philly and want solid food, fast service, and a convenient location, Thirteen hits all the right notes.
