Hugo's Frog Bar & Chop House Reopens At Rivers Casino Philadelphia

PHILADELPHIA — Nov. 5, 2020 — Hugo's hops back into the restaurant game at Philly's Casino. Hugo's Frog Bar & Chop House, the high-end steakhouse at Rivers Casino Philadelphia, is now open after being closed since the March 15 property-wide shutdown to help slow the spread of COVID-19. The casino’s gaming floor reopened on July 17.

Hugo's Frog Bar & Chop House is the award-winning steakhouse that features mouthwatering steaks, including the "Philly Cut" bone-in filet mignon, fresh seafood (jumbo lump crab cakes are always a favorite) and scrumptious, oversized, desserts such as carrot cake and chocolate mousse pie.

Hugo's is part of the legendary Gibsons Restaurant Group. It’s the casino's third restaurant to reopen joining Jack's Bar + Grill and Mian, both of which reopened on Sept. 8.

"Hugo's fine dining is another option Rivers Casino now offers for a fun night on the town," said Peter Longi, assistant general manager at Rivers Casino Philadelphia. "Guests will get a great meal to go along with our exciting slots, table games and sportsbook all in one place. With free parking, it's tough to beat dining at Philly's casino."
