The Golden Pheasant Inn is a historic riverside inn and restaurant in Erwinna, Pennsylvania, set along the Delaware River and the old canal towpath in Bucks County. The property traces back to 1811, when Waterman's Inn was built to serve farmers hauling grain along the river road; the current main building dates to 1856, rebuilt after fire destroyed the original tavern, and the inn is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Jack Thompson's family purchased the property in 2019 and reopened it in 2020. The inn offers French-inspired cuisine served in a handful of distinct spaces: a fireplace-warmed dining room, a solarium with canal and river views, and a stone canal patio and bistro garden shaded by trees. That range of settings, from cozy and firelit to bright and glassed-in to open-air along the water, makes the inn suited to everything from formal dinners and sit-down luncheons to casual cocktail parties. Beyond dining, the property includes four individually themed guest suites for overnight stays, with breakfast served the following morning, and full bar service on site.

A historic, speakeasy-inspired basement bar is also available pending availability. Tables and chairs for up to 180 guests are included with a rental, along with a complimentary one-year membership to the Art Center.
