The weather is finally heating up in time for summer and it’s the perfect time of year to grab drinks outside with friends. Here are some of the best outdoor spots to hit up in Philadelphia.

 

 

Independence Beer Garden

Located in historic Old City across from Independence Mall, this sprawling beer garden gets packed with people on a sunny Saturday— and for good reason. The layout has three separate bars, in a garden area, a games area and a covered area, to choose from. Play corn hole with your friends or claim a picnic table and enjoy.

If you’re looking for a spot with a view, head to Sky Garten on the 51st floor of 3 Logan Square, offering an authentic German biergarten selection. Enjoy sky-high sips and sweeping views of the city from this hot spot.

Another perfect rooftop hot spot is Assembly Rooftop Lounge, situated on top of The Logan Hotel. At nine stories high, it might be the better option for those afraid of heights. Look over Logan Circle at some of Philadelphia’s greatest sights including Swan Fountain and the art museum. Grab a group of friends and stake out a fire pit and a bubbly cocktail.

Morgan’s Pier

Situated right on the Delaware River Waterfront, Morgan’s Pier is a breezy haven on a hot day. The bar and deck have picnic-style seating for 500 guests, and they keep the food and drinks flowing. Chill here during the day and stay through the night for a lively bar crowd.

Sampan/Graffiti Bar

Located through a small back alleyway behind Sampan, Graffiti Bar is a hidden urban gem. True to its name, the alleyway leading up to the bar is covered in graffiti, as well as the tables and walls. Grab a fishbowl and amazing Asian small plates at happy hour and enjoy the cozy outdoor atmosphere.

What to Do During a Trip to Morro Bay, California

No, it’s not Monterey Bay. We’re talking Morro Bay, California, located about a 2.5-hour drive to the south, about halfway between San Jose and Los Angeles. A quieter destination, Morro Bay offers plenty for the outdoor adventurer to enjoy.
