Rooftop bar season is a godsend for city dwellers and travelers. Getting up above the city streets and sweltering heat to enjoy a beverage with an unrivaled view is a much-needed reprieve after a long semester at school, day at work or out and about sightseeing. While in Philadelphia, check out these top spots.
The fact Bok Bar is a pop-up bar with a limited season makes it one of the most sought-after in the city. This South Philadelphia rooftop bar also happens to be on top of a one-time elementary school, complete with converted classrooms and an elevator ride up to the top. Enjoy drinks, a view of the city and small bites before the season ends.
With an even shorter lifespan, the Parkway Central Library boasts occasional Brews and Views events from the rooftop. On special occasions and seasonally beautiful weather, the Philadelphia Free Library brings out locals and tourists alike for drinks and incredible vistas from the heart of Fairmount.
Make your way to Old City and settle in at the Assembly Rooftop for swanky drinks at the Logan Hotel. This upscale hotel and stylish bar comes with terrace seating, fire pits and glass windows showcasing views of the city both from inside and outside.
Enjoy happy hour 11 stories above the city at Stratus Rooftop Lounge, 5–7 p.m. The Kimtpon hotel bar boasts an impressive menu of diverse cuisine, cocktails and special events including live DJs and after-hours parties.
