The Best Philly Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in the Spring

"Martha — a neighborhood favorite in Kensington for craft beer, creative cocktails, and upscale hoagies — has a fenced-in garden patio for outdoor drinking and dining. The venue seats straight through until the wee hours on Friday and Saturday, beginning at noon. Don’t miss the vegan hoagie." - Ernest Owens, Eater Staff

Martha Review - Kensington - Philadelphia - The Infatuation

"One too many drinks in at your last party, you felt inspired and announced, “I’m going to open a bar one day, fill it with everything we like, and the people will flock to it, deeming me lord of Fishtown and purveyor of all that is good.” And though no one took you too seriously, you’ll realize when you get to Martha that someone already got the jump on you. Martha is a bar/restaurant on the border of Fishtown and Kensington that looks like if someone bought a small warehouse and then just filled it with eclectic furniture that they got from a few estate sales and called it a day. There are worn-in couches and armchairs next to an old-fashioned stove fireplace, and a bunch of mismatched tables lined up around the perimeter. Projectors display movies from the 1960s on one wall, and the extensive food and drink menu on another. In the middle of the space is a huge bar with at least 25 seats that always seems to be full of friends meeting up for cocktails (most of which are less than $12) and a hoagie waffle topped with salami, provolone, and long hot pesto that’s just as delicious as it sounds. Other than the hoagie waffle, Martha’s food menu is full of bar snacks that are surprisingly creative - like the magic mushrooms, which is a bowl of maple maitake mushrooms over squash grits and topped with their homemade hot sauce. There’s also a whole section of hoagies (our favorite is the perky turkey), and a mix-and-match charcuterie plate that pairs well with pretty much any third drink of the night. It’s the kind of food you can easily split with a date or a couple of friends. Stop by for dinner at the bar and if it’s a season where being outside isn’t dangerous to your health, grab another drink and head out back to play some bocce ball on the huge patio. If you can think of a better concept for a bar, we’ll buy it from you." - Sydney McElwee

Philly’s Best Sandwich Shops

"In Kensington, Martha’s list of hoagies covers all the bases, from the vegan jawn with carrots impersonating cured meat, to the Italian made with fennel and Calabrese salami." - Ernest Owens

The 20 Best Restaurant Patios In Philadelphia

"Martha in Fishtown is worth a hang all year long, but it doesn’t really get crowded until the first nice day of Spring. As soon as that threshold is broken, Martha stays pleasantly full pretty much every night through late September. Their big back porch is filled with vintage tables with people eating hoagies, and there’s table service outside so you don’t have to walk back to the bar inside every time you want a refill. They also have a bocce ball court if that’s your thing, and, if it’s not, there are usually three or four dogs that you can hang out with instead." - candis mclean, alison kessler

15 Philly Bars for a Damn Good Cocktail

"Named a James Beard Award semifinalist in 2017 for its bar program, Kensington’s cocktail spot Martha is big on bold but balanced flavors. The drinks are infused with acidity, spice, bitterness, and funk in the form of ingredients like fermented honeycomb, wasabi, and apricot matcha tea." - Ernest Owens, Eater Staff
