"When it’s hot out, people love frozen drinks. And guess what? Parents are people, too. Grab your tiny dictators (and your dogs) and head to the PHS Pop-Up Garden for a child-friendly outdoor oasis, featuring garden-inspired cocktails, a seasonal food menu, and zero judgment." - alison kessler, candis mclean
"This beer garden on South Street is a vacant lot for most of the year, but during the summer, the Philadelphia Horticultural Society turns it into a full-on forest with big trees, wood-chip floors, a massive patio, and string lights. Go for any of their frozen drinks (we love the Strawberry Water Ice), a burger, or just have a few craft beers in this lush, kid- and pet-friendly garden." - candis mclean, alison kessler
"Returning to its flagship site at 15th and South, I noticed the PHS Beer Garden this year leans toward a soothing, delicate vibe — roses, ferns, Queen Anne’s lace, pink crepe myrtles and hop vines form the backdrop — while nearby Jamaican Jerk Hut pumps out curry goat, oxtail stews and jerk chicken to complement the garden atmosphere. The overall setup feels designed for relaxed summer evenings rather than rowdy nights." - Eater Staff
"Once you feel like you’ve gotten sufficiently cultured for the day, head to the pop-up beer garden at UCity Square. It’s a vacant lot for most of the year, but during the summer, the Philadelphia Horticultural Society turns it into a full-on forest, with big trees, wood-chip floors, and string lights. Even if you saw the word “museum” and skipped the first part of this one-two punch altogether, it’s worth taking a trip to West Philly to drink some craft beers in this Narnia-esque garden." - sydney mcelwee
"Spending lazy late afternoons with friends at the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society’s Pop Up Garden on South Street is a summer tradition. The seasonal outdoor destination is overflowing with greenery and decorated with string lights to create a garden oasis. Set up at one of the tables under the pergola and ease into the weekend with bar snacks and Bombay Sapphire Sparkling Lemons." - Rachel Vigoda
