"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
"The Pennsylvania Horticultural Society transformed a vacant lot in University City into what has become a favorite spot for relaxing outside, beer in hand. The theme is urban orchard, with apple trees and flowering vines, and the food is from the Jose Pistola’s crew." - Rachel Vigoda, Sarah Maiellano
"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
"The PHS Pop Up 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 oasis with big trees, wood-chip floors, and string lights. It’s family friendly—and usually packed with kids and dogs—but they specialize in garden-inspired cocktails, a seasonal food menu, and zero judgment. Even if you don’t normally hang out on South Street, it’s worth taking a trip here to drink some craft beers in this Narnia-esque garden." - Alison B. Kessler
"Fall fundraising event with dishes and cocktails from regional restaurants." - Sarah Maiellano
