"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
"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
"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
