Libations: A Guide to
Summer Drinking Spots
JESSE BERNSTEIN | JE STAFF
F irst of all, if you are under 21, you must immediately cease reading this article. Alternately, ask
your nearest parent or guardian if you can be permitted to continue.

OK. Now that we’ve weeded out any would-be criminals, if you’re interested in drinking your
way across the City of Brotherly Love and the surrounding metropolitan area, have we got the list for
you! Th is list includes everything from family-friendly microbreweries to weekend cocktail bar options
to big, loud beer gardens. L’chaim!
PHS Pop-Up Garden
Yards Brewing Co.

Th e Pennsylvania Horticultural Society’s beer garden, open
April through October and located on South Street, provides a
bevy of options for adults and kids. Th is year’s vague theme is
“Summer of Love,” while new food and drinks from the owners
of Khyber Pass Pub and Triangle Tavern, among other Philly
favorites, will be served all summer long, including a Froze Petal
with rosé and something called a “Flower Pour Sour.” Upcoming
programs and events include a “Critter Craft ernoon” for kids and
recurring “Botanical Cocktails with Ketel One.”
Is Yards the premier craft brewery in Philadelphia? You’re going
to have to go and make that determination for yourself. Th is
70,000-square-foot facility is a great place to watch a baseball
game or to completely ignore one, or to try any of their 20
signature beers on tap. Try the green long hot sauce chicken
wings or the miso ramen. You can also tour the brewery and get
a couple of beers out of that, too.

1438 South St., Philadelphia
500 Spring Garden St., Philadelphia
Frankfor d Hall
1210 Frankford Ave., Philadelphia
Giant pretzels and enormous beer steins abound at Frankford Hall,
where you can sit at communal tables in the 250-person courtyard.

Highlights of the biergarten include the aforementioned food
and drinks for giants, but you’d do well to treat yourself to a
Bananaweizen, too. Prepare for it to be more or less packed if you
come on a nice night (or even a not-so-nice one). Also, ping-pong!
Evil Genius Beer Co.

1727 N. Front St., Philadelphia
Stacy’s Mom. Trust Th e Process. Weird Flex But Ok. Th ose
are just a few of the beers you can fi nd at the Evil Genius Beer
Company Lab and beer garden, a dog-friendly spot to try
out some of Philadelphia’s most inventive brews. Stop by this
summer for burlesque, quiz games and a Low Country Boil.

Chaddsford Winery
632 Baltimore Pike, Chadds Ford
June 8-9 is Wine Slushie Weekend so
before you get any further, you’re going
to want to mark that down in your
calendar. Chaddsford Winery was
established in 1982, and is one of the
largest wineries in Pennsylvania. The
’16 Cabernet Sauvignon and ’17 Red
Standard are among the most popular.

Cardinal Hollow Winery
1830 West Point Pike, West Point
Located in Lansdale, this winery also
has a tasting room in Peddler’s Village,
and both of them are lovely spots for an
affordable tasting that’s sure to delight.

Cardinal Hollow has its fair share of
popular flavors, but if you’re willing to
try something a little outside of the box,
try the jalapeño: “Hot but won’t make
you sweat.” Their sangrias also come
highly recommended.

Bok Bar
800 Mifflin St., Philadelphia
This rooftop wonder located on top of
a closed-down technical high school
serves a wide variety of beers, wines and
more, all with a beautiful view of Center
City from the south. This summer’s food
menu is set to be a Middle Eastern
affair — doner kebab gyros, spicy beef
hand pie with harissa yogurt, falafel and
more. Take your kids here before 7 p.m.,
and take your dog, too, on Sundays.

Don’t miss their Rooftop Yoga sessions,
either, which take place throughout the
summer. COMPLIMENTARY LUNCH & GUIDED TOUR

Chestnut Hill Brewing Co.

8221 Germantown Ave., Philadelphia
The Chestnut Hill Brewing Co., a micro-
brewery, also happens to be home to a
huge beer garden and a wide variety of
wood-fired pizzas. They usually have
eight draft beers on tap, though they’ll
have just four this summer, while they
go through renovations (they’ve replaced
the other four with local microbrews).

$5 pints from Wednesday to Friday from
4-6 p.m.
