From September 18 through September 20, the historic Fort Mifflin becomes one of Philly's most unusual music venues, with three days of DJs, live performances, electronic music, and experimental sounds. 

And while there will be plenty of food and drinks available inside the festival, sometimes you want to start the night with a proper bar stop.

So if you're making time for Making Time, here's where to grab a drink prior.

Sure, there are music festivals, Philly is no stranger to that. But there are music festivals, and then there's Making Time. For one weekend a year, a Revolutionary War-era fort on the banks of the Delaware River trades its cannon smoke past for fog machines, while Philadelphia's most devoted dance music community shows up and shows out, in order to prove that DIY spirit and world-class production aren't mutually exclusive.
