Every Philadelphia summer eventually turns into a waterfront summer.

The very second the weather breaks, people start migrating east like they’re being summoned. The Delaware River stretch has become one of the easiest places in the city to build an entire night around without the need to travel. You can bounce between beer gardens, giant decks, cocktail spots, outdoor hangouts, and bars to your heart’s content.If you’re anything like the masses, suddenly everyone wants a frozen drink outside with a view of the Benjamin Franklin Bridge instead of standing shoulder-to-shoulder in a dark room pretending it’s still January.

We have finally entered that stretch of the year where nobody wants to be inside.

The second the weather hits somewhere above you-don’t-need-a-coat weather, the world (a.k.a our country, Philadelphia) starts moving again. And with that being said, happy hour again feels like something to look forward to, and suddenly every bar with outdoor seating becomes the place to be.

These are some of the best outdoor spots that combine happy hour with the outdoor time we so desperately crave.
