The Best Outdoor Happy Hours in Philadelphia Right Now
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.
Pier Bar
Pier Bar is a great pick if you want outdoor happy hour without the craziness of center city foot traffic.
Found in Fairmount, it has more of that neighborhood spot feeling that you can relax into. The outdoor setup makes it especially good for those spring afternoons when you want something social but still easy.
Little Gay Pub
Little Gay Pub brings so much personality that it makes us want to go there even if they didn’t have a happy hour (but thank God they do).
The vibe on their outdoor deck feels easy, but never boring, which is exactly what a really good outdoor happy hour should be.
Pearl & Mary’s
If you want your happy hour to feel a little more polished without losing that relaxed spring energy, Pearl & Mary’s is such a good move.
Enjoy a happy hour that feels a little more elevated than your usual after-work drink. It’s airy and perfect for those nights when you want good weather and good drinks – plus an oyster or twelve.
Victory Brewing Company
Victory Brewing Company is a solid answer when you want something roomy and dependable.
Some outdoor happy hours are about the scene. A few are about knowing you can actually get comfortable and hear the people you came with, and that’s the beauty of this spot.
Keep the Spring Energy Going
If you’re already in the mindset of being outside as much as possible, keep it going. Check out our article on The Best Bars in Philadelphia for a First Warm Night Out for even more reasons to get out and enjoy the city this season.
