Travel + Leisure Confirms Philadelphia Has Become A Beer Garden Haven

Independence Beer Garden

It’s certainly no secret to us that hanging out in beer gardens has become a quintessential Philadelphia summertime pursuit.

Philadelphians and visitors flock to the great spaces, and even The New York Times cited the emerging prevalence of beer gardens as a reason Philadelphia was ranked #3 in its 52 places to go in 2015.

Seasonal parks and pop-up beer gardens have more momentum than ever as evidenced by the popularity of Spruce Street Harbor Park, the return and expansion of the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society's Pop-Up Gardens, and the arrival of brand-new pop-ups, like the Point Breeze Pop-Up.

We can't get enough of awesome pop-up parks and proper outdoor-drinking destination and neither can Travel + Leisure.

The lauded travel publication’s site recently published a piece looking at a handful of Philadelphia’s top beer gardens — including Independence Beer Garden, Spruce Street Harbor Park and The Oval — and declaring the city as being in the middle of a “beer garden renaissance.”

We totally agree, and our weekly Visit Philly Beer Garden Series happy hours on Fridays this summer make an ideal time to check out some of the biggest beer gardens in Philadelphia this summer.
