In Philadelphia, with warm weather comes beer garden openings.
Parks on Tap will travel to multiple locations through September, Spruce Street Harbor Park has opened, The Mutter Museum is hosting a pop-up, and those are only a few spots making up Philly's ever-growing beer garden scene.
Well, this May, two more beer gardens can be added to the list of local places to grab a drink outside. The East Falls Beer Garden and the PHS Pop-Up Garden in University City will make their debuts.
In the parking lot between the restaurant In Riva and the BYOB Trolley Car Café, there will be a pop-up beer garden on the third Thursday of each month, from May through October. Thursday, May 18, will be the opening date.
The East Falls Beer Garden will be easily accessible from Kelly Drive.
