Parks on Tap
Looking to slow down and soak up some nature after a hectic work week? Look no further than the Philadelphia based, traveling beer garden, Parks on Tap.
Sip on a cold beer and kick your feet up in a hammock at one of its two locations, Trails End or Water Works. Both venues offer scenic views and a tasty tap menu. In addition, a portion of the proceeds is donated to Philadelphia Parks & Recreation to help keep our parks clean, green and bountiful. It’s a win-win!
Silk City
Change up your scenery this Memorial Day weekend at Silk City! Located in the Northern Liberties, this diner and garden lounge is covered from head to toe with colorful neon lights and eccentric decor. Go for brunch between 11:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. or stop by at night for dinner and drinks. Either way, the unique atmosphere and tasty menu will surely spice up your holiday weekend.
