PHS Pop Up Garden – East Passyunk

This place is very cool and has a lot of potential. Is is a great place to meet up with a group of friends and hang out for a few drinks. The downside is the bartenders are clearly not bartenders. They are very slow, do not follow an order when serving drinks and are very rude. I went on saturday night and was shocked at the bartender’s attitude. She was extremely rude and unprofessional. If it wasn’t for employing such a terrible and miserable person this place would have gotten a 5 star review

Just went to the Garden last night for the first time. Absolutely charming place! Plenty of seats, which is good for groups. The beer selection was phenomenal. I had the Liquid Gold because it was on draft. The restrooms were very clean, fully loaded and air conditioned! Prices on alcohol wasn’t expensive, much to my surprise, which is great because this is definitely a place to go, chill and make good memories with friends. The aroma of fried onions and French fries from Pat’s King of Steaks helped fuel my appetite for dinner. I and my company will be coming back to here for sure and hopefully for many years to follow.

You have friends in town. They want cheesesteaks. You’re thinking «Ugh, the line at Jim’s is so long and South Street is kinda the worst. I’m so over Pat’s and Geno’s too BUT WAIT. There’s that new pop up garden right across the street! Ok I’ll suck it up and eat cheesesteaks if we can go hang out there after!»
I’ve been to all the pop ups and here are the pros of this one:
+ giant jenga,
+ dog and kid friendly (this could be a con depending on how you feel about these things),
+ less crowded than South Street,
+ closer to civilization than Point Breeze,
+ wide selection of delicious drinks (they make this spicy fruit punch that I’m kind of obsessed with) and they have a rotating frozen drink (it is both literally rotating and also varies day to day –think piña colada, daiquiri, margarita),
+ friendly bartenders,
+ they give you cups of water without making you buy a $ 3 bottle (SSHP, we’re in a fight)
+ good amount of seating,
+ you can go to Garage after they close.
Pop on over, you won’t regret it.

Removing a star for non-​working wifi. There’s a «free wifi» sign hanging at the entrance but bar tenders don’t know how it operates and where the router is.
The overall setup and atmosphere is awesome. Food is ok.

This is an awesome addition to South Philly after the lot has been barren for years. The garden has a nice number if seats to sit and chill out with a drink. The bartender was real nice and attentive. They had a decent beer list, and the Italian popcorn was a good spicy kick. I do hope to keep coming here until the summer’s end.

If you have children and like to drink, come to this beautiful, glorious place.

Great atmosphere. But the food is really bad. The market fries were doused in pepper flakes which made it grossly spicy for no reason. Plus super greasy. Then the SAME thing with the popcorn. What is with the red pepper??? The antipasto plate looked very messy and some stuff was inedible. Olives appeared to be canned and mushy. Service can be terrible as well.

Holy Ned! Why have I not come here sooner? This place is a real boon! If you have a membership pass you can easily walk in, order a beer from the very stylish bartenders, sit down and enjoy some of the best people watching in the city of Philadelphia!
Extra credit goes to these folks are having a men’s restroom that is CLEAN-​ER than a whistle!

This place is really cool. Definitely a fun spot to chill outside and grab a cold beverage. There are plenty of spots to sit too which is nice. I saw some people brought board games and thought that was a great idea. You need to try the 9^th street empanadas and fries. Both were delicious. And as a plus they’ll let you bring Pats or Genos in if that’s more your speed… both are right across the street. Pop on by for friendly service and a great outside atmosphere!

Great space with good drinks. Haven’t tried the food, but the menu looked good, so I’ll be going back to try that too.

Don’t come here. Please don’t. If you do then I won’t have a seat.
Seriously thrilled that this opened. It’s a welcome addition to the neighborhood. Solid food, booze and awesome ambiance. The staff is friendly. Well done PHS.
