Bok Bar

The biggest issue with all of the rooftops in the middle of the city is that you can’t see the whole skyline, since you’re technically in it. That’s not a problem at Bok Bar, a spacious rooftop bar on the top floor of an old school building in South Philly that has 360-degree views of the entire city. There’s a rotation of chefs each month, so you can expect everything from porchetta sandwiches and chicken empanadas to poke bowls to pair with a margarita (or three). It’s only open for a few months during the summer, which means that when it is open, there’s usually a line out the door, but fortunately the space is so huge that once you’re up there it doesn’t feel very crowded.
