It is no secret that Philadelphia has a beautiful cityscape, but to catch a great glimpse of it in a relaxing area, you’ll need to know where you’re going. Atop Philadelphia’s The Logan hotel, you’ll find Assembly Rooftop Lounge – an upscale rooftop open-air bar with a view that overlooks the Benjamin Franklin Parkway.

To access, you’ll enter the hotel and head towards the elevators, and take them all the way up to the rooftop. There, you’ll enter into a beautiful bar area where, if you choose, you can drink and eat on the inside. But the beauty is on the outside. Assembly Lounge opens up so that you can hang out with friends or family or even have a date night right in the outdoor area. With high-top tables as well as couch areas around little fireplaces, you’ll be comfortable, relaxed, and immersed in the fantastic ambiance.

I suggest getting the charcuterie board which is made up of the chef’s choices of cheese, meats, and other aspects. And not to knock down the small plats, because they are great, but let’s talk more about the amazing cocktails. During the colder months, the bar serves hot cocktails such as Peanut Butter & Chocolate, Mulled Wine, and other specialty cocktails. And then during the warmer months, enjoy some of the frosés and other frozen cocktails along with all of the other specialty drinks that you won’t find anywhere else.

Assembly Rooftop is a must-visit place. I’ve been there a few times for events as well as for happy hours with friends. And each time, there’s a new drink to try and love.
