First up is The Patio, an outdoor lounge inspired by the design and style of mid-century Palm Springs, according to its website. Visitors can expect a wide selection of cocktails and craft beer cans, as well as The Sound of Trestle and special guest DJs spinning tunes all summer long.

On the cocktail menu, sample the Spring Arts Sangria, made with Sycamore Lane Pinot Grigio, fresh orange juice, pineapple juice, peach liqueur and puree, triple sec and tropical fruits. Or try The Patio Sour: Old Forester bourbon mixed with elderflower liqueur, blue agave nectar, orange flower water and fresh lemon juice.

The Patio currently has one review from Maddie M.

She wrote, "If you're looking for a spot filled with Ikea furniture and fake cacti, you've hit the spot. Located in the upcoming loft district, this bar is sure to get you high on citronella."

The Patio is open from 6–11 p.m. on Friday and Saturday and 5–10 p.m. on Sunday. (It's closed from Monday-Thursday.)

Next, check out Love City Brewing Company, whose signature beers include the Love City Lager, an American golden lager that is lightly malty with a touch of floral, citrus hop character and a crisp finish. 

Other options include the Obscura Dunkel, a toasty drink with light coffee and chocolate flavors and a clean finish. West Coast visitors might enjoy the Mean Machine — a classic West Coast IPA with bold pine and citrus. Seasonal beers are also available. (Find the full list here.)

Yelpers are excited about Love City Brewing Company, which currently holds 4.5 stars out of 49 reviews on the site.

Lolly G. wrote, "Loved this place! Food truck out back. Try the Kool Thing Brut IPA. They also have beer cocktails, which is hard to find. I tried one with IPA and gin and was thrilled."

Yelper Sunny S. wrote, "Awesome new brewery in Philly! Great beers, cool ambiance and just an overall fun spot to hang out. They have a pretty large assortment of beers, including many IPAs and lagers. I got a flight and then switched over to pints, and was able to try many different beers that night."
