I only wish there was more of a better food selection. But the food that they had there was still good. The service was phenomenal and the atmosphere was welcoming. I love the entertainment that included a drag queen singing and dancing. I will definitely come back in the spring.
Outstanding open air rooftop bar, south of downtown Philly! Incredible panoramic views of the Philadelphia skyline and surrounding area. Worth the trip for that alone. The bar has a laid-back relaxed feel with an assortment of places to sit or just lean against the rail and take in the view. The bar is a top of an old educational building that has been re-purposed. Just take the elevator to the top and prepare to be wowed. Bar service includes craft beer, can cocktails or mixed drinks. Some food service as well. We didn’t eat. Great place to take in the sunset and catch a nighttime view. On the other side other from the bar is a separate restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating that has views of South Philly, including the sports stadiums. This is a unique establishment and is a must do!!
Beautiful place, I love the building itself as well! Great views. Wonderful for group get togethers. Got couple of drinks and watched the sunset
Great rooftop bar on top of an old school building. Great views of Philly. No draft beers but have a decent selection as well as a decent cocktail menu
Great concept! Love the idea of giving a second use to an older building, supporting local vendors and and a wide variety of local products. Nice relaxing atmosphere with beautiful views and great service. Wish we could have seen the sunset, but that area is occupied by another business.
You come to Bok Bar for basically one reason: the views. As luck would have it, they have an amazing staff and a solid drink selection. Their food options have also improved with a roughly monthly rotation of pop-up vendors supporting.
To take in the views, you won't be charged a cover nor will you need a reservation. You may have to make your way through crowds depending on the day, however, snapping a quick picture should not be impossible. Keep in mind, there is little cover from the sun or other elements, so plan accordingly.
The beer selection is decent and they have a handful of simple cocktails to enjoy. If you aren't quite sure what you'll want, scan the QR code for the full menu and take a look or ask for some advice. The lines move fairly quickly.
Finally, the food changes often but has always been solid in my opinion. Prices are reasonable for the location as well.
Overall, worth the occasional special trip if you're not in the area often. Check it out!
Cool experience and great north facing view of Philly skyline. Not a full bar, just what's offered on drink menu, and food menu is rotating "guest chef" style
Truly an amazing spot on Philly with a great view of the Philly skyline. Bok Bar is located on the roof of an old school in Philly. With a wide open deck and a great view it's a fantastic place to hang out in good weather. The only reason it gets 4 stars instead of 5 is that the beer and cocktail list is a bit limited. It seems they trade on their located more than what they serve. Still a really cool place though!
These delicious filipino devours and roof top vibes come from the dope @bok_bar / @tabachoyphilly / @dockstreetbeer . Here is the Smoked Filipino BBQ Wings & Garlic rice 🍚; while also having a dock street Pilsner 🍺. This place has really good vibes and awesome views. The bathrooms are really clean. The bartenders and the servers are really dope and easy to talk to. If you ever find yourself wanting some dope sunset vibes by also having a beer and trying a new food residency, please check out @bok_bar @dockstreetbeer @tabachoyphilly , and, of course, told them that shimmy sent you! #philly #philadelphia #foodie #food #foodstagram #foodphotography #foodblogger #water #beer #wings #chicken #rice #garlic #sunset #views #friends
Awesome spot for rooftop drinks! The menu of craft cocktails was very good. We tried 4 different drinks and loved them all. The bar has a great view. We went in the late afternoon. It was hot, but there were shaded seating areas. I would like to come back again in the evening for sunset, or after dark.
