With the weather warming up in Philadelphia, venues for happy hour that have outdoor seating are in high demand.  Unfortunately, they can get quite crowded.  One place that I sometimes forget about is Continental.  They have a nice selection of happy hour drinks and snacks with a very reasonable price point during happy hour featuring discounted cocktails and plates.
