Parson's Chicken & Fish embraces drinking, eating, good times and is a great outdoor venue.
With some free time, I had the opportunity to check out the patio at Parson's Chicken and Fish and sampled Parson's Beer, the original Negroni Slushy, along with some other libations.  This venue definitely captures the energy and essence of a great summer patio.

Independence Beer Garden is a large spacious area in Independence Mall (near the Liberty Bell) that uses all the space around the Rohm & Hass Building. There's bar seating, Adirondack chairs, green space and even air-conditioned re-purposed shipping containers to hang out in during the warmer summer months.  Be warned, if its windy or chilly it can be difficult to stay warm if you're not dressed appropriately. 

There certainly have been a plethora of outdoor pop up style beer gardens in Philadelphia over the past few years and this is definitely one of the good ones to check out. 

Frankford Hall

Frankford Hall is a fun spot for drinking beer during the day or evenings in Northern Liberties.  There is nice outdoor space, ping pong tables and even heat lamps for when it gets a tiny bit chilly.
