This summer there was a pop up rooftop bar called Le Bok Fin that borrowed the Edward Bok Technical High School which has been closed for years.  The concept offered casual dining and beverages with a pleasant rooftop view of Philadelphia.  It was definitely a nice use of a shuttered location.

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.
