Who doesn’t love a good view from the top of the #rockysteps and the best way to get there? One of our BYOB trolley rides of course. Hope to see it this weekend 🚃and happy #williampennwednesday

For today’s #tuesdayboozeday we got to check out @philadelphiadistilling in Northern Liberties. This cocktail called “Sparks Shot Tower” includes their famous Blue Coat gin, beet, ginger, lemon, honey and special house made bitters. Philadelphia Distilling was our states very first craft distillery and this cocktail was as tasty as it was pretty. Cheers!

For this weeks #muralmonday we’re featuring “Aspire: No limits” located on 21st and Ellsworth. A collaboration between Ernest Martinez and Tariq “Black Thought” Trotter from The Roots, the mural celebrates the life of Doctor Shawn L. White. Born and raised in South Philly he created health initiatives on HIV/AIDS as well as sexually transmitted diseases aimed at young African American men in the city. After his sudden death in 2013 the neighborhood, and city really felt the loss and erected this mural shortly after to honor Dr. White, a true community leader.

Happy birthday to one of our favorite men in histo

Happy birthday to one of our favorite men in history, and one of the biggest lovers of quaint farmers markets, Ben Franklin 🥳 (did you know that this was Bens favorite emoji??) He was obviously a very quotable man, but one of our favorites and one that seems particularly relevant “Be at war with your vices, at peace with your neighbors, and let every year find you a better man”. Looking pretty good there Ben, for 314 years old!

Happy #throwbackthursday to one of our favorite musicians @thejeremyadam playing a little Weezer for our Beer and Band tour. It starts up again the first Saturday in May and runs all summer long! Tickets are currently available on our website. Who doesn’t want to be on an island in the sun? 🍻☀️

Being the only #byob tour in the city we know a thing or two about a good cocktail, like this Basilic from @parcrittenhouse containing citrus vodka, elderflower, basil and cucumber. Both refreshing and delicious it’s the perfect way to enjoy an afternoon by Rittenhouse Square. Happy #tuesdayboozeday everyone 🍹

This oldie but goodie along Pine Street fits perfectly with the beautiful weather we had this weekend. The mural titled “Spring” was painted by David Guinn back in 2000 and has been restored twice since. The idea was to connect the real trees on either side of the wall as if there were a park there, rather then just a parking lot. We love that he used surrounding nature to turn this wall into something beautiful!

This picture gives us all the #humpdayvibes and warm weather feels. Who else can’t wait to spend a sunny lunch break lounging in the grass next to city hall??

A dreary Monday coupled with a gut wrenching Eagle

A dreary Monday coupled with a gut wrenching Eagles loss means we could all use a little brightness and we thought “The Electric Street” by muralist @_david_guinn was the perfect fit. Located on Percy Street between Reed and Wharton the “Percy Street Project” hopes to eventually span the entire block, and attract pedestrian traffic to a previously under used public space. Very cool. Happy #muralmonday
