Frankford Hall

Stephen Starr's Fishtown beer garden runs year round, and Philadelphia Magazine says the outdoor area is big enough to absorb all comers whether you bring one friend or thirty. The menu is German biergarten food: giant soft pretzels, schnitzel and a range of bratwurst, with heat lamps and fire pits keeping the yard warm through winter. Weekend brunch draws families, and the magazine notes Santa turns up over the holidays. Order a giant soft pretzel and a bratwurst, and take a seat at one of the long shared tables.
