"Here’s the bad news–everyone in Philadelphia knows about Fishtown’s Frankford Hall. That means it’s crowded on every sunny summer day, and a go-to spot even during the winter when the backyard is full of heaters and fire pits. The good news, though, is that the space is so big that you won't wait long before enjoying a beer, Bavarian pretzels, wiener schnitzel, and sausages at the long communal tables. It’s got some of the best beer hall food in the city, along with a few Jenga sets and lawn games that are always making their way around the patio." - candis mclean
