Great rooftop bar in the museum district of philly. Because of the current times we are in the amount of people allowed in are limited so i recommend getting their early to try to get in or else there will be a wait. They do have table time limits. You also are required to buy food. I had a frose',and tiki sour and shrimp cocktail. Everything taste great. The views were beautiful as well. Made for an overall great outing read more

I hosted a birthday party at assembly this past weekend and had a wonderful experience. I worked with Lauren during the planning process and she was a pleasure to work with and very helpful. Everything from the venue to the service was wonderful. The entire team was so great and easy to work with. As always, the food was delicious and my guests are still raving about it. The party menu has a variety of amazing options to accommodate any guest. I can't wait to host my next event at assembly and would recommend to anyone I know. I did a lot of research of where to have my party in Philadelphia and Assembly is hands down the best choice. read more

It is always a treat being at Assembly. The perfect taste of the city life but not feeling cramped or in the thick of it. The cocktails are always delish and so well crafted. Fave cocktails: Frose, Shall I Have Another, and Rose Gold Marg! Favorite Bites: Love the flatbreads! The views are easily the best around. I've been here many times night and day. With family, friends, or a date night. Perfect for any occasion. Its a happening spot with lots going on but I think the staff to a great job making sure everyone is taken care of, whether you''re a re party of 2 or renting out the whole space. read more

Premier views come with a premier drink price tag for sure. I love bringing friends from out of the city to Assembly, but we only normally stay for one drink a piece and then head elsewhere. It's a good place to start the night and maybe take in the sunset, but more than 3 drinks and you'd spend a small fortune in my opinion. If you're rich like that and have daddy's (or your own) money to burn as you sip bourbon in your custom tailored suit, by all means, but this isn't the place to get sloshed at if you're common folk like myself. The patio itself is rather tight, with the couch tables being on a "reservation only" type schedule. The bar itself is hard to get a drink at, because there are numerous chairs blocking the actual counter. If the view wasn't so nice, I honestly would stop coming here. read more

I am at the rooftop bar right now. It is absolutely awful. We rented a table for our friends birthday. They stuck us in a dark corner of the rooftop. We were supposed to have a heater but it doesn't work and they refused to do anything about it after several complaints. Some blonde waitress dressed as an angel told me she didn't have time to help us. They wouldn't come to take our order but they were lightning quick to rush the bill out to us. Food tasted alright despite micro sized portions. Will never come back really do not recommend. read more

Nice for a drinks/apertivo moment. You have to go during sunset though! Had to pay a $10/person cover charge. If you want something new to do I think the cover's worth it but to be honest you could find similar vibes with no cover. The bites we got were good but pretty standard. We sat by a nice fireplace which kept us warm and toasty (we went in October). read more

Assembly rooftop Lounge is a great place to find yourself sunset as the views of The Parkway are absolutely stunning. This is my go-to rooftop bar around Center City. During the summer months you can really give your friends and dates a nice city experience by bringing them here. Be sure to bring a good camera and dress up for the Selfies and photos you'll be in! The rooftop Lounge is connected to a hotel so you'll meet a lot of out-of-towners and tourists which can be quite fun. There's never a cover to come up. They'll just check your ID at the ground floor. Upstairs if I remember correctly the food is overpriced although it may be delicious. In terms of drinks all I've ever had is a beer and that's the average price around the city maybe around 6 or $7. Step out into the sun or moon light and you'll see that there are fire pits with couches for large groups of people to mingle. The crowd tends to be a bit older and you'll see less of the immediate post-college college crowd. Take a warm night and be sure to enjoy this spot. Be sure to tell your friends! And next time bring them along! read more

The drinks are good, but prices are higher than most places I've been in Philly. You also have to pay $10 per person when you make a reservation, which is atypical in my experience, but you won't get a table without a reservation. The views overlooking Logan Square / West Philly are very nice, particularly around sunset. My main complaint is that the music was unbearably loud. I came to have a drink and talk with my friend and had to yell right next to them. read more

I came here for the Halloween special drinks and I think this is the place to be even if it's not Halloween. We didn't have any reservations or had to wait to get a table. However we did get there right when happy hour started. I would suggest trying to come a little early, because by the end of the night it was very busy and almost all the tables were packed. We got a couple of different drinks with the Halloween menu. My ultimate favorite was the black magic, it was a frozen gin drink that had lemonade. It was very enjoyable and I caught myself getting another even when it started to get cold outside. The views are incredible. If you can get a seat outside I would highly suggest that. You can see Ben Franklin Parkway perfectly, and with the leaves changing colors everything looked so beautiful. They do have heating lamps and some tables have a fire pit. Overall it was a great experience and I can't wait to go back! read more

While seated on the outdoor rooftop area during a cold fall evening the seating area we were located at had a heater that was not turned on. Upon attempting to turn the heater on, a staff member came to us immediately and yelled at us to not touch the heater despite us explaining that it was not on and us being well versed in how the heaters work. The staff member then disappeared and did not return. We had to get up from our seating area to inquire if the staff was going to turn on the heater to which none of the staff members were able to give an answer. Only members of the staff that deserve to be paid are the bartenders. read more

Staff is so nice let us grab drinks at the bar and stay by a table with a view until they needed it for reservations. Cocktails were great. The views are great too! read more

Assembly Rooftop Lounge - Cocktails, 2 Rose Gold Margaritas and a paloma - Lounges Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Came with a group of friends/family to celebrate me and my husband's 31st wedding anniversary. I heard about Assembly through a relative who came for cocktails. I thought this would be the perfect meet up spot before heading to dinner. This rooftop bar is a lounge that services bar food and cocktails which fit the bill for me and my group of 11. The place is located in the Logan Hotel on the 9th floor. There is no cover and no reservations. It's first come first serve. The views are of the Ben Franklin Parkway and the art museum. Once you stepped off the elevator there is staff to greet you. We arrived around 8 ish. The crowd was a small which was fine since we had a large party. The hostess at first sat us near the ledge with a great view. We hadn't even gotten our drinks and another hostess came over to say "I have good news and bad news". My heart started to drop thinking we would have to move and loose this beautiful view. The good news was we were being seated by the fire pit. Yes!!!! My group and I headed over to the fire pit, ordered drinks, took lots of pics and had a blast. . The air was crisp, the drinks was flowing with a beautiful flame hitting our faces. We couldn't have ask for a better night. As I stated, we had dinner reservations so we couldn't stay long but will be back for sure. read more

Came from out of town, and decided to have a rooftop vibe at Assembly. The ambiance was great, the music was enjoyable, and the food and service were outstanding. Special shout out to Maria who was a top notch hostess. We wanted an outside location and it wasn't available. She placed us inside on a couch that was cool. Not even there for 10 min. She placed us outside and we enjoyed the rest of the evening. Definitely will come back again. read more

I've gone to a few of the rooftop bars in Philly and I think Assembly might be my favorite so far. It's super cute and has nice seating outside at tables or like lounge seating - it's sophisticated but still casu. You won't really see Center City but I think Logan Square and the Museum District are a different but comparable view. There's NO cover (at lest not when I've gone). The staff is super friendly and accommodating. It started drizzling when we were there and I asked one of the servers if they could give us some of the reserved seating under the small retractable roof that's still outside and they were very nice about it. The drinks are cute and yummy! Honestly too yummy that it might be a little dangerous lol like count your drinks just in case. We had a taste of all the cocktails and loved all of them! They also have a good selection of wines and beers. Super cute date spot! read more

This place just... sucks. I'm a local and have tried to come here 6 times in the past year. I have never, not once, been able to do so. They "don't take reservations" but they suddenly "have a waiting list 2 hours long" when you arrive. There's always some reason you can't go outside. Or a private event conveniently not mentioned when you call ahead to make sure they're open and seating people. The front "greeting" staff is condescending. Sure, the view is nice but you won't get to see it. Don't bother with this place. read more

the service was lousy, we had to call our server every time and when asking a question was given attitude by host. Staff forgot to give us a platter we ordered. I would except better service for the price you pay. I would only go back if I need a drink with a view. read more

Great drinks nice bite , awesome view and nice vibe ... played good music . Would go back for sure

I read reviews and wanted to go to assembly. The entry sequence was "ok". The bar is well appointed and the location and views were stunning. There was a little confusion on the host stand in regard to the seating arrangement but we sat outside with a little bit of work. Considering how empty the bar was I was a little irritated at the difficult seating. I ordered a double gin and tonic at the bar and we sat outside. We ordered another round of drinks and some appetizers. The food was good but the service again was "ok". It seemed the servers were more intent on getting out early than serving. And then the bill came! Two double G&T's were $64. I've had many doubles in my life but this was definitely the most expensive 2 drinks I've had for sometime. Pass. Great views, stunning location everything else was passé. We contacted the manager and got a "I'll check into it" the next day and two weeks later still no response. That's effective followup and good service response. Good job Assembly! read more

Really, really bad (and poorly dressed and looking) service, dirty (we saw a cockroach on the ground in front of our table), a rooftop "view" that borders on embarrassing, and in general a place that's attempting to be something it is really not. This is not an exclusive Manhattan establishment you'll see socialites and attractive people walking around. This is Philadelphia- and you'll get that kind of crowd and that kind of service and atmosphere. We had a bug in our drink and weren't even compensated- we were charged for the drink, and it was disgusting. The food was average at best and took so long it was almost laughable at how much time it could take a kitchen to make one flatbread. read more

Weather permitting this is a great vibe!!! Really relaxed and chill lounge with a great view. Their food is actually pretty good too! You may have a tough time getting in if you don't have a reservation. So I would recommend calling in advance. read more

This place is awesome. If you like roof decks with a great view and great drinks then this is a must to check out. Specifically they have really good frozen margaritas. However, you must respect these margaritas because they are no joke! I had 3 of them and I was done for the night. One caveat is that I was here during a work event so I am not sure how busy this place gets on a normal night. read more

Assembly Rooftop Lounge - Lounges Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

A great centrally located rooftop bar with great views of Philadelphia. On a nice evening, you can sit outside if it is not too crowded and have a drink and some upscale food. The hostess was nice but not outstanding. I visited with 2 other people on an early evening on a week night. Not too crowded so she was able to seat us outside. All of the couch areas were reserved so we took a high top next to the outer wall which gave us a great view of the city. The sun had not set yet so there were a few too many flying bugs for our pleasure. We ordered the charcuterie board and it had some very chef inspired creations. Too bad we spent much of the time swatting the bugs away and then having to cover it with a napkin so we could eat bug free. Our server Yogi was very nice and when asked if he had access to an Iphone charger, he gladly accommodated us. This is the perfect place to come for a romantic event or with a group of friends to have a drink and some good food. When the weather is perfect, the roof top outside seating is the place to be! read more

The Alpine Heights pop up stinks! Paid a $10/per person cover to make a reservation in advance and still ended up waiting 25 minutes to be seated. There are only two "fire pits" on the deck, which are reserved for larger parties, so be prepared to sit at a regular table with a barely functioning patio heater. The drinks are unremarkable for the price you pay and we didn't even bother getting food. Also, the decorations are a joke - they put up some garland, a couple antler chandeliers, a few snowflake ornaments, and called it a day. Pass on Alpine Heights and just enjoy this place in the spring and/or summer. read more

The view and decor is so wonderful and romantic. Food was solid. Drinks are a little pricey but I guess you are paying for the view. The service was very nice and offered cozy blankets while we drank our hot spiked drinks, sat by the fire, and just enjoyed a real good conversation. read more

Incredible atmosphere, great decor. The service is horrible, however, and when paying $16/drink I expect excellent service and a half decent martini? Overall unimpressed, but the views were great. Heard great things about the food but saw no reviews on yelp about it. read more

Assembly Rooftop Lounge - Martini - Lounges Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

I'm a fan based on my one visit. The view alone is worth it and that is a big part of a good rooftop bar. It has a lounge feel with sofa seating on the patio. I like this aspect but it certainly limits the amount of seating available outside. A lot of the seating was reserved but there was standing room with a spot to set drinks so it was still enjoyable. I ordered a round of Blanton's bourbon for the group I was with, doubles at that. And the price was high, but that's what you get when you order Blanton's at a bar. It was smooth and tasty and is definitely one of the best bourbons available. Back to the view. It was night and the lights were on in Logan Square and the surrounding buildings. The fountain was beaming and the path of lights leading to the Art Museum looked awesome. The Franklin Institute, Parkway Central Library, Philadelphia Pennsylvania Temple, and the Cathedral Basilica of Saints Peter and Paul were all lit up and looking amazing. This is certainly the highlight of this venue. I will definitely be back to enjoy this fantastic view that goes great with a drink and conversation. read more

I LOVE ASSEMBLY ROOFTOP! I have been here more times than I can remember at this point, and I have yet to be dissatisfied. If you're lucky, you'll get to snag a seat on the lounge sofas (which I was only able to twice so far), and if not sofas, at least a table. There have been times I was unable to snag a sofa and table and ended up standing - which is the only issue I have with this rooftop lounge. Limited Seating. Other than that, I love everything about this place, but most of all - their FROSE!! Best frose (frozen rose wine) I've ever had in my life, hands down. My bf has ordered an old fashioned a couple times, and he loves it as well. The view is one of my favorites because it's mostly people watching, and by people watching, I mean staring at the people playing in the Logan Square Fountain. Also, sometimes, they are closed for private events. So, if you're planning your night out solely based on Assembly, I would recommend calling ahead - there were a few times in my life, I found out after I had gone there that it was closed. Very sad times. Other than that, keep an open mind & I highly recommend! read more

Rooftop bars like this make me pray that it never snows nor rains ever again. Esq and I arrived at the Assembly around 10:00 PM on Saturday night with another couple in tow. We didn't experience the pretention nor the 'tudes that some of the other Yelpers referenced. We were met with smiles and whisked up to the rooftop lounge where we found a perfect outdoor high-top table to relax and enjoy a few cocktails. The views are stunning. It was a perfect spring evening with warm breezes blowing and stars abound (cripes, that sounds like a song from the 1970's). The only thing that perplexed me was how many people were wading in the fountain in Logan Square. Is that normal? If you tried to pull that malarkey NYC, your hiney would be in jail faster than you can say, "My bunions were killing me!" Prices were on point for a new posh lounge and we found the waitstaff to be attentive. We liked that they didn't overly pack the space with patrons. Nothing is worse than people bumping into you while you're trying to enjoy your libation. Don't make me spill my dirty martini...don't you dare do it! read more

I went here with a family member. $10 per person for a reservation which I found expensive just for a reservation. The process for the reservation was easy. We enter through Logan Hotel and found the elevator to the rooftop bar. It is a 90 minute time limit. Once we got there it was a very nice atmosphere. The view was amazing. I did look at the menu beforehand and knew they didn't serve much other than apps and drinks. We ordered two drinks, the cheese board, and a dessert. Everything was around $16-19 each. It was expensive but if you have the money to blow, it was worth it. I definitely don't regret coming here but I won't come again due to the high prices and lack of menu. I would recommend to come once for the ambiance but after that, it just depends if you like drinking and eating apps and not a full meal. read more

COVID Note: Tables were well spaced on the roof deck, servers wore masks. Felt very safe, but the heat lamps were not warm at all! It was freezing as soon as the sun set. They should really have 2 lamps per table, not one. Really enjoyed the ambiance, but felt that the drinks / food were a bit overpriced. Will try to come back in the warmer months to give it another shot! read more

Our server was so friendly!! The view was spectacular. We only had a couple drinks and some prawns so I can't really summarize their menu! Their prawns were so fresh but it was lacking flavor on the plate. If I remember correctly it comes with 3 prawns for $17 and if you want to add an extra prawn it's an additional $7. That banana daiquiri was a hit though!! read more

If you're looking for a great rooftop lounge in Center City, Philadelphia, you found it. Though it gets crowded and reservations are strongly recommended, the bar does serve food and great drinks. There are also fire pits and lounge areas outside, which also require a reservation. We enjoyed the flatbread, sausage, drinks, and later at night we came back for the chocolate fondue. It really has a fun vibe and an interesting menu. read more

OMGGG first time here! Food was amazing, drinks were epic! Can't thank Anthony enough for taking such good care of us! Thanks Anthony!

This restaurant was highly disappointing and a waste of time and money. We paid a $10 cover charge per person, and we came here for dinner, but unfortunately...to our surprise... they do not serve dinner! They only serve small plates like cheese plates and flatbread's. I discovered that most of the pictures that are on yelp is food items that are no longer available on the menu. They were seasonal. We ended up getting the flat bread (which was good) then we went down the street to a different restaurant for dinner.This restaurant does have a fabulous view of the city. But if you want a meal, This is not the place. read more

What a great way to end my MDW in Philly. My friend took me up to Assembly for a rooftop cocktail on Monday evening before I left back home for San Diego. We were able to get a table along the edge, so that we could see the great view. It was so nice to look down and see all the cool places we had already visited over the weekend. The service was efficient, we got 2 waters and 2 cocktails. My Old Cuban was AMAZING. So light and refreshing! read more
