SkyHigh is a rooftop bar perched atop a building on North 19th Street in Philadelphia’s Logan Square area. It offers sweeping views of the city skyline, including landmarks like the Comcast Center and the Benjamin Franklin Parkway. The bar has a modern, sleek design with both indoor and outdoor seating, making it a popular spot for after-work drinks and weekend socializing. The cocktail menu features creative concoctions with fresh ingredients, alongside a selection of beers and wines. Small plates and shareable snacks are available to complement your drinks.
