When we said "come cozy up in your favorite fall attire," we assumed you'd wear flannels, or perhaps a scarf.
You don't have to commit to embodying Oktober vibes as much as this guy did last year, but you can still BYOO* β spending the season outdoors with changing leaves, festive beers or hot drinks, and the people who make it fun. ππ»
*Bring Your Own Oktoberfest π
Our hot drinks will keep you toasty in the garden this fall! Come on out with friends, family, and even the pups for some much needed crisp autumn air πβοΈ
It's 4 o'clock somewhere π» The sun is setting sooner, so we're opening earlier! π
Check out the new hours for your go-to garden before your next visit.
We partner with Bottle Underground to collect glass from our bar that is then downcycled into glass sand and upcycled into new glassware β like these STUNNING new lights! π‘πΎ
This collaboration ensures none of our glass goes to waste and supports PHS's determination to grow a healthier region.
Did you catch these new light fixtures at our 10th anniversary party this past weekend? π There's still time, we're open all fall!
Cheers to the COUNTLESS people who have made the PHS Pop Up Garden at South Street the special place that it is. πΏ
