Bok Bar, nestled on 800 Mifflin St in Philadelphia, is quickly becoming a beloved destination for locals and visitors alike. Touted for its stunning rooftop views, patrons rave about the vibrant atmosphere that merges relaxing vibes with tantalizing culinary delights. From Filipino BBQ wings to Venezuelan offerings, the food vendors here deliver unique flavors that leave a lasting impression. Joe Lannan captured the essence of Bok Bar perfectly, describing it as "one of the cutest spots near South Philly," enhanced by live music and rotating events in the adjacent auditorium. The laid-back vibe is reinforced by the no-frills ordering system— patrons are encouraged to make their way to the bar to pick up their refreshments, whether it's a refreshing cocktail or a non-alcoholic beverage. The drink selection is impressive, with a variety of beers, wines, and cocktails to suit all palates. Pil G noted the easy access through an elevator and the necessity of proving your age, ensuring a safe environment for guests. While weekends can get crowded, the magic is evident during sunset—offering a picturesque backdrop that elevates any gathering. With friendly staff and a clean facility, Bok Bar is undeniably a gem in the heart of Philadelphia, merging delightful eats with an unforgettable experience.

Literally one of the cutest spots near south Philly. The rooftop bar has a beautiful view of the city with great specials, music, and small plates. The building itself houses cowork and flex spaces, as well as permanent offices. The old school’s auditorium hosts events like candlelight tribute shows animated other things. What a lovely gem for the neighborhood.

The view speaks for itself. Atmosphere is very laid back and relaxed. You order everything at the bar and pick up your own food, no table service. Prices are ok for the area. They had Venezuelan food when I went, and it was all very delicious. The staff are very nice. It can get a little hot when its sunny. Overall, I would recommend it.

Drinks selections is now huge but enough variey; cocktails, beers, non alcoholic. You have to get a bracelet proving you are 21 and take elevator to the bar. View is the best part

These delicious filipino devours and roof top vibes come from the dope @bok_bar / @tabachoyphilly / @dockstreetbeer . Here is the Smoked Filipino BBQ Wings & Garlic rice ; while also having a dock street Pilsner . This place has really good vibes and awesome views. The bathrooms are really clean. The bartenders and the servers are really dope and easy to talk to. If you ever find yourself wanting some dope sunset vibes by also having a beer and trying a new food residency, please check out @bok_bar @dockstreetbeer @tabachoyphilly , and, of course, told them that shimmy sent you! #philly #philadelphia #foodie #food #foodstagram #foodphotography #foodblogger #water #beer #wings #chicken #rice #garlic #sunset #views #friends

Super cute rooftop bar with food venders. My first time here was around sunset, the view is amazing. You can see as far as New Jersey. But it was super crowded and we were unable to find a seat. The second time was around 5pm. More chill crowd and bok bar were having a salsa dance event . The ambience was superb.

Beautiful historic building. Stunning views of the city. Bar and event space. Events like DJ sets are often free! Good food. Reasonable drink prices compared to the average city bar. Last time, we had an incredible Korean cheesesteak and fries and a lemon shandy. Recommend! Parking is nightmarish in this neighborhood so we always Uber or Lyft. Better plan if drinking anyway.

Its a great spot to have a beer and get a view of the city. Wait time to get in around 4pm on a Saturday was about 15 minutes.

This is a famous bar in South Philly! Many media recommend this!! This is a bar on the roof top of old school building. So on the ground floor of this building you can see gym and a bathroom it is just what we can feel old school days. In the entrance you have to show your ID and be in line for elevator. Very crowded in evening! After you get in the roof you can have very beautiful view of Philly. I love it very much!!!! I you would like it for sure!!!! You can buy drinks and find any seats. But it is very crowded so I think it takes a little bit time to find seats. Especially side space are very crowded with people enjoying the view. This is a great place which you can enjoy drinks with good view!!! You you have to go!!! We can have free parking here!! Just in front if the entrance, we can find the parking place for Bok Bar guests!!!! This is awesome!!!!!
