The beer garden also features art created by local artist Emmanuel Elufemi Olatunji, including one of his murals loaned from West Philadelphia non-profit HopePHL that's wrapped around the bar. The mural is to symbolize communal unity and progress, according to organizers.
uCity Square was developed by Wexford Science & Technology, and beer garden partners and operators MilkBoy Restaurant Group (MilkBoy Philly, MilkBoy South Street, Bolo Latin American kitchen and rum bar) and Our People Entertainment (OPE).
“This visionary space is brought to life through the collaboration of dedicated minds and creative spirits. From the murals on our walls to the games on our tables, every detail is meticulously curated to ensure an immersive experience that captures the essence of the neighborhood,” University City Beer Garden partners and operators MilkBoy and OPE said in a news release.
Seasonally through December, hours of operation for uCity Square Beer Garden are Thursdays and Fridays from 4 p.m. to 10 p.m., Saturdays from noon to 10 p.m. and Sundays hours may vary.
