The moment you step inside, you’re enveloped by vibrant energy and an inviting atmosphere, making it a perfect spot for both casual catch-ups and special occasions.
As you settle in, prepare to be tempted by their exquisite menu of small plates. The Arugula Salad, priced at just $12, bursts with the freshness of citrus vinaigrette, complimented by nicoise olives and pecorino. For those craving comfort, the Four Cheese Fondue at $15 pairs beautifully with crusty bread and honeycrisp apple for a delightful dip. And don't overlook the Tartiflette, rich with Yukon gold potatoes, caramelized onions, and raclette cheese, offering a warm hug on a plate for $14.
Beverages are an experience unto themselves here at Assembly. The cocktail list reads like a lyrical adventure, with clever names and enticing ingredients. Try the Plum Spiced Old Fashioned for a seasonal twist on a classic, or sip on the refreshing Beet You to the Slopes, featuring mezcal and fresh lime, sure to tantalize your palate for $16. For sparkling lovers, the Brut Prosecco, available at $15, complements any choice of small plate.
Customer experiences echo the lounge’s charm; after all, it’s not just the views that keep patrons coming back. Reviews recount delightful encounters with the staff, notably a friendly host named Brian, whose hospitality adds warmth to the already inviting ambiance. Diners rave about the delicious lobster rolls and cheesecake flight, the latter competing fiercely with even the finest New York offerings. Moreover, the ability to create custom, non-alcoholic drinks showcases the lounge’s inclusivity, further enhancing its appeal.

“ Everything about this place was so great! Obviously, the views are unbeatable - if you're visiting Philly this is a must-come place just for the views. But the food and drinks and service were also top-tier! Do not miss out on the lobster rolls, tacos, bao buns, and burrata, all of which were perfect! We all shared a couple flatbreads, too, and they were delicious. We absolutely didn't think we'd have room for a - wait for it - CHEESECAKE FLIGHT for dessert, but we ordered it anyway thinking we'd each only have a couple bites and before we knew it, it was gone. I mean, wow. So, so, so good. Better than New York cheesecake. We loved our waitress, but we ESPECIALLY adored our host, a very kind, friendly, and professional young man with glasses (we think his name was Brian). He was the best! So warm, nice, and funny, too! He even fit us in without a reservation. We meant to make one because all of our friends who come to Philly and live here recommend it, but we forgot! Brian to the rescue! Do not miss this unique Philly experience! ”
“ Visited on a Wednesday night and got a table as a walk in. I ordered a beach trip cocktail, it was refreshing and subtle and delicious. I loved all the cocktail names and creative ingredients! Rain was my server and she was very sweet and attentive. Also got the bao buns and shrimp cocktail, both were yummy! Def give this place a visit. Came for the good view and stayed for the good drinks and service! ”
“ If you’re coming here, come for the views and vibes. They play good music, the drinks are decent, and the view is absolutely gorgeous (especially at sunset). This isn’t a 5-star restaurant so don’t be disappointed when the food is adequate. That’s not what this place is known for. ”
“ We made reservations for my birthday. Flatbread was ok. But the drinks and service was great . The views couldn’t get any better . It’s worth a visit to kick back and have some drinks if you’re in Philly . ”
“ Hands down my favorite Philly rooftop bar. I recommend mostly for the views. Their food and drink honestly isn’t impressive (especially for the moderately expensive price) but the majority of their guests aren’t coming for that. I’m pleased with their willingness to make virgin drinks for those who can’t or choose not to drink alcohol. Super aesthetic and the service is good. ”
“ Assembly Rooftop Lounge came highly recommended as one of the best rooftops in Philly, and with its amazing location and skyline views... I can easily see why. Their drinks were amazing! I had a ‘Naked & Famous’ and ‘Drunk in Love’, which were all top tier. This would be an excellent date night spot, place to celebrate a birthday, girls night out, special dinner or cheeky drinks! The space is really versatile and gives you privacy, an intimate setting and a trendy spot all in the same space. ”
“ I came to the rooftop last night and I had amazing service. My waitress was super sweet and the food was very good. The views were stellar of course, but everything else was 10/10, would come back for sure! ”
“ I cannot recommend this lounge enough! The drinks are excellent, the food is delicious, and the view is absolutely beautiful. There is pop music playing, giving the lounge a very youthful and fun atmosphere. I will definitely be coming back here at some point! ”
