Jet Wine Bar Springs Back Into Action With re-opening Of Vibrant Wine Garden

 
Outside in the verdant Jet Wine Garden, guests can sip on Jet Wine Bar’s expansive menu of both rare and popular wines from around the globe, spanning everything from natural to organic to boxed, as well as a selection of beer, cider, and housemade cocktails, while surrounded by the greenery that drapes the mural-clad walls and outdoor bar.
 
“We are so happy Spring is around the corner and we can once again open our garden,” said Sojourn Philly and Jet Wine Bar owner Jill Weber. “I’m excited to welcome our South Street and Center City neighbors back for warm nights in the garden, to relax in our friendly space and drink great wines – surrounded by so much great art!”
 
Wine fans are invited to sip their favorite wines, as well as a bevy of spring-minded cocktails, while cozied up in the inviting patio seating adjacent to the sprawling mural painted by Philadelphia muralist Carlos 'Calo' Rosa.
