Overview

Groundswell transformed what was a nondescript garden alongside the Dow Building’s 6th Street frontage for Philadelphia restaurateur, Michael Schulson, into a lively gathering place for the city.

Heavy steel girders arose amidst shady trees, delicate flowers, and lush shrubbery, setting the atmosphere for this American style beer garden. But visitors don’t have to sit at the traditional long table to drink their beers—they can also relax in Adirondack chairs amid fire pits and table tennis in the distinct atmosphere of American summer.
