Cocktail parties give you the chance to hold a more upscale event in fine clothes with your favorite people.

Waterfront cocktail party venues in Philadelphia
As a major riverside city, Philadelphia's waterfront venues are spectacular. Historic architecture, urban parks, and the soft sound of water lapping the shoreline are the perfect accompaniment to a cocktail party. Philly's waterfront cocktail party venues include historic spaces like Moshulu, the world's oldest square-rigged sailing vessel still afloat. You can take your cocktail party down the Delaware River, socializing and enjoying the night as Philadelphia's glittering lights waft by. Pair your cocktails with award-winning takes on New American cuisine!
Philadelphia has only one waterfront hotel; the Hilton Philadelphia at Penn's Landing. It is also one of the most elegant waterfront cocktail venues in town, with two ballrooms and 24,000 square feet of space for special events. The Hilton Philadelphia also offers cocktails and seafood at their on-site restaurant: Keating’s Rope & Anchor Bar + Kitchen. Whether you're drinking and enjoying fine cuisine in the dining hall or partying in the ballroom, waterfront views of the Delaware River are never far away.
Chic cocktail party venues in Philadelphia
If you're looking to throw your own chic cocktail event, consider renting a loft, a trendy penthouse, vacation home, condo, or other party space. You'll find the best venues in downtown Philadelphia, where you can sip choice cocktails with friends while admiring the skyscrapers out of the window.
One of the most sought-after event venues in town is the Philadelphia Museum of Art. When booking the museum you'll have 17th century tapestries gracing a grand balcony, the Rodin Museum's garden full of statues, and the atrium of the Art Deco building to explore. The Philadelphia Museum of Art has hosted cocktail parties, weddings, corporate events, and other gatherings for decades!
