Parx Casino officially opened a brand new indoor-outdoor beer garden on Friday, Jan. 25. Parx Beer Garden, 2999 Street Road, Bensalem, features more than 7,600-square-feet of space with 24 rotating craft drafts, 14 wine options, specialty cocktails, a full bar, and food from the chefs at the adjacent Liberty Bell Gastropub and Oliveto.

Overhead, a state-of-the-art glass roof retracts, letting in the sun rays and warmer temperatures when spring arrives. Head outside through the retractable glass walls that open out to two patios featuring lush greenery, modern furniture and 10-foot-long fire pits. For game day action, place your bets on the sports betting kiosks, while you catch the game on two giant LED TV walls.

“Parx Beer Garden is designed to be our next evolution and the perfect complement to our Xcite Center, X Lounge and two new restaurants, Liberty Bell Gastropub and Oliveto,” said Yeghiche Manoukian, executive vice president of Parx Casino. “With this bold new addition, we wanted to create a year-round, all-weather beer garden that was at the next level and something you can’t find anywhere else in the Philadelphia region. Raising a glass with an exceptional list of draft selections in a unique and cool beer garden setting is an amenity we are proud to offer. We aim to be a one stop shop for entertainment — and offer the total package for our customers.”

Parx Beer Garden is new construction and part of continued expansion efforts on property. The entrance is located through the dining room in Liberty Bell Gastropub. In the future, Parx Beer Garden will also be accessible through the state-of-the-art permanent Parx Sportsbook (set to open this summer).

Once inside, patrons can enjoy more than 7,600-square-feet of entertainment space — including 4,000-square-feet inside for the main bar and dining room, and more than 3,600-square-feet for the two outdoor patios. Seating will be available for 155 inside and 65 outside. The roof over the bar and interior dining tables features a custom built a retractable roof system and exterior glass walls are retractable and pull back to create more mixed use indoor-outdoor space. Outdoors, look for modern wooden features to match the interior, lush greenery, tables and chairs, and 10-foot-long fire pits.
