No bar in Philadelphia sits higher. JG SkyHigh runs the lounge on the 60th floor of the Four Seasons, which puts the cocktail list above every other rooftop in the city.

JG SkyHigh is the Jean-Georges lounge on the 60th floor of the Four Seasons Hotel Philadelphia at Comcast Center, 1 North 19th Street in Philadelphia. It is the city's highest bar, pairing panoramic skyline views with Jean-Georges cooking, a full cocktail list, and live music. OpenTable and the Comcast Center campus site both list it as the all-day dining and lounge perched at the top of the tower, with more than 400 reviews on Yelp.
The pull is altitude and polish in equal measure. The room trades on the view first, then backs it with a kitchen and bar carrying the Jean-Georges name. Walk-ins are welcome at the bar and lounge when space allows, which keeps a famously high room a little more reachable than its address suggests.
The room
The lounge wraps the top of the tower in glass, so the skyline does most of the design work. The fit-out is elegant rather than loud, built for a slow drink and a long look across the city. Live music sets the tone on the busier nights, and the bar holds the centre of a space that runs from breakfast through to late evening.
What to order
Order an artful cocktail from the bar and a round of light bites to match the view, the format the room is built around. Expect Center City top-floor pricing, so treat it as an occasion rather than a casual round. The celebrated Sunday brunch is the daytime move if you want the view in full light. Skip the idea of a quick cheap drink, because the altitude sets the tab.
The crowd and best time to go
The crowd is couples marking an occasion, out-of-town visitors after the best view in the city, and after-work tables trading up for the night. The room runs latest Wednesday through Saturday evenings. Go at dusk and aim for a window seat, since the city lights coming on is the whole reason to be at the top of the tower.
What regulars say
The steady praise across reviews is the view and the service, with the height called unmatched anywhere else in the city. The common note is the price and that prime window tables need planning, so a reservation helps even though the bar takes walk-ins. For most visitors the panorama justifies the premium.
Who it is for
This is for the special occasion, the visitor chasing the skyline, and anyone working through Philadelphia rooftop bars who wants the highest one. Skip it if you want a budget round or a casual stool. For other elevated options, compare the views at Assembly Rooftop Lounge and the terrace at Attico Rooftop.
The verdict
JG SkyHigh wins on the one thing a rooftop is judged by, the view, and it sits higher than any rival in Philadelphia. A 60th-floor lounge, a Jean-Georges kitchen, and a walk-in bar make it the city's headline skyline drink. Go at sunset and book a window. Our rooftop bars guide covers the rest of the city.
