Irwin's Upstairs — South Philadelphia Micro Wedding Venue

Irwin's Upstairs is a South Philadelphia micro wedding venue on the 8th floor of the historic Bok Building, offering sweeping skyline views alongside a modern Sicilian menu from Chef Michael Vincent Ferreri. Formerly of the celebrated Res Ipsa Cafe, Ferreri brought his exec chef and full floor staff south to reopen at Irwin's, carrying over the same handmade pasta and whole fish preparations that earned Esquire's Best New Restaurants in America honor in the restaurant's first year and Bon Appetit's Top 10 Best New Restaurants the following year. The rooftop setting, combined with Irwin's natural wine list, creates a genuinely distinctive backdrop for an intimate celebration.
