Philadelphia Streetery License Guide – Outdoor Dining Program

The Outdoor Dining Program requires restaurants to obtain a Streetery License to set up and operate a streetery. This type of license gives restaurants the privilege of operating barrier-protected outdoor dining in eligible parking spaces in front of their buildings.

The Philadelphia Streetery License Guide is meant for restaurant owners and provides an overview of the goals, regulations, Streetery License application process, operating standards, and removal responsibilities. The goal is for applicants to use the guide as an ongoing, user-friendly point of reference. We encourage thorough review of the guide, including the various site and design requirements, to determine if a streetery is feasible before making any investments.

The guide summarizes the key regulations that most restaurants will find helpful but is not a comprehensive resource for every restaurant or every situation. Business owners seeking clarifications can contact streetery@phila.gov. Residents are encouraged to call 3-1-1 to report outdoor dining activities that appear unsafe.
