Start your weekend off stylishly at the PMA's Martinis on the Portico. The East Terrace lends one of the most stunning views of the city skyline, made all the more gratifying by delicious martinis and food, live music and art. (Photo courtesy PMA)

Awesome happy hour alert: Martinis On The Portico summer Friday evening happy hour series has returned to the Philadelphia Museum of Art as an added bonus to the popular year-round Art After 5 programming. It all starts tonight.

Enjoy a few Friday evening cocktails and bites catered by Stephen Starr with what is probably the most scenic view of any happy hour in the city, plus after-hours access to the world-renowned museum’s art collection.

It’s a great chance to experience the museum with a more casual vibe, as staff members wear T-shirts and low-key gallery tours are offered at no additional charge.

Check out the full drink menu below, and a music schedule for the coming months online. Tonight’s kick-off of Martinis on the Portico is a Cinco de Mayo Party, featuring Latin music.
