Philadelphians, stop what you’re doing—I just stumbled upon Cellar Dog Philly, and it’s giving everything. They’ve been open for about a month, so, okay, not new new, but new to me, and if it’s also new to you – let’s get into it. Cellar Dog Philly is a hangout making great use of the old Howl at the Moon stomping grounds on S. 15th Street. Come here to hang, to drink, to crush your friends at pool.

A jazzy time is to be had in Philadelphia – if you know where to look. Beyond the dive bars, dance clubs, and beer gardens lies a world where saxophones wail, bass lines walk, and that soulful piano pouring out honeyed melodies that speak to your very soul. These spots prove that live jazz can be cool, modern, and—dare we say it—even sexy. Check out where you can sway to the rhythms that make life in Philly oh so sweet.
