Let's dive into the festive offerings that make Harry’s Jingle Bar a must-visit destination for creating cherished memories during this magical time of the year.

Okay, you guys. It’s January 17th. Those of us doing Dry January—congrats, we’ve hit the halfway point! It’s full steam ahead until February 1st, which, BTW, falls on a Saturday (the universe has our back). But here’s the thing: just because you’re skipping the booze doesn’t mean you have to skip the fun. Philadelphia’s nightlife scene is packed with mocktails so good, you might just keep ordering them when February rolls around.

When you think of Old City, iconic cobblestone streets and historic landmarks may come to mind—but did you know it’s also home to some of Philly’s best nightlife? Beyond the well-known bars, Old City offers unique, under-the-radar spots that mix live music, themed cocktails, and dance floors that come alive at night. If you’re ready to shake up your usual plans, here’s where you need to go:

Philadelphia takes its sports seriously—whether it’s the Eagles, Sixers, Phillies, or Flyers, game day is a cross city event. And while watching from your couch is fine, nothing beats the energy of a packed sports bar filled with cheering fans and cold drinks. Here’s a guide to Philly sports bars that go above and beyond to make every game feel like the Superbowl.

It’s January, and you’ve probably hit that point where it’s so cold outside that all you want is a night out without  freezing your face off. It’s time to hit a spot with a cozy fireplace! Philadelphia’s got some incredible spots where you can sip on a cocktail, warm up by the fire, and pretend it’s not miserable outside. Here are 5 fireside bars to stop into when you want your drink with a big side of warmth.

Think you’ve seen all Philly’s nightlife has to offer? Think again. The city’s best-kept secrets aren’t above ground—they’re underground. Beneath the busy streets, you’ll find some of the coolest spots, from basement bars to live music venues and everything in between. 

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.

Vinyl listening is ritualistic. The tangibility of sliding a record from its sleeve, the soft and exact placement of the needle, the sound of that first crackle as the music starts to flow—​​ hearing every layer, every imperfection, every note the artist intended. It’s almost a form of escapism that takes you out of the digital noise and into something richer, warmer, and so much more deliberate.

In Philadelphia, where music runs deep in our veins, vinyl is alive and well.

The best way to do brunch is to make it into an all day affair - am I right or am I right? For those who love to keep the party going long after the last bloody mary, and as day swaps places with night, these spots easily transition from sleepy morning vibes to late-night tomfoolery. We’re here for the spiked coffee, DJ sets, and even the rooftop cocktails (heated, of course), and these five Philly favorites know how to take brunch to the next level.

Deck the halls and stash the tinsel—this holiday season, Philadelphia's pop-up bars are turning the city into a veritable winter wonderland for those thirsty for festive cheer. The glittering lights, a few thematic cocktails, a cozy atmosphere where even Scrooge would feel merry – I think they call this “The Most Wonderful Time of Year”? You wouldn’t be too hard-pressed to see why in a city that loves this holiday as much as Philadelphia does.  

One of the most beautiful phrases in the English language might have to be, "Eat, drink, and be merry". Maybe you’re setting up an office holiday bash, meeting up with old friends, or just need a break from seasonal family bickering. Take a look through these great Philadelphia bars and find the perfect place to clink glasses and swap stories.
