“Center City Sips…the official start to summer in Philly”

It’s that time of year again when every Wednesday, restaurants and bars across the city hold happy hour from 5-7 p.m. and offer $5 cocktails, $3 beers, and half-priced appetizer specials! Sips has turned into a social scene, with hot spots like Marathon Grill’s Patio at 19th & Market and Pagano’s Market & Bar, both with DJ’s and drinks flowing.

Sips makes working on Wednesday’s in Philly a little more bearable knowing the party’s just getting started after work. Featuring specials all over the city, your Wednesdays this summer will never be dull and you won’t break the bank!

The party continues even after happy hour ends. Sips After Dark, hosted by Rumor continues the deals after 9 p.m. New this year is Center City Sips style. Participating beauty and fashion retailers are offering in-store discounts every Wednesday before Sips. Retailers like Blo Out Dry Bar are offering 10% off blowouts from 12-4pm, and South Moon Under offering 20% off one item if you mention Center City Sips. These are just two of many style participants that will help you go from the office to happy hour seamlessly.
