It’s almost that time of the year! With the warmer weather here, Philadelphians are enjoying the outdoors from beer gardens to festivals abound. And now, Philly’s favorite happy hour, Center City District SIPS is back!
Center City District SIPS
Indeed, the summer is about to sizzle! Specifically, this summer marks the 20th anniversary of Philadelphia’s favorite happy hour, Center City Districts SIPS returns.
Beginning June 5 and continuing every Wednesday through August 28, dozens of bars and restaurants will take part in the tradition by offering exclusive discounts found only in Center City.
“For the last twenty years, SIPS has been a must-do event for many young professionals working and living in Center City” said Prema Katari Gupta, President and CEO of the Center City District in an official press release. “We now recognize that in-person events and socialization are more important than ever and we are thrilled to continue this iconic event.”
Every week from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m., dozens of venues will serve $7 cocktails, including specials made with Hornitos® Tequila, $6 wine, $5 beer and half-price appetizers. After 7 p.m., select locations will provide 15% off dinner.
