Center City District Sips returns in June: Full list of participating bars and restaurants
PHILADELPHIA - Center City District Sips is back for summer, with dozens of Philadelphia bars and restaurants offering after-work specials every Wednesday from June 3 through August 26, according to Center City District.
What we know:
The official preview for CCD Sips will take place at The Patio, Dilworth Park’s new outdoor bar and restaurant, on Wednesday, May 27 from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. Admission is free for guests 21 and older.
The event will feature live DJ entertainment and showcase The Patio’s Sips menu, including $8 Hornitos Tequila cocktails, $7 Kim Crawford wine, $6 Truly Hard Seltzers and Sam Adams beer, $6 mocktails, and discounted appetizers.
"For more than two decades, CCD Sips has been woven into Center City's summer rhythm — a weekly invitation to stay after work, explore a new bar or restaurant, and make the kinds of connections that only happen when you stay a little longer," said Prema Katari Gupta, Center City District president and CEO.
The preview event gives attendees a first look at the newly expanded space just steps from City Hall.
