How perfectly Philly: modern cocktails served up in an old-fashioned tin-ceiling taproom. At Chick’s Caf, you’ll find mixologist Katie Loeb behind the bar — and behind the fresh and flavorful cocktail menu. Her house-made herb infusions and seasonal fruit syrups star in standout summer refreshers like the Provenal martini, a gin-based number laced with lavender syrup and grapefruit bitters, and the Front Stoop lemonade, spiked with gin and fragrant with Thai basil syrup.
