2025 Comeback
Sonny’s Cocktail Joint
When Sonny’s replaced confused eatery the Cambridge, it quickly became one of our favorite cocktail, well, joints in the city, in part because of its utter lack of pretension, its fun spirit, and one of the better back yards of any bar around. It closed in 2022 after a fire but reopened earlier this year magically better than ever, and not just because they serve a hot dog tower (!) next to classy but never fussy drinks. (Editor’s Note: After Best of Philly went to print, Sonny’s was forced to close again due to flooding. Please hurry back!)
