Center City Sips Starts Up Soon

Summer doesn’t officially begin for a few more weeks, but Philly’s famous humidity has already made itself at home (seriously, highs in the 90s? Ouch). Luckily, Center City District Sips Happy Hours start up again next Wednesday, June 2nd to help you cool down after work. The Sips happy hours will then run every Wednesday from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. through August 25th, offering $4 cocktails, $3 wins, $2 beers, and half-price appetizers at more than 70 places through Center City. Some bars and restaurants are also offering a 15% dinner discount to patrons who stick around after 7:00 p.m. And, you should tote your camera along to Sips this summer—submit snapshots of you and your friends at Sips to the CCD Sips Happy Hour Photo Contest at photo@centercityphila.org for a chance to win $200 in Center City District Restaurant Week gift certificates. Click through for a list of participating bars and restaurants, or visit the CCD site for more information.
