Center City District SIPS Ends August 28

It's the last month of Philadelphia's favorite happy hour! On Wednesdays through August 28, over 80 Center City District SIPS locations will offer a variety of $6 EFFEN Vodka cocktails, $5 wine, $4 beer and half-priced appetizers from 5 p.m.-7 p.m. Stay after SIPS at participating locations and get 15% off dinner.

You can't distill SIPS down to just one element. It's more than what you drink, where you are and who you're with. It's everything that makes SIPS the unmissable, unforgettable event of the summer. Every sip has a story, and we can't wait to hear yours.

Share your favorite event photos on Instagram with @CCDSIPS and #CCDSIPS for a chance to win $200 in gift cards to SIPS locations. To view all SIPS participants, visit CCDSIPS.com, or follow @CCDSIPS on Twitter.
