Center City District SIPS Returns Tomorrow

Philadelphia’s favorite happy hour returns tomorrow evening for another season of summertime sippin’! Starting Wednesday June 5 through August 28, over 85 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.

Outdoor venues, intimate restaurants and beloved bars are all included in this year’s promotion, including newcomers Blume, Giuseppe & Sons and Iron Hill Brewery. Locally owned and operated cafés located in Dilworth Park, Sister Cities Park and Cret Park are also featured.
