A sign of the summer: Center City Sips returns
The sun is shining, there’s (for once) low humidity and it’s starting to feel like summer here in Philly. The welcome arrival of warmer days and leisurely times is marked with the return of a hump day happy hour special. Every Wednesday evening from now until August 27 from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m., 80 city bars and restaurants bestow drink and appetizer specials through the citywide initiative, Center City Sips.
The sun is shining, there's (for once) low humidity and it's starting to feel like summer here in Philly. The welcome arrival of warmer days and leisurely times is marked with the return of a hump day happy hour special.
Every Wednesday evening from now until Aug. 27 from 5 to 7 p.m., 80 city bars and restaurants bestow drink and appetizer specials through Center City Sips.
Sippers can enjoy $5 cocktails, $4 wine, $3 beer and half-priced appetizers from any participating venue. This summer, Golia Vodka is the official sponsor, so you'll bet it'll be used in selected cocktails.
With a wide selection of food and drink options from the many bars and restaurants involved, any palate will be satiated.
The Parking Authority offers free meter parking in Center City after 5 p.m. Wednesdays, except for rush-hour zones, which are free after 6:30 p.m.
The boundaries are from the Delaware River to the Schuylkill River and from Bainbridge St. to Spring Garden St.
This only applies to meter enforcement; other violations, such as stopping prohibited, or other unauthorized parking violations are enforced
