"Philly has its share of flashy cocktail bars. And then there’s Grace and Proper in Bella Vista, a Portuguese-ish corner bar with paint-chipped ceilings, chalkboard menus, and a space so narrow it feels like everyone inside is sharing one mega conversation. You're bound to share a quarter of a wooden table with a stranger or someone you haven’t seen in years. The layout, plus the cava and piles of potato chips with salami draped on top, makes Grace and Proper rowdy and fun. The cocktails range from $12 to $18, and the wine and spirits list may be one of the longest in town. But it’s their incredible signature drinks, like the Good Giving & Game with saffron-infused gin, honey, and 24-karat gold leaf that sets this place apart." - candis mclean
