"You know you’re in a good cocktail bar when it’s full of people asking the bartender for another. And that’s exactly what you’ll hear at Rittenhouse’s 1 Tippling Place. All of the cocktails are full of straightforward ingredients like bitters, honey, and vodka, so you won’t have to pretend to know the name of a 100-year-old rare campari on a date. There’s a long bar and a few candle-lit round tables just big enough for two. But there are a few couches if you come with friends for $15 ivy gimlets, or just need a place to stretch out after having one too many." - Candis R. McLean
