The Best Cocktail Bars In Philly - Philadelphia - The Infatuation

"Sassafras looks like the living room of an old, expensive, and definitely haunted house, but in a romantic way (ghosts need love, too). Expect dim lighting, candles on all six tables, and a large selection of cocktails that range from fruity and light to spirit-forward with flaming sugar cubes. You’ll see work friends or sugar daddies at the bar dangling keys to a Benz in one hand and cupping a well-made Old Fashioned in another. On the weekends, it can get as packed as an office elevator. But for a bar where the most expensive drink is $13, it’s worth sharing elbow space with a stranger.  And if you're looking for a bit more of a scene, go upstairs to their fun vinyl listening bar, 48 Record Bar." - candis mclean
