The Best Cocktail Bars In Philly - Philadelphia - The Infatuation

"Fishtown’s R&D cocktail bar is a great place to pass the time while you’re waiting to get into Beddia and Kalaya, or if you just want to unload your story about your crazy ex over a crème brûlée and black cherry vodka drink. Outside of the rotating specialty cocktails, we’ve seen bartenders make up ramp-infused gin concoctions on the spot when a guest said they wanted something savory. They also have a small beer list with drafts from local breweries and bar snacks like silky hummus from Suraya. It’s a dark, mid-century modern space filled with two-tops, candles, and a lot of velvet—making it one of the better places to find the next special person in your life, who will hopefully be closer to sane." - candis mclean
