"This emerging bar in Old City is ambitious with their take on the spritz. The “Triple A” is 48 Record Bar’s answer to reimagining the classic with their Aperol, Blume Marillen Apricot, Amaretto Disaronno, lemon, grapefruit, orange blossom, and champagne." - Ernest Owens
"48 Record Bar is a cocktail bar and vinyl listening room above Sassafras in Old City. The two spots are run by the same team, but the experiences feel distinct. Downstairs, you’ll find people drinking penicillins and flirting like their midlife crises depend on it. Upstairs is like a friend’s swanky house party. Everyone's lounging on a velvet couch near a fireplace and listening to Wu-Tang Clan or Lou Reed. Come see what they have playing and drink a well-made cocktail (we like the Bond Girl and Red Ink)." - candis mclean
