Andra Hem

"The chic minimalist design of this Scandinavian-inspired cocktail lounge in Rittenhouse, along with an inventive beverage program, has earned attention from locals and visitors alike. While you can’t go wrong with anything on the menu, the bartender’s choice martini is a fun and boozy game of chance." - Annemarie Dooling, Ernest Owens

"The sophisticated interior design and flawless beverage program of this Rittenhouse cocktail lounge with a Scandinavian flair have attracted national attention. Their inventive cocktails, such as their Gucci breakfast (yogurt-washed gin, banana liqueur, amaro, strawberry, and citrus) and spice world (rum, cachaca, mango, ginger, citrus, bird’s eye chili, and sumac), draw customers from all over." - Tierney Plumb, Ernest Owens

"This Swedish-style bar a few blocks from Rittenhouse is super sexy—it has turquoise walls and leather booths, and you’ll hear everything from Earth, Wind & Fire to N.E.R.D. while sipping on a cocktail of Söderblandning-infused whiskey, Swedish punsch, fresh beet juice, and fig. If you’re hungry, go for a cheese board with pear butter and pistachio-cherry praline, sunflower sprouts salad, and a crispy potato pancake. No matter which cocktail you order (the Jack Rose is our favorite), you’ll have a drink that’s blended beautifully while sitting in a place that makes you forget you’re in Center City." - candis mclean

"Andra Hem is a proper drinks lounge, pure and simple. The aesthetic is clean yet warm; formal yet approachable. The Lambhattan is a curious standout take on the classic American whiskey drink spiced up with lamb-washed bourbon. It sounds bizarre, yet works oh so well." - Brad Japhe

"There is nowhere else in Philly like Andra Hem. The chic Swedish cocktail lounge has a friendly guy waiting outside to bring you in, artwork of Scandinavian royalty next to framed beer cans, and perfectly blended drinks. Unlike most popular bars, this Rittenhouse hideaway is rarely crowded to the point where you hear a stranger’s take on pro wrestling while ordering a drink. Grab a crispy potato pancake, a massive cheese board, Swedish punsch, and forget about whatever it is you didn’t pack.  " - Candis Mclean, Alison Kessler
