"When: Daily, 4-6pm The Deal: $3 Mystery Beer, $7 Wine, $8 Cocktails, And $5 Snacks It's not so surprising this American restaurant in Rittenhouse has good Happy Hour sliders, because we're generally fans of their work between buns. Go straight for an Old Fashioned (one of their specialties), the fried shrimp po’ boy, hot and spicy chicken, and pulled pork sliders." - candis mclean
"The Deal: $40 Dinner If you’re in the mood for fried pickles and burgers, Village Whiskey will be your Camelot. You can basically design your own burger with whatever toppings you'd like. The deal also includes one cocktail. (Most CCRW menus don't.)" - candis mclean
"Burgers at this Jose Garces restaurant are tall, proud, and almost a little daunting. In a city where truly pricy splurge burgers are a rare sight, the notorious Whiskey King stands out: Topped with blue cheese, bacon, maple-bourbon glazed onions, and foie gras, it carries a $27 price tag and has accumulated no small number of ardent fans." - Ernest Owens
"Village Whiskey is in Rittenhouse Square so it's right in the middle of the SIPS madness. It's also a place that gets crowded when prices aren't slashed for a few hours. So plan to head here early if you want a ton of chicken or pork sliders. Plus, they make a good old fashioned, and Kentucky mules that you can pair with both for as long as you're drinking and stomach stamina lasts. " - candis mclean
"You come to Village Whiskey in Center City to drink some sort of dark liquor and eat a lot of meat. Of the five burgers, the eight-ounce Village Burger with bibb lettuce and thousand island is the showstopper. It's thick, incredibly juicy, and the toppings-to-meat ratio ensures there's no bun sliding whatsoever. Plus, you can go for some add-ons like cheddar, applewood smoked bacon, or a mound of crispy duck fat fries for a couple extra dollars. " - Candis Mclean, Alison Kessler
