Center City SIPS, Philly’s summer-long happy hour, kicks off its 20th-year anniversary in June
These are bars and restaurants offering happy hour discounts in Center City SIPS for summer 2024, kicking off in June.
When the glow from summer sunsets blankets William Penn atop City Hall, a rush of nine-to-fivers flock to the streets for one thing: Center City SIPS, the city’s most expansive and hotly debated happy hour.
This year marks two decades since the summerlong Wednesday night happy hour began, bringing thousands to Center City District over the years. For its 20th anniversary, SIPS is delivering discounts from more than 70 businesses, a social area in Dilworth Park with a roller rink, and the creation of its own craft beer in partnership with Broad Street Brewing.
Every Wednesday, 5 p.m. to 7 p.m., from June 5 through Aug. 28, many venues will be offering $7 cocktails, $6 wine, $5 beers, and half-off appetizers. Some restaurants will take 15% off your dinner bill after 7 p.m.
A free preview party will take place May 22 from 5 p.m.-7 p.m. at Dilworth Park, where SIPS patrons will enjoy live DJs, giveaways, and booths from Hornitos Tequila and Broad Street Brewing, including the reveal of Broad Street Brewing’s SIPS Summer Splash, a Mexican-style lager with lime, available throughout the summer at Dilworth Park’s Air Grille.
The official kickoff of the SIPS season is June 5, with the Rothman Orthopaedics Roller Rink at Dilworth Park open exclusively for SIPS patrons for the first three weeks of the happy hour.
