Center City Sips returns this summer. Here's a list of participating businesses

Sip sip, hooray! Center City District Sips returns for summer 2026.

Each week, from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m., beginning Wednesday, June 3, and continuing every Wednesday through August 26, dozens of local restaurants and bars invite Philadelphia workers and residents to an after-work experience.

Since launching in 2004, Sips has remained a consistent summertime favorite for everyone and has helped drive visitation and sales for participating businesses.

“For more than two decades, CCD Sips has been woven into Center City’s summer rhythm — a weekly invitation to stay after work, explore a new bar or restaurant, and make the kinds of connections that only happen when you stay a little longer,” Center City District President and CEO Prema Katari Gupta said in a news release.  

Dilworth Park’s new outdoor bar and restaurant, The Patio, will host the official Sips preview event on Wednesday, May 27, from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m.

The preview, which will be free for guests 21 and older, will highlight The Patio’s CCD Sips menu for the summer, which includes $8 Hornitos Tequila cocktails, $7 Kim Crawford wine, $6 Truly Hard Seltzers and Sam Adams beer, $6 mocktails and discounted appetizers.
