Center City District Sips is on hold this year due to our current lockdown situation, but Philadelphia bars in Center City are still celebrating summer by offering delicious cocktails to go. Over 50 restaurants throughout the Center City limits are offering pre-made cocktails in special take out containers that you can pick up to enjoy elsewhere, which you can order by phone or just walk up to buy them (though it's recommended to call ahead to confirm).

Offerings include "Mezcal-ritas" from a.bar with house-made arbol chile syrup, “East Sides" with fresh cucumber, mint, and lime from Charlie was a sinner, special boozy adult "Freeze Pops" from Tradesman's, and many more.

Ordering cocktails to go or food takeout is a great and safe way to support local businesses while they're still not allowed to be in full operation, so take a look at their list and stock up on some refreshing mixed drinks that will make this summer just a little bit cooler. Pop over to Center City District's website to see all the offerings here.

Center City District Cocktails To-Go is brought to you by Jim Beam Black and Bud Light. Stay safe by following CDC guidelines and all state and city requirements when visiting.
