After two years of COVID-related cancellations, Center City District SIPS returns to Philadelphia bars and restaurants just as temps heat up in 2022.
Starting June 1, the popular happy hour tradition will be back with deals at participating locations every Wednesday from 4:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. through August 31, 2022.
“After a two-year interruption due to COVID-19, we are thrilled to bring back SIPS,” Michelle Shannon, VP of marketing & communications for Center City District, said in a news release. “It will have a huge economic impact on our bars and restaurants who have worked hard to stay open and keep their staffs employed."
It will also be putting less of a dent in the wallets of Philadelphians looking to have a good time.

Half-priced appetizers, $6 cocktails, $5 wine and $4 beer will be offered at select Center City businesses looking to draw people back downtown.
If you decide to stay for a meal after happy hour, participating restaurants are offering 15% off dinner.
As workers are returning to the office, Center City District says the promotion "is the perfect opportunity to reconnect with friends and coworkers while supporting some of the city’s best culinary and entertainment venues."
