Time is awesome. The bar is in the center of the space with seating around it. Also there is the fancy presentation of Absinthe. If you wanna put on your party shoes you can head upstairs for a DJ.
Kate JacobsMarch 1, 2013Everyone tends to go to the right-hand side but the left-hand side is better if you prefer cocktails, atmosphere, and live jazz to beer and TVs. (I know I may be in the minority in Philadelphia.)Upvoted Mar 28- Andy Napoleon HillMarch 30, 2018The open mic night on a Tuesday evening is amazing. Pair this with a huge selection of beers and whiskey makes Time one of the best places to go to in Philadelphia.
- Rachel ShifmanJuly 29, 2018The BEST whiskey bar in Philly. The selection is incredible and the staff are knowledgable and patient
Andy BurgessAugust 23, 2016I really like this bar. Dark, understated, but filled with great whisky, tasty beer and fine jazz.
Andre EversFebruary 27, 2013Had a gd night here! The Mac&Cheese with Brisket is a must try here! Make sure Tim takes care of you! Gd times, live bands, awesome selections, and attractive women!
The combo package - a bar, live music, and a club all in one place. Something for the whole family.
Joe CSeptember 2, 2014Excellent live music and DJs. Also, it seems like this place has the best of all worlds- hipster club meets classy whiskey bar. Great spot
Michele AlexisAugust 19, 2012Smooth live jazz music, absinthe fountains, eclectic whiskey selections. Pure romance! A hidden gem of Philly.
Sofia UzMay 8, 2016Great cozy place for jazz lovers, try whiskey flight! And since you'll get munchies after- order fries and mussels
Laurie SatranSeptember 20, 2011If you are a serious patron, you'll try the absinthe or ask Terry for his recommendation for an amazing single malt scotch. Then and only then, should you be worthy of dancing your a$$ off upstairs.- Ashish ShahDecember 27, 2016The dinner menu is amazing and so is the collection of whiskies. Pro tip: The dance floor is only open on weekends
Kandis KovalskySeptember 12, 2013Nicest staff/bartenders. Great live music. Fun happy hour. Fun during the summer at City Sips. Decent food---try the Mac n cheese.

Visit PhillyFebruary 4, 2011Climb the stairs to enter a Parisian-style salon to relax over the sounds of a DJ and the ritual of preparing absinthe from a two-or-four-person tower. Read more- Visit PhillyJanuary 12, 2012The third Tuesday of every month, Time presents The Erotic Literary Salon upstairs in the bar’s Parisian-style club. Doors open at 7:30 p.m., and readings begin at 8:00 p.m.
CarolJune 12, 2022Happy hour jazz! Certain drinks are $5, but when there’s jazz, there’s an additional charge of $5/pp. So you’re playing $10 really
EvaJune 17, 2011Wow tater tots were outta this world. They should be called potato pillow. Thy melt in your mouth! & they're taking them off the menu WTF!!!
BC 😎🎶May 2, 2011Three types of bars in one. Jazzy live music to the left, college bar atmosphere to the right and upstairs is clubby.
Barrett LaneAugust 28, 2012The Mini Mac with Pulled Pork is one of the best happy hour eats in town.
Michelle MichelleSeptember 24, 2014Champagne with grapefruit bitters and a sugar cube ☺️. If you go up stairs get ready to sweat!
Mrfantastic8000January 1, 2017Nice cozy vibe and good prices on drinks. Live Jazzy music was a real treat. Don't get there too late on nights when they have live music.. seats fill fast!
Elena PappasFebruary 20, 2012One of the very few places that has Rittenhouse Rye... And the music is always on point :-)

Chris AtencioJanuary 7, 2011Ask for Hillary. She's a delightful and knowledgeable server. Cute as a button to boot!
Lori ShapiroJanuary 18, 2012Josh is the BEST bartender in Philly and the open mic night is so fun on Tuesday's!!!
Come for the music & nightlife, stay for the libations & great food
The mussels and fries are great. Dipping the fries in the mussel sauce makes it
Open mics Tuesday are pretty, pretty good, to put it in the fine words of Larry David.
Order a Dark & Stormy during happy hour & tell Tim the bartender that DrinkPhilly sent you! Read our full review by tapping More Info! Read more
