Sassafras Bar & Restaurant

An absolute gem of the Old City, Sassafras has been a landmark since its inception over 35 years ago! "The Grand Dame" of Philly's local watering holes, as it calls itself, is located on 2nd Street, quite close to the US Custom Office. The classic old bar exudes a sophisticated and elegant vibe. With a majority of well-dressed denizens, it welcomes many tourists - there's a lot of friendly banter, interesting conversations, laughter and an all 'round good vibe at this place. Timeless and approachable, Sassafras offers splendid cuisine along with a fantastic selection of draft beers and stellar cocktails. The old-world charm is only heightened during one of their live jazz performances that are hosted thrice a week. Definitely worth a visit.
