Hop Sing in Chinatown is one of the coolest bars in Philly, and it makes its own rules—no phone usage, and don’t be an asshole. The walls are covered in velvety red wallpaper and there are old candelabras on every table that look like they’re about to come to life, a la Beauty And The Beast. It’s not a place to head to with a large group—it’s more of a pick-your-date’s-brain kind of bar where you can have beautifully mixed drinks with Vietnamese coffee and flower-infused gin. The cash-only spot gets busy late at night, so stopping by around 5pm is probably your best bet if you want a seat at a table.
