Think you’ve hit every happy hour worth your hangover? Try this on for size: Philadelphia’s bar scene is constantly changing, and lately, a new (or maybe just new to you) crop of spots has been popping up with enough personality to shake up your weekend routine. These bars are fresh, fun, and bringing new energy to the city’s already stacked lineup.

Here’s what’s opening (or just opened) that deserves a spot on your “Where we going tonight?” group text:

The Lodge

This rustic-y chic hideout is your new après-ski fantasy, minus the snow. Decked out with cozy cabin vibes fireplace seating, inventive cocktails, and comfort food classics (footlong mozzarella stick, anyone?), The Lodge is perfect for pretending you're somewhere in the mountains without all the trekking.

Newsroom Philly 

What if your favorite speakeasy lived in a vintage pressroom? Newsroom Philly turns that fantasy into an experience with understated decor, Japanese and Latin inspired menus, and headline-worthy cocktails.
