The Franklin Mortgage & Investment Company

Hidden behind an unmarked door, The Franklin Mortgage & Investment Company is a real life love story waiting to happen. With no shortage of plush seating, low lighting, and expertly made drinks, this cocktail bar is one of Philadelphia’s most romantic cocktail destinations. It’s quiet enough for conversation but still feels special, like you’re in on a secret together.

Almanac

Almanac is romance for people who like things just a little unconventional. The candlelit bar, with its curated seasonal ingredients, makes this place feel personal rather than performative. It’s a fantastic spot for couples who want depth in their drinks and a calm, thoughtful atmosphere where conversation flows easily. 

Andra Hem

If cozy Scandinavian vibes are your love language, Andra Hem is a dream. Low lighting, wood accents, and minimalist charm create an intimate, hushed atmosphere that feels warm without being stuffy. The cocktails are precise and beautiful, making this one of the most quietly romantic bars in the city. 

Static!

For couples who want romance with a little edge, Static! brings a cool, artful energy to Valentine’s Weekend. The industrial-meets-candlelit space feels intimate but alive, and the creative cocktail menu keeps things interesting.

No stuffy reservations. No pressure. Just great drinks while Philadelphia does romance on its own terms. And if you want to round out your Valentine’s Weekend with something a little more Valentine-y, check out our guide to Valentine’s Day Themed Pop-Ups and Special Nights at Philadelphia Bars.
