Rittenhouse is getting another reason to cancel your plans to go home after work.

Bar Cicci, the newest concept from acclaimed Philadelphia restaurateur Ellen Yin and High Street Hospitality Group, is coming to 1620 Sansom Street with a refreshingly simple idea: slow down, order a spritz, grab a few bites, and stay awhile.

We’ve got a new cocktail bar up on the docket for you, Philadelphia. Known Associates has opened in Washington Square West, bringing together creative cocktails and one of the city's most respected culinary teams under one roof. 

Known Associates isn't trying to transport you back to Prohibition. There are no secret passwords, hidden entrances, or over-the-top themes. Instead, the city's newest cocktail destination lets the drinks, food, and atmosphere do the talking, proving that creativity doesn't need to be gimmicky, and, because of that, Known Associates is already shaping up to be one of the openings cocktail lovers will be talking about all year.

Philadelphia's nightlife scene has had a bit of an explosiveness to it over the last decade, and now you've got two solid paths to choose from on a night out: the hoppy world of craft beer, or the polished world of craft cocktails. Both scenes are thriving in this city, but they attract very different crowds and price points. So how do you pick?
