But for single guys, it can be a really challenging place to find where the best women are hiding. For a city that is so full of life, it may be shocking to hear that fewer and fewer singles are interacting in person, even though they are out and about. Many of the women I regularly connect with, are less excited about meeting a stranger on an app for a night out but will drop everything for some good ambience, a cocktail or mocktail, opportunity to catch up with friends and maybe even land a great date YOU!
Plus, Philly is a city whose happy hour scene is celebrated and always growing! Many of the below have happy hour between pm, Monday through Friday, with a vibrant crowd that sticks around well after the specials have ended. Side note, some even have happy hour 7-days a week…the possibilities are endless. Even if you work a busy , there are no excuses! The Goat As their website boasts, The Goat Rittenhouse is a neighborhood bar focusing on approachable modern classic food and drinks.
And approachable, it is. From the ambience, to the people, it really is just good vibes. Pro tip - there are typically groups of women hanging by the bar during the work week. So come for a sporting game but stay for good conversation, bites, and a connection! Loch Bar Now, Loch Bar is one of my favorites on this list. Brand new to the vibrant Avenue of the Arts, women flock to Loch Bar for their fresh seafood, unmatched happy hour menu, and convenient location pre-theater show.
Just across the street from the Kimmel center, I myself have met dozens of women here and, alas, many single! On top of that, Loch Bar has live music every night of the week from their speakeasy style bar. A little live music does wonders to boost romance and ambience. Fun matchmaker fact - attraction often starts between the ears. Located in the very happening 13th street, their ambience, warm staff, and incredible food, make this a go-to place for single women after a busy work day.
Vinyl Viny is a live music venue which also offers brunch, happy hour, and a busy dinner scene. Vinyl tends to get especially busy on the weekends, so choose a day of the week that best suits you! They have a great brunch buffet, awesome happy hour and cocktail bar, and one of the major highlights - an incredible lounge and two-lane bowling alley beneath the main room! For men who like to do something a little more interactive - Harp and Crown is it!
