Catching up with the lack of blog postings.  Have no fear readers, I have been dining out and checking restaurants and bars.  

From June 2015 during sips:  Aldine.  Their sips offerings were nice cocktails paired with a small selection of appetizers/small plates.

Situated atop the Bell Atlantic Tower in Philadelphia is Top of the Tower.  Normally reserved for weddings, corporate events, and social events, Top of the Tower is open for Center City Sips on Wednesdays from 5-7pm.  The highlight of this venue is the view.  Standard sips deals can be had indoors along with decent appetizer specials.  Everyone who has an opportunity should go to at least one Center City Sips event in the summer here just for the view.

Perch Pub - Center City Sips

Philadelphia's Center City Sips has been in full swing for a few weeks now and this week I ended up back at Perch Pub.

Having run around the city in previous weeks we settled on Perch Pub mainly for its beer selection.  The specials for sips have been rather bland and generic at most of the venues.  As nice as it is to get a $3 dollar miller high life or Yeungleung that's hardly enough reason for me to trek in.

Perch Pub offers half price all drafts, 4 dollar house wines, and selected 5 dollar mixed drinks/cocktails which I already forget as I went there for the beer.  There is a rotating draft selection that is always quite nice and varied.

Lastly, there's a back room area with seating with a pool table if the bar gets too crowded.  This is handy for meeting more than a few people out for sips.

Foodwise, the specials include half price fried mozzarella and deviled eggs.  Deviled eggs at a bar is a litlte offputting and weird but I've tried them and they're not bad, just not necessarily something I would think to order with my drinks.

There is a limited menu and one of their stars is their burger along with sides of fries and onion rings.  This time amongst my party we settled with mozz, onion rings, and a burger.  Pictures follow below.

Overall, I'd say Perch Pub is definitely one of my sips beer stables and generally a bar I would go to for their selection of quality draft beers.
