Ranstead Room is bar/speakeasy that's behind a nondescript door with solid cocktails and shares space adjacent to El Rey and is also part of the Stephen Starr empire of restaurants in Philadelphia.  The space isn't large but is good for intimate outings over cocktails.

After happy hour at The Bards and some food and beer/wine at Shake Shack the evening concluded at El Rey.  The bar there offers very strong and delicious margaritas along with sangria, some cocktails, and beer.

After SIPs at Perch Pub I stopped by El Rey for a little dinner with two of my friends.  Guac with chips were ordered along with some of the enchiladas.  Specifically the Beef Short Rib and the Chicken Enchiladas.  They were quite yummy.  I havne't been to El Rey in a few years and its just as I remembered it.  Its a Steven Starr Restaurant but this one purposefully has a more old school less flashy vibe.  The bartenders and waitresses were quite friendly and chatty.  They let us grab a few drinks at the bar while we waited and timed it perfectly when our table was ready.  Nothing like ending the night with some decent food after a SIPs Wednesday.  If you're in the Center City area/ Rittenhouse area, stop by for some low key mexican.
