Make time for Time


Time is a special bar in Philadelphia that truly offers something for everyone. It is split into three sections, which include a dining room with a large bar, a whiskey bar and taproom, and the lounge on the second floor that hosts a DJ every Friday and Saturday night. The dining room’s large bar offers a classy experience to dine, snack, and sip on cocktails. It often offers live music for guest’s entertainment. The whiskey bar and tap room offers a more lively scene that would be perfect to watch the big game while imbibing on cocktails and bourbon with friends.

Happy hour at Time is served from 5 PM to 7 PM every day of the week with live jazz at 6 PM on Thursday- Saturday. The drink specials include $3 Yards Thomas Jefferson Ale Draft, $1 off all other drafts, $5 Dark and Stormys, Presbyterians and Champagne Cocktails. The bar bite offerings are $3 mini French fries or onion rings, $5 mini mac and cheese, and a $6 crostini of the day. My personal favorites are the champagne cocktails and the mac and cheese to indulge on, although all of the beverages and bites are mouth watering.

The venue’s Dark and Stormy is comprised of Gosling’s dark rum, Jamaican ginger beer, and a lime. The Presbyterian consists of Jim Beam rye, ginger ale, and bitters.  There are several champagne cocktails that are sure to get you feeling bubbly. The mac and cheese is made with smoked brisket, cavatelli, white cheddar and fontina cheeses. Any of the crostini’s offered are sure to take your taste buds on a ride!

“The Foobooz Top 50 Bars for 2012” included Time, and the voters were certainly not wrong. It can cater to almost any scene that a consumer is looking for because of its diversity and options. If you’re looking to have a quiet and relaxing drink alone or with a small group, the dining room with its center bar is the place for you. If you’re looking for a more animated and bustling scene, the whiskey bar is perfect for a group of friends or coworkers to come together. I have enjoyed the bar in all of its capacities and have never been dissatisfied.

Time is located at 1315 Sansom Street in Philadelphia. The restaurant/ bar can be reached at 215.985.4800 or at http://www.timerestaurant.net/
