Great drinks. The ambiance is very quaint although the taxidermy on the walls is daunting the drinks make up for the decor

Super cozy cocktail bar in Old City. The drinks we received were top notch and the service was great. I'd definitely return for sure.

best place for a date night! so cozy, dim lighting, perfect with their wide selection of cocktails! the staff is always so nice and food is good, but cocktails are definitely what you need to come for!

this is the best spot for cocktails in the entire city. the atmosphere is so moody and eccentric and perfect for a fun little date night. do yourself a favor and get a few soft pretzels for the table, they've been a hit every single time.

Great bar. Historic. Jazz band was playing to make the mood while enjoying a pomegranate martini. Which was delish, shaken & poured at the table.

Sassafras is an Old City establishment that embodies the "know who you are and execute flawlessly" motto. Something magical in the air here, and not just in the sexy bathroom! Walk in to a swanky yet still laid back atmosphere and crack open their menu, which is lovingly designed and clearly presented. I saw PALOMA in big bold face type and said "'nuff said." The ambient lighting and jazz guitar were the cherry on top of a great experience. I was there on a Sunday evening and it wasn't overly crowded. I didn't try any of the food items but the menu looks great. My paloma was spicy (big claps for the jalapeno infused simple) and bold. Serve staff and bartenders are fantastic, and I look forward to making this a regular stop any time I find myself in the neighborhood.

Every time I come here I just love to watch the bartenders do their magic. I feel like I step back into the 1920s when I come here. If you are looking for an old concoction of something newer this is the place to come. Sunday night jazz bands are really awesome.

This place has some of the best cocktails in Philly. It's pretty small so I would recommend keeping this to a date night or a small group (max four people). Their menu is separated by spirit, which shows how legit their drinks are. They're open late and usually have just one server + bartenders. I usually come after dinner somewhere in old city, but I need to try their food! They make a great pisco sour, one of my favorite drinks, but everything else from an aviation, corpse reviver and Mexican firing squad is top notch.

This restaurant doesn't have a lot of room. I highly recommend for a date if you want to be close and cozy. I would come back for drinks but not for food. I ordered the grilled cheese and tomato soup.

Excellent vibes with wonderful service. Jen, our server, recommended amazing drinks for both of us. A definite gem hidden in a corner in Philly

We had a server than was comically rude and aggressive. We tried to give her the benefit of that doubt being that our group have all worked service industry jobs but this lady’s attitude was truly on a new level. The bartender was very nice a we had great cocktails. Good price for a good martini

Whiskey sour was made perfectly , service was awesome and quick , restaurant/bar is beautiful with the old vibe felt like I was in the 20s and on Halloween I could feel the ghost. ?? j/k I had the high stakes burger and amazing yummy fries , I'm not sure what the sauce maybe garlic aioli but omg I will dip everything in that stuff.
