11 Festive Philly Bars for the Holiday-Obsessed Among Us

For something swanky, hit up the Ritz-Carlton’s lobby bar which is always stylishly decorated for the holidays. Special cocktails include “the Buona Natale” (warm apple cider, amaro and cardamom), “the Rompope” (rum, mezcal crema, egg nog and cinnamon) and “the Holiday Sparkle” (rosemary-infused vodka, cranberry, lemon and candy cane garnish). But the real reason this spot is always on our list is thanks to their signature hot chocolate, served with all the fixings and a cookie on the side (make it boozy for an extra $6). Load up your cocoa with chocolate shavings, house-made marshmallows, crushed peppermint and more as you sit and take in the sparkle.
