What an unexpected and delightful discovery Andra Hem turned out to be. Though my time there was brief—a stop for a cocktail before dinner—it left a lasting impression. The ambiance is dark, intimate, and richly decorated, exuding an understated elegance. Seated at the bar, I was treated to a custom cocktail crafted with impeccable attention to my preferences by the bartender. The speakeasy vibe added a layer of intrigue that drew me in completely, leaving me eager to return and explore more of what this hidden gem has to offer.

My absolute favorite cocktail bar in the city. You won’t have a bad drink here and it’s beautiful inside. All of the bartenders are fantastic.

Stopped in unexpectedly after work with a couple of colleagues. We managed to get seats at the bar & the bartender was fantastic - personable & talented. The cocktails that we ordered from the menu were great, but even better was the one that he made me after hearing what I had liked and what I was looking for. What a pleasant surprise!

The drinks and small bites were the highlights here, complemented by a cool and trendy atmosphere. The space felt light and inviting, with aesthetic wallpaper that added to its charm.

We enjoyed cocktails, warm olives, and sugar-coated nuts, all beautifully presented. The bartender was incredibly friendly and attentive. I tried the ‘Stay Grassy, Philadelphia’—a unique cocktail that was clear, with a surprising kick of cacao and mint.

The prices were on the higher side, but I’d still highly recommend it. I’d definitely return for another visit

Stopped in for a quick drink and bite before dinner. Drinks were gorgeous and delicious, but (as expected) a bit pricey. We also tried their potato pancakes with caviar, which were the perfect small snack. Very intimate seating with good vibes and nice decor.

A stunning atmosphere and great vibes are what set Andra Hem apart. The bars and seating areas are dark, modern, cozy, and feel upscale in a way that makes visiting feel like a special occasion. Beyond that though, it's just... pretty alright. Our cocktails were solid though not outstanding. The food was nice and I don't have complaints about anything but in the end we left without a hugely strong impression of anything. And for a place that's reasonably pricey, there's a good chance we'll prefer other similar options in the area (a.bar, Enswell, etc).

Swedish inspired cocktail bar with surprisingly good bites to accompany the well-prepared drinks. They have a drink with aquavit which is a huge bonus.

They have some open face sandwiches that are nicely made, fun flavor contrasts. Also enjoyed the Caesar salad, it’s a great shareable size.

One of the best new cocktail bars to hit Center City in a long time. Dark, moody, elegant, this gem in Rittenhouse is destined to be reservations only soon. Get in while it's still easy. The food and drinks are well crafted and presented. The staff understands service. And the atmosphere is dynamic, dark, and at times, boisterous with conversation and people genuinely enjoying themselves. What a treasure.

In the heart of the city, where elegance gleams,
Lies Andra Hem, a realm of refined dreams.
A sanctuary where art and spirit entwine,
Crafting cocktails that are simply divine.

With deft hands they mix, a symphony’s grace,
Each potion a dance in a crystal embrace.
Botanicals whisper, while bitters ignite,
The essence of flavor in each sip's delight.

From the delicate sherry to bourbon so bold,
Their secrets unfold as the stories are told.
Garnished with care, and a touch of finesse,
In every fine drink, perfection they bless.

The glass becomes canvas, the shaker a brush,
In Andra Hem’s haven, a magical hush.
Each cocktail a masterpiece, crafted with flair,
A toast to their artistry, beyond compare.

Our group of friends had a few cocktails here before dinner! We sat upstairs in the 'bee' themed room. Our service was great! The cocktails were also good, but definitely not the best I've ever had. They were beautiful and tasted great, but I guess I expected a little more.

The place is beautiful, small and intimate. The drinks were a tad too strong for my taste but other than that service was great. Kevin is a great conversationalist and hilarious!
