Sassafras is Olde City Philadelphia all the way with the signature drinks. The waiters and waitresses are all dressed swanky and the food is delicious. The Menu changes with the times and still stays classic like Restaurant & Bar. Candlelit tables and all the old finishings in the whole place. This place is 1st class all the way and reasonably priced.

It absolutely pains me to leave this review because I want to gate keep this place so badly but I have no choice but to leave them 5 stars. These are the best cocktails in the city. The vibes are immaculate— and the staff? 10/10 service every single time (minus that time I tried to call to see if they did takeout.) They currently have a pornstar martini on special and no lie, it is the best in Philly and probably the second best I have had in the US. If you are having a hard time deciding between places, put the other one out of you mind and come here.

The food was pretty good. Cocktail menu established and we're medium+ quality. Service couldn't have possibly wanted to be there. Never had someone be so standoffish. We had expected to go back a few nights but after that we decided to choose something else.

The worst old fashioned I’ve ever had. Server was bothered and defensive when we were asking him questions about drinks they could make that aren’t on the menu. Never coming back, and I used to be a big fan of this place.

This was a great little place, seemingly popular with the locals and brimming with fun house cocktails to explore. Had a fabulous time and left content.

I visited on a rainy Wednesday afternoon and enjoyed delicious wine, very relaxed atmosphere and great bartender service. The bathroom was exceptionally clean. I hear there is a vinyl collection upstairs. Next time!

Just to illustrate how incredible the food and drinks are- I was broken up with at Sassafras (guy totally broke my heart), and I STILL come back whenever I get the chance, haha. I’m from out of town and occasionally work for a couple weeks a year in Philly, and I absolutely love Sassafras. I go out of my way to have at least one meal here when I’m in town. The atmosphere is incredible- especially for interior design/architecture junkies- the mosaic floor and tile work is lovely, vintage cocktails are beautifully made, and the food is unique and delicious. I couldn’t recommend it strongly enough.
Cool little jazz bar with great cocktails and fun vibes.
