Feels like a movie set as in "fake". Too many spot lights and floating windows and fake walls trying to add some character to the open room, i honestly kept looking for the hidden camera because I thought this bar was built for some hidden reality tv show.Stools and misc leather chairs in the front that feel like aLiving room with a bar and 4 high tops in the back, and a builtin sofa at the very backDrinks are "craft cocktails" but other than the excessive shaking of the shakers, theres no craft at al to the drinksMy paloma had no salt on the glass, used fresh grapefruit juice and orange peel garnish...it was dessert level sweet with no tequila flavor. the three other cocktails we tried were just as disappointing.Started with the baked brie appetizer. Small puck of brie is covered in fig jam then wrapped in philo dough and baked, then served with a side of yellow mustard and crackers...so many things wrong with this dish! #1 wjere the bread. #2. The fog jam is too sweet after being baked, and it infises with the brie as it melts...there should be a bright fresh berry ontop of the philo crust after it bakes to offer contrast to the bries sweetness...overall, way too sweetafter a few disappointing rounds of overpriced "craft cocktails" Nd a bad app, we cut our losses and left. Will def. ot come back here.

We had some friends over this weekend and have a reservation at a Thai restaurant and needed to kill an hour. Someone recommended this place for a drink and here we are.Ambiances - top notch. Reminds me of a NY whiskey bar. Very cozy and semi formal kinda vibe. Mix of couches, sofa chairs and tables.Cocktails. Let's first start with the menu. I think they can get a lot more creative with their cocktail menu. For a place with such an awesome vibe, the munu was rather limited and lacked creativity.The Waldorf - I ordered this one. I thought it was good. The right blend of bourbon, bitters and absinthe. I hate when absinthe overpowers the drink, but this was greatTobacco Rd - very average and more on the sweater sideEl Diablo - I think this was terrible. Very overpowering on the ginger and has far too much crushed ice. Very disappointing .Overall only the ambiance and my drink gets this place to a 3. There are a lot more better options imo so I doubt I'm coming here again.

Been wanting to check out 1 Tippling Place for a long time now and have to say, I was pretty disappointed.They're going for the speakeasy, old timey vibe, which I get, but everything about this place looks so worn out. Some of the furniture really need to be replaced.The cocktails on the menu do not look fun and could have been cool maybe a decade ago. My husband and I came by for pre-dinner drinks and ordered a couple of cocktails. I had the Bombay Moon which had none of the Masala Chai flavors it advertised. My husband had the El Diablo, and the ginger in it overpowered the entire drink, but he didn't seem to mind it. Overall, the cocktails were strong and not enjoyable.

Sad to say that I revisited this place (under duress) after an initial negative experience 6 years ago, only to encounter an even more negative one. 2 friends from New Mexico were in Philly for a whirlwind visit and they insisted on going here. When I told them about my unpleasant initial visit, they both suggested I get over myself and stop depriving myself and them of the joys of Philadelphia. Ummm....okay.We arrived here about 30 minutes after opening. There were no customers at the bar and only 3 small groups seated and drinking. We stood at the entry way and were pointedly ignored for 10 minutes. We got the very broad hint and left. As we headed towards what I knew would be a satisfying happy hour at Veda, I asked my 2 visiting friends just exactly who was being deprived of the "joys" of Philadelphia. No answer. Hey 1 Tippling Place-fool me once, shame on you. Twice? You'll never see my face or money again. The passage of time has not been kind to this faux speakeasy. It needs a deep cleaning-upholstery, drapes, carpeting-and some new paint along with a staff attitude adjustment and a course in courtesy-for starters. P.S.-Both my visitors apologized to me before they left.

Came here after waiting a very long time at Ranstead Room on the waitlist (we finally gave up and checked out this cocktail bar instead)! We were seated automatically at 1 Tippling Place and we are so glad we ended up here instead. The atmosphere was very stylish, and our server was helpful and attentive. All of the drinks are made with housemade syrups! I tried the Dragon's Tear and the Lavender 75. The Dragon's Tear was very sweet for me (a bit too much honey for my taste), but still tasted fresh! I LOVED the Lavender 75, it was refreshing and light!

We stopped in early, before a nearby dinner reservation, so we were able to settle into a cozy sofa and enjoy a drink without a crowd. Great cocktail, excellent service. The staff seem to really care about what they do. Made me wish I lived on this side of town again so I could become a regular.My husband's fish house punch was great. I loved my "blackmail:" rum, lime, honey, blackberry, and sparkling water.The bar was closed for an event, so I made a vow to return soon to sit at the bar and get to know them a little better.

We were excited to finally be in the area when 1 Tippling Place was open! We couldn't resist stopping in for a cocktail (or 2)!The space is really cute and cozy, and the staff is super friendly! We stopped in fairly early on a slower night (Tuesdays), but it still started to pick up by the time we left.We sat at the bar and were really impressed by their extensive whisky/whiskey selection. Any time you see such an offering in PA, you know the establishment has put in the work to procure their spirits! I was really excited, but also completely overwhelmed, so I just stuck with cocktails.My wife and I both ordered an Old Fashioned to start. I went with a rye, and she went with bourbon. They use solid options for their well whiskeys, but you can sub in any other whiskey (at a cost, obviously). Both were wonderful! I followed with a "Wall Street," which was a Manhattan, made with their own barrel of Knob Creek rye, house vermouth, bitters. Also very good!Overall, we were sad that it took so long for us to stop in after 3 years of living in Philly, but we're glad we finally made the trip. Between the amazing whiskey/whisky options, the solid cocktail menu, the cozy space, and wonderful staff, there's no doubt we'll be back soon to imbibe!Cheers!

We found ourselves a block away on a Thursday night, so why not try this place I never heard of. My wife had it on her list, so we made a quick walk. Like a fool, I couldn't quite get in at first, looking at a sign on a wall and looking at a locked door. Then my wife says, it's right here. Oops... We get in and this is the first place to card us and check our vaccination cards, to ensure the names match up. We were told to sit anywhere and walked past a lot of sofas to get to the bar. A menu was already at our spot and I ordered the penicillin. Scotch, with ginger, honey, lemon. A smile, prettier than on our wedding day, crept onto my wife's face as she prepared to "customize" an order since she saw on Yelp you could do that. The bartender was incredibly friendly and said he'd try to do anything he could. He asked her precise questions about her flavor profile and said he had an idea. Soon our drinks were made and brought over to us. When at cocktail bars with mixologists, I prefer to sit at the bar, to watch the masters create. I took one sip of my drink and fell in love. May I just recommend if you really enjoy ginger, to order a ginger drink from here? It's among the best I've ever had. Chris, one of our cocktail creators, explained their process of juicing the ginger, rather than boiling. Being someone who boils ginger, I contemplated whether I should purchase a specific juicer to make this... My wife laughed and said she knows what she is getting me for my birthday... Ordering two more rounds of drinks, we were then presented with the bill at 10:00 PM. That's when they close, but we were going to request the check anyways. We'll be back and this place will be added into the rotation. We don't make it out this way as often, but a solid ending to our evening...

Went here for drinks with the girls and I will say the ambience is def giving vintage and nyc vibe. I honestly didn't know this place existed. The music was good but over powered by people talking. The seating is set up kinda weird with couches and chairs in little sections but it gives an intimated cocktails in the living room vibe and I like that. Customer service was not that great. We kept having to search for the waiter and I don't think it was that busy. The drinks itself were subpar. I think the drink menu was very limited didn't have much variety of alcohol so I ordered off menu and while they said they could make it, it was not great. And for the price point of these drinks I expect them to be strong and it was just not worth it. This place is great for a day night and the ambience but for the price the drinks and service could use improvement. The drinks
