Craft Cocktails Can Be Non-Alcoholic At this Summer Happy Hour
Summer in Philly brings some of the best weekly deals on your favorite cocktails. SIPS in Center City is a popular Wednesday happy hour. There's also Passyunk Passegiata on Thursdays in East Passyunk, and Fishtown Taps offers drink discounts on Tuesdays. But you don’t have to drink alcohol to have fun. We’re bringing back this conversation with Nikki Graziano, Bar Palmina's owner and bartender, about the drinks she’s shaking up and why she opened a nonalcoholic bar in Philly.
This episode mentions sexual assault and suicide, so please take care when listening. If you or anyone you know is struggling with thoughts of suicide, you can always call the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline at 988. There's help available 24 hours a day.
