The Library Bar at The Rittenhouse Hotel A Philadelphia Destination

The Library Bar at The Rittenhouse Hotel has been rated #1 (out of twelve) in UWISHUNU Philadelphia’s recent list of wintertime cocktail destinations. Not to toot our own horn, but we think The Library Bar should also hold the #1 spot for ambiance. TLP designed the interior lighting for multiple featured locations within The Rittenhouse Hotel including The Library Bar. The design team was led by BLT Architects.

We are excited for our client, The Rittenhouse Hotel, that they continue to receive recognition for their renovations and overall visitor experience.

12 Awesome Bars for Wintertime Cocktails in Philadelphia

UWISHUNU Philadelphia | January 5, 2016

January drinking has a different purpose than July drinking — it’s less about party-time refreshment and more about cozy indulgence.

It’s about ducking out of the frosty night and finding a dimly lit corner booth or a spot in front of the fireplace; sipping a leisurely cocktail and huddling around good conversation.

Here are some of the city’s best places to stop in for a long winter night’s drink.

1. The Library Bar at The Rittenhouse Hotel


Slip off the street and into the bookish enclave of this swank hotel bar, which sometimes offers live music. This is the place to go for 25-year-old single malt whiskeys, expert Sazeracs and fine champagnes.
Where: The Library Bar at The Rittenhouse Hotel, 210 W. Rittenhouse Square
