New year, new you: Celebrate Dry January in Philadelphia

Philadelphia is ringing in the new year with a refreshing twist on post-holiday celebrations through Dry January, a month-long initiative encouraging a "new year, new you" approach with alcohol-free options. Ten of the city’s top bars and restaurants are participating, offering expanded menus of zero-proof cocktails, mocktails, and non-alcoholic beverages.

The centerpiece of the campaign is the Philadelphia Dry January Happy Hour, running throughout January. Participating venues across neighborhoods like Fishtown, Manayunk, Old City, and Center City will feature creative, alcohol-free drinks at discounted prices, making it easier than ever to embrace the initiative.
