Featuring great craft cocktails, reasonably priced, in a swanky speakeasy room. I am sure there are some folks who will enjoy the drama of getting in, but in the end they are $14 AMAZING (yes amazing drinks!) served in a very interesting dark room.Ī visit to the Hop Sing Laundromat was one of the highlights of my recent trip to Philly. This is the place you tell people about and relay its quirkiness. I love an experience as much as the next so maybe this is for tourists? but this is not the place to unwind after a day at work. I just do not need the hassle when there are many fabulous bars in the city where they do not take your ID (I still do not know what he was doing with my ID.I am 42 with grey hair) and seat you right away with happy hour drinks and food. It is hard to rate this place since it is really quite good, but I cannot honestly recommend it nor will I ever go there again.

If you have read the other reviews you will know there is a gate and a man who solemnly comes to the gate, talks to you through the gate, takes your ID, leaves and then returns 5 minutes later, and in a soft spoken voice allows you to come through the gate (ps do not touch the gate.that is a huge problem). Depending on what you are interested in you might find this a magical place or close to your last experience with TSA.
