Philly Bar Named Among America's Best By Esquire

PHILADELPHIA — Philadelphia's food and drink scene continues to be lauded on a national level. With James Beard award-winning chefs and restaurants, places with the best burgers around, and more, it's no surprise Esquire named one of our bars among the best in the country.

Esquire recently published a list of "The Best Bars in America" for 2019.

And on that list of the 27 best was Philly's own Hop Sing Laundromat.

Here's what Esquire says about Hop Sing:

Yes, the strict door protocol at Hop Sing (after you ring a buzzer by an unmarked grate in Chinatown) seems designed to annoy. But we have been inside owner Lê’s hidden palace of bibulous delights, and we can assure you that it represents a gold standard of elegant sipping. What you’re having: The Henry “Box” Brown (named after a slave who escaped to freedom by mailing himself from Virginia to Philadelphia in a crate) is a miracle of freshly pressed red grape juice and aged rum. 1029 Race Street —J. G.

Have you been to Hop Sing? What was your experience like? Are there other Philly bars you think are better?
