If plush couches, premium spirits and the occasional art show are your things, then lounges in Philadelphia are the places to be. From subdued martini lounges to intimate members-only clubs, Philly is filled with seductive nooks where you can pour yourself onto a leather sofa, strike some salaciously languid pose and settle into the beautiful surroundings. Places like Old City’s 32 Degrees boast a distinct European vibe, while Bamboo Lounge features Asian décor, replete with a bamboo ceiling. For a slightly different experience, and one that kicks the ultra-chic ambiance right out the door, 105 Social blends the softness of a lounge with the appeal of a dive bar by including a pool table, video games and big screen TVs. The quintessential Philadelphia lounge, on the other hand, is Lounge 125, an elite, members-only spot where the prices are high, the people are beautiful and the only rule is "dress to impress."
