While on a work trip we wanted to grab drinks. I wanted to find a place that was casual, but would still impress everyone I was with. Andra Hem definitely delivered unique drinks, a casual, inviting atmosphere and friendly staff. read more

Not big enough for large groups, but perfect for a night cap or intimate girls' night. Our bartender was fantastic. I wish I remembered her name :( The menu has a pho washed gin drink - order that. Never had anything like it in my life. As I get older I appreciate being in the presence of a real mixologist, which is what Andra Hem offers. Decor is grown and sexy. read more

Lovely bar! We sat upstairs it wasn't crowded. I got the cognitive dissonance and enjoyed it. Service was great.

I love a good speakeasy. You'll easily miss Andra Hem if you're walking too fast. It's about 15 seats as the drinks are good. If you're in the area, stop by. read more

We planning on coming in for a quick drink and ended up staying here for hours. The atmosphere is fun and funky, the staff is super friendly and attentive, and the drinks are great. The pickel bowl was fresh and tangy making for a great snack while we were there. The lemondrop had a nice ballance to it as well. They were great about refilling waters and striking up conversations. The only two downsides is the croud and the price. Everything is a little bit pricy but worth it and to be expected at a place like this. It also gets busy so most people were standing but we lucky got there early enough to get some seats at the bar. Overall a great place for a nice date. read more

I love this cocktail bar so much, I visited 3 nights in a row during my week visit to Philly. It's tiny and only seats maybe 20 people, but there's a back railing for some minimal standing room. All I needed! I'm obsessed with the Easy on the Chais. It's boozy, smooth, and absolutely perfect. I drank it all 3 nights! I'm also obsessed with the Golden Eye. It's frothy and the nutmeg is the perfect touch. I'd drink this every day! My friends got the Pear Jordan which was so delicious but very strong ginger, it'll clear your sinuses! Delicious. The spice world was also good but not my fave. Their version of espresso martini, "Bee-DSM" used tequila and whip cream, delicious, but more of a dessert than a martini. Love this place so much! read more

They open at 5 and got there around 5:40 and were shown to a cute banquette upstairs. Drinks aren't cheap but very unusual. I had the Fig Around. Olive infused vodka and fig and my daughter had the Golden Eye. Coconut milk, turmeric and vodka. Both were very tasty. We ordered spicy popcorn to munch on and it was perfect. Trendy interior and good service. read more

Stopped in on a whim for a birthday cocktail and were able to be seated at 6:00pm on a Saturday night. We sat upstairs at the bar and the ambiance here is NICE. I love the speakeasy feel and it was packed. I likely should have ordered off their standard cocktail menu but was really craving a French 75, and also found their cocktail menu to be a bit lackluster. My cocktail was nice, served in a coupe, and drank easy. Bartender was a little grumpy but the rest of the staff was super kind. Look for the martini sign out front and enter the black door. I would recommend a reservation! read more

Stopped in for just one cocktail tonight and honestly loved my Manhattan. Patrick was working the bar and came over right after I arrived to say hi and make me feel welcome. For such a sleek, modern spot, the service was super friendly and chill but still really efficient. I'll definitely be coming back. Amazing drink, sweet service, and the prices are totally fair compared to other downtown spots read more

I stopped in around 10 pm on a recent Saturday night with a friend. It was *busy* and for good reason. They were going to try to seat us in about 20 minutes if a table opened up, but we were fine with a ledge by the bar. The bartender came over to us to take our order, which made it a seamless process. I ordered the Golden Eye cocktail, and it was comprised of turmeric spiced vodka, herbal liqueur, coconut milk, lime, amaro, and nutmeg. The flavors all went together really nicely, and it was an all-around lovely sipper. I wish I could've stayed longer to enjoy the ambiance but I was on a time limit. I'll be back again one day for sure. read more

Really inventive drinks! I had a yogurt washed cocktail and it tasted just like a gogurt/childhood yogurt drink and was very refreshing and nostalgic. Room was quiet and great for chatting and catching up over a drink. Service attentive and did a great job explaining different drink options! The snack board was SO delicious and big portions that were perfect for 4 people to share. The beef jerky, cheeses, and spreads were so flavorful and definitely had enough crackers and bread to enjoy read more

Intimate and mysterious ambiance. The darkness of the bar and the decor really serve to elevate the experience. The cocktail options were unique and fun to try!

Good experience overall. We had taken a Lyft to the location and it dropped us off at the service entrance - so just an FYI to make sure to enter through the main area. We had made reservations via Resy in advance and upon arrival we were immediately seated in the upstairs area. The ambiance is nice and the it has a decent cocktail menu. The service was pretty slow and it didn't look that crowded overall to explain this. Would definitely recommend but hoping to sit downstairs and hope for more attentive service. read more

We were like 2nd in line ten min before they opened last Sat and were able to get a table on the first floor. It filled up fast. It's a cool spot, loved the dark walls and decor. Our server was nice. Interesting drink options but I went with their espresso martini which was good. Hubs was adventurous and got a drink with a hint of lamb... he liked it? But I'll just say it was interesting. Wanted to love the caviar and chips but it was oddly bland? But loved the vibe there. read more

My friend and I stopped into Andra Hem for drinks to celebrate the end of Dry January and had a great time! The space downstairs is nicely decorated and very cozy which was just the vibe I was going for. The first drink I ordered was the Pie in the Sky (bourbon, rhubarb amaro, strawberry, lime, and bitters) which was refreshing and delicious. It was the perfect level of sweetness for me since I don't like sweet drinks. My second cocktail of the night was the Peat Forsberg (blended scotch, Islay scotch, lemon, carrot, ginger, and honey). It was gorgeous - pretty orange due to the carrot, and the flavors were a great note to end on. I can't wait to come back and try some of the other drinks (and maybe snacks as well)! read more

Outstanding place with one of the most sophisticated, creative cocktail menus in Philly. I thoroughly enjoyed the "Stay Grassy, Philadelphia" (Milk Punch: rum, creme de menthe, creme de cacao, lime) and wish I were able to try everything listed under their "Originals" section. My partner and I shared the spiced popcorn, which was incredible, along with the potato chips + caviar and the seasonal pickles. Ambience is sleek and mysterious. I look forward to visiting again the next time I'm in that part of town. read more

The drinks and small bites were the highlights here, complemented by a cool and trendy atmosphere. The space felt light and inviting, with aesthetic wallpaper that added to its charm. We enjoyed cocktails, warm olives, and sugar-coated nuts, all beautifully presented. The bartender was incredibly friendly and attentive. I tried the 'Stay Grassy, Philadelphia'--a unique cocktail that was clear, with a surprising kick of cacao and mint. The prices were on the higher side, but I'd still highly recommend it. I'd definitely return for another visit read more

Really cool cocktail bar. Intimate vibe.! The drinks were creative and delicious. Our server was awesome !

We were able to snag same day reservations at Andra Hem for pre-dinner drinks and snacks on a Saturday evening. My husband and I were super excited as we've been wanting to check out Andra Hem since last year when it opened. I recall seeing lots of people waiting outside and it being impossible to get a table. Anyway, here we are now. We checked in with the hostess who led us upstairs. The lounge was sexy chic but felt a little too dark for my liking. I was having trouble reading the menu. For drinks, I was between the Lamb washed bourbon and Nothing Beets a Dala Horse. Hearing that was our server's favorite convinced me to go for it. My husband went with the Bee-DSM Coretto. We also shared an order of the potato pancakes. Neither of us were in the mood for Swedish meatballs. A single order of potato pancakes consisted of 3 pancakes, and it came with a micro dill, horse-radish crème dip. It was delicious. Overall, these were well-crafted cocktails. My husband enjoyed his drink, which was a tequila-based cocktail with espresso flavors. Mine tasted super beet-y and healthy. I've never had a beet flavored alcoholic drink before. Sadly, this cocktail might be too exotic for me. I'm glad we were able to check out Andra Hem though. Having our own Scandinavian cocktail lounge here in Philly is super cool. How many cities can say they have their own Scandinavian cocktail lounge? If you're feeling adventurous and want to check out some interesting cocktails, definitely make a reservation and stop by. read more

Best Cocktail Bar ever....great atmosphere & interior design, creative cocktails, and fantastic waitstaff.

Nice ambience, small bites and familiar cocktails. Complimentary warm olives were served which was good. But... the drinks menu just wasn't exciting enough. The same cocktails with the same variations that everybody is doing these days. I had the "violet! you're turning violet!" and was expecting a pretty violet drink, let's say the drink wasn't close to any shade of purple and tasted like cough syrup. On the contrary, the other drink "nothing beets a dala horse" was definitely quite enjoyable - beets and coconut cream, almost tasted like fresh beet juice - but it is also something I have had before. Unfortunately, this place didn't wow me enough to be back. read more

Made a reservation on Resy to sit at the bar. Loved the outside entrance. Place is small but feels cozy in a chic kinda way. Music is perfect volume. Loved the interior design, especially the wallpaper and picture over the bar. Had the fig cocktail and it was delicious. Didn't like the the high bar still- my feel dangled. Loved hooks under the bar. The bill came wi to a postcard and we sent it to a friend. Would love to return! read more

SUCH a great experience here! The drinks are so creative and fantastic (a little pricier than my usual, but the quality makes it well worth it!). Reservations open up at noon the day of, so set an alarm on your phone! The staff is all great and our server was helpful in recommending drinks. The space itself is really nice. Definitely recommend for a fun night out! read more

Andra hem was a bit of a miss for me. I love the speakeasy style vibe--you'd definitely miss the entrance if you weren't looking for it. But it feels like they may be trying a bit too hard with the menu and decor inside. I always go for adventurous cocktails that I couldn't make at home at places like these, but found some of the builds kind of unbalanced. Sure, when you order a beet juice based cocktail, you do expect a lot of beet, but I found it overwhelming. We came after dinner and it was pretty packed. Tables are cozy, but the service was pretty slow. You're definitely paying premium prices for these drinks too! Inside is very, very dark. I want to try it again when it's less busy; maybe order something a little less adventurous, but at this price point I'm not quite sure it's a home run yet. read more

Cool spot, very well made drinks, very attentive service, friendly, gorgeous with a classic yet modern feel.

Lovely, elevated bites and cocktails - and truly wonderful staff. I was here about two weeks ago and had a medical episode from a chronic ailment I've had most of my life and I just cannot give the staff enough love for treating me like a human rather than assuming the worse about a woman randomly lying down in your bar. For most of my life I have had episodes of Vasovagal Syncope- which is a sudden drop in my blood pressure. Inside, I feel like I'm about to pass out- kinda like I'm dying - and I just need to lay down and get some salt in me. But to the outside world, especially when in a bar, it's often assumed that I've overindulged or am drugs. I haven't had an episode in a long time so I wasn't wearing a medical bracelet and had no other identifiers on me - but the staff checked in to make sure I was ok, and then just let me lay across the bench for the time I needed in all my embarrassing glory. Yes- go there for the delicious drinks, moody and romantic ambiance (hello date spot!) and cheese board that has more accoutrements than a girl could ask for (love!). But also go to support a space that is run by wonderful humans who clearly care about the people in their establishment and not just the 'vibe'. A woman laying across the one cozy bench in the joint taking up 3 tables is not 'it'- and many places would have made me move, which would have made me worse. They didn't even ask. So much love to those working that night - go give them all of your business! read more

went here for cocktails and it was lovely. service was quick and our server was kind, she came to the table at appropriate times to not disturb conversation. it's an intimate setting with low lighting and lots of booth seating (which I like). cocktails were good and balanced well. I got the pie in the sky (pictured below) and the Violet! You're turning Violet! We had a snack and got the stöetzel on gf bread and it was savory and has a good salt balance. overall good experience and will go back again to try more foods and cocktails read more

Had a chance to try this place recently and was very pleased. It's right in the thick of things near city hall. Our server, Laura, was fantastic as was our entire experience. We started with some cocktails, warm olives, and the cheeseboard. The BeeDSM Coretto was our first drink but we thought we should have ordered it with dessert, it was rather creamy. Second round we got the Fig Around which was my favorite drink, and went so well with the cheese board, which had 3 nice cheeses and accoutrements. The warm olives surprised me as well, I'm generally not an olive eater but these were really good! Next we got the Swedish meatballs, which are actually mushroom based, and the Pears for Heirs to drink. This was also good, second favorite after the Fig Around. I opted for the dessert of the day and the name unfortunately escapes me, but it was delicious! Amazing space, well decorated with an upstairs dining room and bar/table seating on the first floor. They have their own beehive on the roof and that honey is delicious! read more

THE BEST cocktail lounge I've ever been to in my life!! THE BEST Cocktails EVER! Andra Hem where have you been all my life! I've walked by this place a millions times and never knew it existed! This Scandinavian-inspired cocktail lounge is like a hidden gem of Philly although your looking right at it! As I approached the door it looked like the type of place you need to give a secret knock for exclusive entry. The cocktails here are reminiscent of the Netflix show Drink Master and are Drink Master worthy! Andra Hem gave me so much more than I was expecting from start to finish.. the ambiance...the mixology....the aromatics ...the servers. Intimate chill vibes here. Everything was top notch. I ordered the Lambhattan which is a lamb fat washed bourbon cocktail. It was very intriguing to me, I had never had a cocktail like that before so I gave it a go. The lamb fat added a very savory flavor to the cocktail. It was so amazing i ordered it three times and each time it was spot on. The cocktails here are consistent and truly perfected. I can't wait to return! read more

I stopped in for one cocktail this evening and was very pleased with the Manhattan I had. Patrick was working the bar and walked up shortly after I arrived and introduced himself and welcomed me. For a place that is very sleek and new it was great to have such unpretentious and friendly service that was also so effficient. I would certainly return based on this short experience. Excellent drink, friendly service and prices were directly on par with other downtown competitors like Ranstead Room. read more

Went to Andra Hem for drinks before dinner last night and really enjoyed our time. - Setting is great. Love the speakeasy-tucked away outdoor vibes, and a really nice interior as well. Dark lighting makes it an amazing date spot. - Drinks are really good. Lengthy menu and talented staff. - Only real qualm would be the prices (they're ridiculous) but that's kind of a part of the deal and expectations IMO. Love it here!! read more

Andra Hem - Bee-DSM Coretto, Nothing Beets a Dala Horse - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

I was pumped to stop in here for early evening drinks after seeing photos of the interiors but was a bit let down by my visit. The three of us were led upstairs to the moody yellow room to a table that was quite small, so small that when we ordered food there was really nowhere for it to go! We awkwardly had our share plates in our laps as I think we ordered one too many things. The cheeseboard was flavorful and the drinks had very attractive presentations but the ones I had didn't leave a lasting impression. Our server was super friendly and assisted us in making drink choices as it's a good sized menu! There seemed to be a good amount of couples having cozy dates so I'm not sure the vibe was what we were looking for in that moment. The downstairs bar looked very pretty - would go back to see if I could snag a seat there and test out some other cocktails. read more

Dark, intimate, cozy... I can't say enough about Andra Hem. Everything was perfect from the moment I stepped across the threshold. From the dark, moody first-floor bar with beautiful leather coasters to the black bathroom with the beautiful and whimsical handpainted murals, I was in love. Andra Hem pays attention to the small details that can turn an ordinary evening into something spectacular. Outstanding cheese board with a tasty and varied selection, my friend was particularly fond of pear butter. The jerky was tasty and had just the right amount of spiciness. Attentive and wonderful service from the door greeter to the servers and bartender. Please, please make sure you venture upstairs as well. No reservations, get there early, but it's worth the wait. read more

The ambience and service are nice but i personally felt the drinks fell kind of flat - they were very pricey and while they were new and inventive ideas i didnt love any of the ones we tried and the flavors felt a little watered down.

fun vibes, but off putting actual drink flavors? speakeasy/dark interior, walked in on friday night around 7:30 ish without a res for 2 people. you can walk in and just get lucky like we did or hang around behind the bar to wait for someone to leave we got the beet cocktail and the ginger/carrot one. ginger carrot one was definitely better than the beet one although like a worse version of the carrot cocktail from rex at the royal lmao. the beet one tho was bad?? gross, kinda like a fresh pressed juice if u added liquor which just makes both parties taste worse. entire menu had the vibe that they wanted that 'wow' factor with the flavor pairings but at least the ones we tried fell short of that mark and were just a bit gross wouldn't return tbh 1 drink per person after tax and tip is about $25 so for that price a lot of better bars out there read more
