Saving with 6abc: Deals don't end with Center City Sips

CENTER CITY (WPVI) -- By now, most people know about Center City Sips, when bars and restaurants offer $3 beers, $4 wines and $5 cocktails on Summer Wednesdays from 5:00-7:00 p.m. But some bars in the area known as SOWE, South Street West of Broad, are expanding on that concept.

At Rex 1516, you'll find Executive Chef Justin Swain whipping up "bar bites" like a Southern smoked pork sandwich or pimiento grilled cheese for their Wednesday Happy Hour. It runs from 5-7. The bar bites are just $5 each. And a weekly julep special is just $6.

They also have a burger deal that runs all night long.

Swain explains. "The burger is part of our city-wide deal. It's a burger, fries, a shot of Buffalo Trace, and a pint of Newbold for $15. And that's on Wednesdays as well."

Across the street at Jet Wine Bar, they're also running a happy hour deal. It starts after Center City Sips ends -- 9:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. on Wednesday nights.

Bar Manager Amanda Juner says, "The house wines are always $5. There's always a rotating cocktail. In the summer, we typically do a white sangria, which is offered all the time, but is $2 off during happy hour. It's a really good deal."

Snacks like bruschettas, deviled eggs and picholine olives are just $3.
