The Ultimate Philly Mardi Gras Happy Hour Guide

PHILADELPHIA — There are cocktails, and then there are experiences. At Craftsman Row Saloon’s new pop-up, your drink doesn’t just come with a garnish—it comes with toys.

As part of their massive Mardi Gras celebration, the bar team is pouring a new lineup of Bourbon Street-inspired drinks that are designed to get the party started.

The “Souvenir” Cocktail Menu

Almost every specialty drink on the menu comes with a keepsake you can take home, turning your happy hour into a scavenger hunt.

  • The Carnival Pass Mule: A tequila and ginger beer twist that comes with a keepsake wristband.
  • The Tipsy Band: A whiskey and chamomile sipper that includes a festive headband.
  • The Hurricane: The NOLA classic (rum and passion fruit) served with a masquerade mask.
  • The Gin Fizz: Served with a light-up ice cube.

Espresso Martini Fans, Listen Up

If you need a caffeine kick to keep the party going, try the King Cake Espresso Martini. It’s a mix of vodka, espresso, RumChata, and Kahlua, finished with brown sugar. It’s essentially energy in a glass.
