Full Buyout Downtown Modern Craft Cocktail Bar

Beautiful Art Gallery - Blocks from the Liberty Bell
This is a great location for a cocktail party, reception, or (as in my case) birthday party. As long as you're not interested in throwing a raging party, this place could do nicely. They also let me choose which art would be hanging up which was a great touch...
