Andra Hem

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Awarded 1 Pin by The Pinnacle Guide in 2026.

Andra Hem is a Scandinavian-inspired cocktail lounge in a townhouse on South 16th Street in Rittenhouse, run by art collector Paige West, and the room shows it: peacock blue and mustard walls, esoteric artwork and lichen-print wallpaper behind the bar. The drinks lean savory. The Lambhattan, bartender Patrick Jennings' Manhattan on lamb-fat-washed bourbon with Cocchi Americano and cardamom bitters, put the bar on Esquire's 2023 list of the best bars in America, and the legacy section of the menu keeps house originals like the Boomerang, on Söderblandnin-infused whiskey, dry vermouth and Swedish Punsch, and the Peat Forsberg. Aquavit runs through the list. Open Wednesday to Saturday from 5 pm.
