At a glance
Time combines a restaurant, whiskey bar, taproom and live jazz venue at 1315 Sansom St in Philadelphia. The setting brings food, drinks and music together in a multi-room space, giving the venue several distinct ways to spend an evening. It suits diners looking for a full restaurant experience, listeners seeking live jazz, and guests interested in a bar centered on whiskey and taproom service.
The restaurant side provides a dining room for meals, while the bar program gives equal attention to whiskey and taproom offerings. The menu is presented as part of a broader night-out experience rather than as a narrowly defined specialty restaurant. The venue’s character comes from the combination of dining, drinks and live performance, with each element contributing to a social, evening-oriented atmosphere.
Live jazz is a central part of the identity. Music gives the space a performance-focused quality that distinguishes it from a standard restaurant or bar, while the separate rooms allow dining and drinking to share the same address without being the only focus. The three-room layout includes a dining room and an upstairs area, creating a setting that can accommodate different kinds of visits within one venue.
Time works for a meal paired with cocktails or whiskey, a drink-focused stop, or an evening built around live music. The venue also offers event bookings and gift cards, extending its role beyond a single dinner or bar visit. Its combination of restaurant service, whiskey, taproom selections and jazz makes it a natural choice for adults planning an evening with food and entertainment in the same place.
The atmosphere is best understood as polished but performance-led, with the music program shaping the experience. Guests who prefer a quiet meal should consider the live-music setting, while those who enjoy a more active bar and restaurant environment may find the format a good fit. The venue’s late-evening orientation also makes it suited to after-work dining, drinks or music-led nights. Entry rules apply after 9pm, when guests under 21 are not admitted.
