Almanac

Almanac is a Japanese-American cocktail bar on the second floor of 310 Market Street in Philadelphia. Its setting combines the traditions of Japanese bar craft with the atmosphere associated with an American speakeasy, creating a drinks-focused destination above a sushi and kappo restaurant.

The bar’s cocktail program centers on careful preparation and a slower approach to drinking. Handcrafted drinks bring Japanese flavors together with the character of American-grown ingredients, reflecting an interest in balance, technique and place. The result is a menu built around the meeting point between Japanese influence and American cocktail culture, rather than a single traditional style.

Almanac suits adults looking for a bar with a considered, craft-led approach to cocktails. The upstairs location gives the venue a distinct setting from the restaurant below, while the speakeasy influence informs its overall character. It works for an evening drink, a reservation-based visit or a meal paired with time at the bar.

A kitchen operates alongside the cocktail program, with food service from 5:00 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. Monday through Thursday and until 11:30 p.m. on Friday and Saturday. The bar remains open Monday through Saturday from 5:00 p.m. to 1:00 a.m., giving the venue a later evening schedule than its kitchen.

Almanac is an adults-only venue. Every guest must be at least 21 years old and must present valid identification. Reservations are available, and the upstairs entrance is open when the light is on. The location places the bar within easy reach of Market Street, while the second-floor setting keeps the cocktail experience separate from street-level dining.
