Where to Buy: Liquor in Philadelphia

Where to Buy: Those looking for wine and liquor need to find a Fine Wine and Good Spirits outlet, called a “state store” by locals because the state government runs them. More than half a dozen operate in Center City (some are closed on Sundays). For beer, distributors sell cases, though most locations aren’t easily accessible from Center City. Bottle shops offer six-packs, and many, including the two locations of The Foodery, encourage customers to try different styles by opting for the mix-a-six. Select bars also sell a small selection of to-go six-packs. Fine Wine and Good Spirits, finewineandgoodspirits.com; The Foodery, 10th & Pine Streets, (215) 928-1111; fooderybeer.com; The Foodery Rittenhouse, 1710 Sansom Street, (215) 567-1500, fooderyrittenhouse.com
