"Order a coffee, a glass of natural wine, or a full meal of in-season fare at Bloomsday while hanging by the double-sided fireplace in the dining room." - Ernest Owens, Sarah Maiellano
"High tea season is here, and Bloomsday is making it more culturally and socially accessible to all. This time around, I ditched the pomp and circumstance that often surrounds posh nature of High Tea socials and enjoyed their Philly-style version in Head House Square. Here, fancy tea sandwiches are replaced with savory tomato pie bites, deviled eggs instead of the typical crudités, and fudge brownie bites instead of macaroons. It’s less stuffy and more fun. And bonus points to them for including Philly-based bakeries and businesses to help put this festive teatime together. This event takes place the first Saturday of the month and is $68.25 per diner, with reservations available via Resy." - Ernest Owens
"When: Wednesday-Thursday, 4:30-6pm. Friday-Saturday, 10am-9pm. The Deal: $5 Draft Beers, $12 Cocktails, $9 Draft Wines, And $2-$12 Snacks Bloomsday's straightforward smashburger with cooper sharp and onions is great, discounted or otherwise. But no one talks about it because it's only available during Happy Hour at this Headhouse Square spot. (They do serve a deluxe, double-patty version at brunch, though.) Come drink vermouth and wine you've never had before, grab $2 oysters, and ask the bartenders questions as you go—they're friendly and know a ton. " - candis mclean
"Bloomsday is a natural wine bar and cafe in Headhouse Square, and it was one of the first places in Philly to focus on interesting, local wine producers. Their bottles range from a dry rosé made from grapes grown in Pennsylvania to a Txakolina from Spain that one waiter described as “the margarita of wine.” They also make their own vermouths, which is cool as hell.

"At this all-day café and bottle shop on historic Head House Square, beverage director D’Onna Stubblefield wants to help you find what you love and have fun doing it. Bloomsday Cafe pours come in as little as three ounces, which encourages more sampling of Spanish rosé, South African Pinot Noir, and the crushable red from Mural City Cellars." - Regan Stephens
