The Almyra Happy Hour Updates Its Daily Mediterranean Escape

For Philadelphians in the know, Almyra Happy Hour has long been a spirited post-work oasis. Now, the vibrant Rittenhouse Square hotspot from Estia Restaurant Group has given its daily 4–6 p.m. offering a bold and flavorful refresh. Cradled in the heart of Center City at 1636 Chancellor Street, Almyra’s new Happy Hour menu invites guests into a reimagined Aegean escape—one defined by exclusive cocktails, Mediterranean mezze, and an atmosphere where the coastlines of Mykonos meet the pulse of the city.

Offered exclusively at the bar and surrounding high-tops, the revamped Almyra Happy Hour taps into the art of Greek hospitality with playful energy and polish. “We wanted to offer something that felt fresh and dynamic—something that honored the flavors of Greece while still being perfect for sharing and sipping after work,” says Dean Pashalis, Co-Owner of Estia Restaurant Group.

Almyra Happy Hour: Sip the Aegean with Inventive Cocktails

A key highlight of the new Almyra Happy Hour is its lineup of five inventive Greek-inspired cocktails, priced at just $7 each and available only during Happy Hour. Designed to evoke the elements, each drink blends classic spirits with Mediterranean soul.

Start with Pyra (Fire)—a spicy tequila riff on the margarita that finishes with a candied jalapeño and tajín-sugar rim. Gaia (Earth) introduces tropical complexity with cinnamon-infused Goslings rum and pineapple, while Synephos (Crown) layers whiskey with peach schnapps and a dreamy house-made peach foam.

Gin lovers will gravitate toward Kypello (Goblet)—a Mediterranean G&T with hay-infused gin, grapefruit, and a medley of fragrant spices. For something bolder, Briki (Greek Coffee Pot) blends vodka, Kahlúa, oat milk, coffee boba, and lemon oil in a striking nod to the Greek tradition of after-dinner coffee.

Each cocktail is made to order and showcases Almyra’s commitment to quality, creativity, and seasonal expression—perfect for a casual sip or a curated cocktail moment with friends.

Almyra Happy Hour: Mezze, Music, and Modern Greek Vibes

The newly upgraded Almyra Happy Hour food menu complements the drinks with a fresh slate of savory bites that span Greek tradition and modern flair. New arrivals include Crab Wontons with feta, dill, and Calabrian chili; a sticky, flavorful Lamb Rib glazed in tare and sesame with Greek ranch; and a suite of Happy Hour-portioned Skewers—Salmon, Filet, Chicken Kofta, and Artichoke—each at $8.

Returning favorites like the trio or quintet of House Spreads (think Edamame Hummus, Beet, Smoked Eggplant, Whipped Feta, and more) anchor the mezze menu alongside craveable staples like Spanakopita Manti, Crispy Rice with tuna and avocado, and the ever-dramatic Saganaki, ignited tableside in a fiery ouzo-honey showstopper.

With cascading florals, breezy Mediterranean textures, and a DJ spinning every Friday and Saturday night at 9 p.m., Almyra Happy Hour isn’t just an after-work detour—it’s a downtown destination for vibrant connection and Greek-inspired indulgence.

Whether you’re pairing cocktails and small plates at golden hour or easing into the city’s weekend rhythm, Almyra’s refreshed Happy Hour invites Philadelphians to eat, drink, and linger longer.
