Whether you want to party all night long, have a relaxing and refreshing day, or do something quirky and fun, there’s plenty of awesome options for you right in town. Check out these twelve ideas for a bunch of totally different (and all equally fantastic) Philadelphia-area bachelorettes.

If you want to dance and party all night

Sampan | Facebook

Indulge in Moroccan belly dancing and drinks 

Kick off the night with belly dancing and dinner at Marrakesh. This Moroccan BYOB spot in Queen Village will serve you a delicious three-course meal with rich and flavorful dishes like beef shish-kebab marinated in Berber and Spicy Chicken in Cumin Sauce. Show up with a few bottles of your favorite wine and enjoy a belly dancing show while drinking and dining. After party spots are aplenty in Old City, Washington Square West, and Center City: hit up Bob & Barbara’s (and make sure to get a citywide special), Franky Bradley’s, or Plough and the Stars for drinks and dancing. 

Go for sushi and shameless karaoke

Karaoke is always a good idea, but a karaoke and Sushi party—genius! Sing your heart out all night at some of Philly’s coolest Karaoke Bars with private rooms. Fuji Mountain’s private room has karaoke and a full bar, and Yakitori Boy has multiple options for Karaoke. You can reserve a lounge table for 5-12 people and purchase song tickets to sing with others around you. Or, if you prefer a more intimate affair,  choose to rent out a private room so you can sing all your High School Favorites—sans judgment.

Bar hop in Midtown Village

You can’t go wrong with a simple night out to celebrate your Bachelorette Party. Start off with drinks somewhere like Maison 208, with its cool retractable rooftop bar. Then pop on over to the nearby Sampan, or Graffiti Bar tucked behind Sampan for some delicious eats and cocktails, before heading to Woody’s for a fun crowd.  Still looking for a party?—good thing Voyuer is open until 3 A.M. on Saturdays. 

If you want something health and wellness focused

The Rittenhouse Spa

Have a Rittenhouse brunch and spa day.

Pamper all your friends and have a bridal party that includes a boozy brunch at Parc, followed by a spa day just around the corner The Rittenhouse Spa. If you’re going full luxury, try their new “luxe ritual,” which includes full body exfoliation, a body wrap, and an oil scalp treatment followed by a massage. If some of your party is more into a high-end facial or salon service, they can have make a hair appointment, or get a facial instead. After you’re all done, you can take a dip in the pool and unwind on the rooftop deck. The best part about a spa day? You won’t only leave with great memories of total pampering with your bridal party, but you’ll also be glowing, refreshed, and totally ready for your big day. Want to keep going?

Their weekend brunch menu, diverse and delicious, has familiar drinks, omelets and salads, and of course, Lebanese specialties like hummus, falafel, and Lebanese flatbreads. Have a toast with a mimosa (or several), or try the refreshing Orange Blossom Iced Tea.

Go on a Poconos AirBnb getaway

Parties in the city are lovely, but there is something very cleansing about leaving for a bit and re-centering with nature. Consider grabbing a beautiful Airbnb (like this one) in the Poconos mountains or Delaware River Gap for a weekend of outdoor activity. (Here are a bunch more to check out.) From biking and hiking trails for the summer and skiing in the winter, there are so many things to do that are both healthy and fun. The best part, renting out an entire house means that there is still time to throw on a face mask or two and sip wine with your best friends.
