Spill the Tea at Assembly Rooftop Lounge’s First-Ever Drag Tea
Assembly Rooftop Lounge (1840 Benjamin Franklin Pkwy), the swanky ninth-floor year-round cocktail bar and lounge overlooking the Benjamin Franklin Parkway, is putting a new spin on a time-honored tradition with its first-ever Drag Tea on Sunday, May 1 from 11 am – 1 pm.
The fabulous two-hour event is not-your-average afternoon tea service, featuring fun and creative takes on the classic assorted teas, miniature sandwiches and desserts with a side of BIG personalities as Philly’s favorite drag queens strut their stuff on Assembly Rooftop’s ninth floor terrace. Tickets are $75/person and include a glass of Prosecco on arrival. Tickets can be purchased here (must be 21+ with valid ID to enter).
Attendees are invited to spill the tea while enjoying a selection of not-your-grandma’s finger sandwiches from Executive Chef Sonny Ingui, including Smoked Salmon Eclair, Cucumber Heirloom Tomato Pumpernickel, Chicken Coconut Cashew Curry Salad, and more; plus, miniature desserts including Chocolate Opera, Orange Grand Marnier Profiteroles, Cherry Poppy Linzer, and more.
Additionally, if attendees are feeling sassy, they can indulge in two pay-as-you-go tea cocktails from the Assembly Bar Team, including (Don’t) Spill the Tea with Tanqueray Rangpur, St. Germain, ginger lemon tea, fresh lemon, honey and The Butterfly Effect, with Butterfly tea infused Stateside Vodka, St. Germain, lemon juice, and simple syrup.
