The nightlife scene in Northern Liberties is getting an upgrade with a brand new Italian steakhouse that’s open until 1 am on weekends. This Thursday, November 16th, SIN (Steak Italian Nightlife) will open its doors to the public in Northern Liberties (1102 Germantown Avenue). The 4,750 square feet restaurant that seats 160 diners strives to provide a “vibe dining” experience that features a nightlife (music/entertainment) element alongside eating.

But to be clear, owner Justin Veasey and partners Mike Connors and William Muhr want future diners to know that SIN isn’t a nightclub. “We are creating a unique concept not done before in Philadelphia — we are a steakhouse and Italian restaurant first and foremost with an interactive dinner experience,” says Veasey, who came up with the concept of SIN.
