Vesper Soon Serving Exclusive Business Lunch in Center City...

To the Ladies and Gentleman of Philadelphia Who Lunch: Vesper (Center City Philadelphia), the talk of the town after opening a few months back, is finally extending its hours to include lunch, starting Sept 8, 2015. Since opening, Vesper has been constantly receiving inquiries from guests about when they will be open for lunch. While the Philly food and restaurant scene is growing more bountiful every year, there is still a shortage of options for fine business lunches, and Vesper has just answered this need.

On September 8, 2015 between 11am - 3:30pm patrons from Center City Philadelphia can experience Vesper's inaugural exclusive business lunch. Guests who RSVP will receive complimentary hor d'oeuvres and champagne.

Philadelphia, PA, August 27, 2015 - Starting September 8th, the sophisticated supper club Vesper opens its doors for a distinguished take on lunch.

Guests are now invited to treat themselves with Vesper's new lunch menu, offering a unique blend of lighter fare, innovative flavors, and afternoon-appropriate beverages.

History:
Vesper was founded in 2015 by owners Brendan Smith (Smith's Bar and Restaurant, Milk House), Chuck Ercole (Misconduct Tavern), and John Barry (Smith's Bar and Restaurant) as a space for today's connoisseurs to enjoy a leisurely meal. Vesper is located in the heart of Center City at 223 Sydenham Street.

In its past life as a speakeasy, Philadelphia's brass would meet here in its underground cavern room to strike off-the-record deals. This history still resonates throughout the restaurant, recently revitalized into a refined hideaway in the heart of Center City.

Vesper will now be open for lunch from 11am to 3:30pm. The bar opens daily at 3:30pm and dinner service begins at 5pm with live music every night. Call 267-930-3813 or visit http://www.vesperphilly.com to RSVP for the inaugural day lunch banquet.
