Fodor's Expert Review The Walnut Room Redux

An über-cool vibe permeates this upscale Rittenhouse bar, due in no small part to its penchant for surreptitiousness—the unmarked entrance on Walnut Street leads you up two flights of stairs to the well-heeled front room, overlooking the street. Once inside, you can find your way to the back bar, where sultry, dimly-lighted tables and booths await you. There, you can enjoy a rose-petal martini and discreetly check out the other patrons.
