Sip & Stream Week 6

We’d like to take a moment to raise a glass to you for doing your part to keep everyone safe! 6 weeks of social distancing and/or isolation is no easy feat so, thank you.

This week we’ve got a rowdy Philly bar series, a classy (and a bit rowdy) NYC ad agency, and a Star Wars movie! So grab your shaker and a seat, and let’s kick this off!

It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia • Hulu

“Always Sunny”, as fans call it, follows “The Gang,” the owners of the unsuccessful Paddy’s Pub; a group of degenerates who love nothing more than to scheme, conspire, and mostly revel in each other’s misery. Whether gaming the welfare system, exploiting dumpster babies, pretending to be crippled, impersonating officers, or faking funerals, The Gang never stoops too low in the name of making a buck.
