No frills venue! Fun bar with a pool table for entertainment. The owner was friendly and there is ample parking across the street.

A staple of the Philly local music scene. The Nail has been there forever and I'm always thrilled to go back - as a performer or as an audience member! It's a proud dive bar - if you don't want that atmosphere, go somewhere else. If you want to go somewhere where local music feels very alive and intimate, with a very kind family running and working the venue, come to the Nail.I've been playing here for 15 years and consistently have had incredible experiences.

Shi+ Hole. The owner takes money from people literally! Do not book a venue here ! You won't get the money you deserve they don't split your money equally!

The only good thing about this place is the bartenders who are kind and fast. Drinks are definitely watered down here & the owner feels the need to handle the money if you book an event here, which is quite odd. *owner has now responded with a false accusation to save face because he can’t handle the critique of his establishment, if you book bands avoid this place. A lot of my friend who are local have felt uncomfortable by how the owner involves himself in the booking, and he only does 21+ so he makes money on his watered drinks.*

I played my first tour stop on tour at The Rusty Nail and it was the best tour kick off show ever! I shared the bill with two local talents and we had an absolute blast. Stage, sound, and lighting were all top notch and they even had a couple pool tables to hang out before and after show. Already looking forward to next time...

Fun local joint. Live music is great and the owner works really hard to make sure the musicians and customers are happy. Definitely has that cool small town dive bar vibe.

Great place to see live music! Intimate space, awesome bartenders. There was a cover charge but the money went back to the band.

I enjoyed meeting the staff member and while it was a quiet night, I felt welcome. I came for the open mike and will try again sometime when there may be more people.
Great local live music
