Came with my friends to the Mink unfortunately couldn't get in because the guy at the door for some point didn't like my ID card that been issued by the state, it's so ridicules, note to the owners guys hire proper stuff other wise you loose money and customs.

Only think is good there is drinks, and community, but music sucks there

I left an honest review about this place on Facebook. It was removed by the owner who told me that I am not a real person and that my review was dishonest. Instead of addressing the issues and apologizing, the owner likes to censor the truth about this place.! Please let me warn you. The place is unreasonably expensive. The food is terrible. My wife got sick from it. Based on what the employees confessed, the kitchen is filthy. When it's busy, you could stand for 20 minutes waiting for a drink because the bartenders are socializing with their buddies or they only focus on one side of the bar. The employees at this place are unprofessional and careless like the owner himself. Stay away from this place. It will most likely shut down in the near future because it's being run terribly and it has not changed, nor will it ever change.

The worst club in Philadelphia, with haughty guardians, owners and waiters. Alcohol is awful, it's seems like they buy it somewhere in the basement. It was definitely my last time in this "club"

We usually don't go to places that don't have great reviews already; however we were desperate for a fun spot in Philly as there aren't a ton of bars out here that have hookah, drinks, live music, AND food so we settled for this place. They don't have a website but on Google it says they open at 5 PM. We arrived at 7:45 PM on a Friday night, we walked in and there was not even one single person in the whole place. Music was blasting, disco lights everywhere, tables all set with menus and all but not even one person in there. After 5 minutes we saw movement in the back there was a guy smoking next to the kitchen, we walk over and ask to be seated and he just tells us that they won't serve food or drinks until 9 PM because that's when they really open. Don't think I would ever go back there.

This used to be my every saturday night hangout place with my friends and used to love being here so much. Their prices were already little high from others which didn't bother us before but recently they started charging $15 cover and even their prices for beers and all went high. $7 for Heineken ??? Are you kidding me ??? Me and my friends started looking for another place to hangout. Sorry but we are really disappointed. This place was not getting much crowded on weekends and top of that this price hikes is gonna add a cherry on top of the cream. We would miss our gatherings at Mink.

First of all, I am 100% European so when I go there I expect them to treat me right. The bartender has absolutely no personality. And if you want a drink you can forget about it, it might take a month. Not even that when we came there one Wednesday karaoke wasn't working, and that's not the first time. It's always something, sound system is really good , but it's always not working or frozen, also my fiancé is not European so when he puts his songs in it might get skipped over someone who is European and wants to sing. Not fair. You can never reach them on a phone when you call. So unprofessional. Never going back , glass of wine is way overpriced anyway.

Always good place to hang out. Especially on Saturday. Plenty of hot girls and the atmosphere is great.

Don't go to this establishment if you expect quick service, nice bartender without an attitude and pleasant atmosphere. Went here for a karaoke night. Couldn't get a drink for almost 20 minutes. All we got was a disgusting attitude from a girl bartender with dark hair without being introduced to us. She added gratuity to our check at that point when bartender doesn't know the difference between a shot and neat and after bringing the wrong order answering "this is the only way we do it" and leaving. If I could leave less then 1 star, I would. One word. Disappointment.
Went on Friday night, night before Halloween. It was empty. Not too great place to hang out

Been here a few times and they always have a very nice bartender but minimal English is spoken...it's a front for something... There is never anyone there and whoever there is Russian. If you are not Russian DON'T go!

This place is, in a word, terrifying. I had gone on a Saturday night and the DJ/entertainment guy was in an odd conga drum getup playing off the wall electronic beats accompanied by his drumming. I don't think I've ever seen anything like it. And though my friends and I had a laugh at the scene, I was extremely put off by the decor, which I can only describe as tacky. It was also blinding with the strobe and disco lights. Epileptics need not experience it. The drinks were very average in all regards, average in taste and average in price. I have to say I felt pretty darn demure compared to all the women there dressed to the nines, and very out of place indeed. Even most of the guys were dressed to kill. There's hookah too, but I didn't try it, apparently you have to reserve a table for it ahead of time? I don't know. The whole vibe is like an acid trip, and it hardly feels real once the experience is over. It's just funny to think a place like this exists in Feasterville. Check it out for the experience at least.

Drinks are nice and strong and they have hookah. Was dry both times I went. No one seems to come. Maybe I am going the wrong dates or at the wrong times, but I haven't came back again because I would love to hear some music and see more faces.

I came here along with my friends to celebrate my birthday. Sadly, I didn't knew they were having a Halloween party on the very weekend I was planing to celebrate. A little lack of information on their website but later on I found out on their facebook page updated that information later on at night. I would really appreciate if the administration can change the information about the cover charge's information that's posted on the website such that if arrival prior to 10 o'clock. My friends and I got their before 10 but we still got the cover charge fee because it was a special night. This made our first impression of this place not too great, yet this could have been not the case if there was updated information about it posted. Nevertheless, the place inside looks spectacular. Has a great bar and sitting area. I enjoyed the food along with my friends. The police costume bartender was really funny and made our time more enjoyable. I was a little astounded by the crowd present that mostly there were Eastern European. IMHO, I think its better if you come along with your friends/crew.
