Saw David Wax Museum here tonight and we were thrilled at how intimate of a setting it was.

Two floors from which to enjoy the bands, and all the views are enjoyable.

Philadelphia seems to be replete with fun, decent people. At least it was here. :)

We'll be back.

Red picnic tables rule! Brought my pup and he got a water bowl. Natalie is a great server. Food is very good..see a show here. Such a good old Philly building.

Danny Xavier

Great food, and vibe. A Fishtown institution. Taking one star off because the beer selection just isn’t hittin.

Needs to invest in some maintenance.

Dan Cohen

Great burger, best crowd all Friday night, incredible music selection by the dj, Mario cotto. Will be returning for the vibes.

Four star bar but five star service. There are not a lot of food and drink options but the bartenders are very friendly and the vibe is fun. Consider this for a happy hour spot. I would come back to try out their karoake.

A nice intimate venue with a cool historic stage & wide drink selection. I enjoy going here but starting to feel weird about it — from their Events page it seems like they almost never book artists of color? ?

Johnny Brenda is great. Great people. Great food. Great music. My beef is that the sound guy sucked eggs. I was there to hear a horn group and this sound guy set the bass so high it drowned out the horns.

We were in town for a trade show at The Fillmore needed a place to relax after

Great bartender, staff (shoutout to Mitch!) pool table and music.

If you’re looking for a day cocktail this is the only joint worth visiting in the area IMO. Great menu. Clean restrooms.

Will definitely be back

I love the layout and seeing shows here but god do I wish this was a gay dance club, it's got so much potential to be one. ( I'm being selfish, okay?)

It's a great venue with good drinks, surprisingly good salad, and atmosphere and great mood lighting for stage and building overall. I loved everything about it. Especially viewing the shows from the balcony, it's worth it to visit here and support the shows!
