Great place for music, food was good. However, our waitress was not very good. I showed up to hear the band and and it was a listening party, of there new CD, with the band. ??

Questions & Answers

Monday – Friday: 10AM-5PM (10PM if a show/event is scheduled) Saturday – Sunday: 5PM-10PM (unless an earlier show/event is scheduled)

You can do either or both

Hey Marissa - our website is currently down due to a nationwide Ticketfly outage, but you can still find info on our Facebook & Twitter pages. Tonight's Havana Nights event upstairs is free, downstairs '90s Old School Hip Hop Summer Party is $10 at the door.

Typically yes, but it depends on the show

It varies depending on the show, when it starts and how many artists are playing. During the week usually 10 or 11pm.

AKA is the closest, about half a block away. (https://www.stayaka.com/aka-university-city) Other options include The Study (https://www.thestudyatuniversitycity.com/rooms.html) and Sheraton (https://www.marriott.com/hotels/travel/phlus-sheraton-philadelphia-university-city-hotel/).

Either/Both depending on the show

You will be able to get into the mezzanine at 7pm when doors open. A limited dinner menu & drinks will be available on the mezzanine. If you'd like to come in earlier, you can dine in our upstairs restaurant with the full menu before you head down for the show!

Very easy to find on street!

Our monthly open mic nights are currently on hiatus, but we'll be bringing them back later this summer! First Tuesdays.
