This is the place to go for a light dinner and a show. Perfect date night! Other shows are SRO, but great acoustics and crowds. If you have a teen, this is a safe spot for them to go with friends. There are also lots of places for Mom and Dad to get a bite and more nearby if you wait.

My experience was meeting an old (and older) co-worker and his wife for a show. Specifically because his son was performing and my ex-coworker (from Jersey) wanted to grab a beer while he was in the City. I was in the area for some other business that didn't end until about 5:30 and the show was at 7, so I decided that with a Happy Hour special, I'd just come in early. I was pleasantly surprised!

Jesse Gimbel's band should have headlined Thursday night. The food was good and the staff is so nice. I was blown away by the atmosphere. What a great venue!

Great venue for performances, convenient location with plenty of parking. We sat in the balcony and ordered food. All of the items we ordered were great, including the curry chicken, pulled pork and the eggplant fries. I will say that the service upstairs wasn't up to par, but it was hard to say if it was the server, or if she was short-handed. That said, the bartenders at the bar on the ground floor were excellent and very efficient! Looking forward to going back for future performances.

This was my first show and definitely it was a great experience. I enjoyed the comedy and the artistry. Not to mention the girls were seductive and sexy. Definitely would recommend it to anyone who wants to experience a fun night out.

Standing room only allows you to be close to the performance and dance

Nice place to see a show but, If you decide to pay more for the comfort of sitting in the balcony beware! The ticket price is higher & the sound system buries the vocals mix up there. I like to hear the singing in the mix and that appears to be directed to those down on the floor.

Great venue! We saw Kacey Musgraves here and it was amazing!

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.
