We came as a result of an organized party here for a few hours. We enjoyed the venue until it was time to go. There is pay per use parking next door to this building. This venue is large enough for small to medium sized parties. It features a stage and a smoking area. The restrooms are a bit screwy, but clean.

Very mature and electric atmosphere with a vibe that makes you smile while in company with a beautiful looking crowd. Great live music and talented DJs inside and outside for bringing back memories of yester-years. Recommended for sure.

One of the first places I visited when I moved from Philly. Reminded me of home. Good music, they have a bbq spot in the back with delicious loaded baked potatoes. The only reason I am giving it a 4 star and not 5 is the line at the bar to get a drink.

Cool Atmosphere, perfect for the 30+ crowd. Drinks were fantastic and crafted perfectly. Incense in the community bathroom space provided a calming and earthy vibe. Fellow attendees were dressed to impress for Friday night while still being friendly and approachable.

What a wonderful place. Friendly staff, amazing live music that changes constantly, nights with a DJ to keep you moving, and even Barbecue sold on the Patio. If you’re looking for a night out with real grownups and an opportunity to meet some fun people; you’ll love Sandaga 813. Loved that management walked around and interacted with the guest to make sure we were all having a great time.

The live band, the DJ and the crowd and even the staff were awesome. But when it came to them having there seating assignments together....AWFUL! My entire night was ruined because we were seated by staff at a table only to be asked to move by a patron. We were then seated in a great location near the stage, only to be disturbed once more by staff and moved to a table at the back of the club. DISAPPOINTED

Saturday nights are always a good vibe for the 30+ crowd. DJ on the patio and live music inside the main room makes for good synergy. Enjoy when Mandi does her set!

Love this place...kinda tight on the inside, but the backyard patio is lit! Literally, LOL! THE live band was amazing #SaturdayNightDoneRight

Review №34

I’ve been here a few times; standing room only, don’t even think about wearing those “cute but uncomfortable” shoes here. I guarantee you, your feet will leave you behind, and go wait for you in the car!!!! The good: no matter who’s the dj, I’ve never been disappointed, and the bad: unisex, 3stalls, very dark bathrooms-the reason for 3-stars. Outside patio smoking area sells barbecue! Its a totally different atmosphere. If you smoke it’s nice, if you don’t but can tolerate it, it’s a good vibe.

Sandaga 813 is SO MUCH FUN!!! I had the pleasure of celebrating my “21st” birthday there and my entire party thoroughly enjoyed themselves.Carmen (Reservations Coordinator) is AMAZING!!! She was very professional, informative and easy to work with, during the entire process.Throughout the night, she continuously asked me and my guests, if we were having a good time and if were in need of anything.If you’re looking for a night out on the town with your friends, a venue to host your party, or a place to let loose, this is the place to be.Kudos!!!

This is a cool place to go on a weekend. They have live music playing inside. This weekend (6/15/19) Mandi was singing with a live band and there was a dj outside on the patio playing more hip hop. They also offer bar-b-que for sale outside on the patio. The loaded baked potato was huge and delicious!

Sandaga 813 is the place to be on a Thursday or Friday night. While there, you must get a barbecue baked potato from the vendor in the back.

Review №72

Very nice atmosphere, were very talented Jazz and R&B artist perform. In addition to the DJ there is space to dance. So bring a change of shoes. They have a coat check in. I think you are allowed to bring in your own food to eat. Check the venue website to see if they may have a food vendors for various headliners. They also take reservations.

I enjoy the live music and dancing! The patio isnt too bad either. Not a fan of cover charges, and I believe this place has one every day, no matter what. The DJs are pretty good and the crowd is usually interesting and fun.

This was my first time at this venue. My good friend was having her birthday party their and she invited me and my husband. It is a pretty cool atmosphere and the live band was excellent. The hostess Carmen was very accommodating as we had a large party to seat during various times of the evening. I will definitely go back.

I love this spot. Have been before, but went on a Saturday night and the band was awesome. The drinks are good-meaning not watered down or poorly made. The ambiance is nice. The worst thing about this place is that if you get there about an hour after they open, its standing room only. You can go online or call ahead for a table. But if you decide on a whim to go there, be prepared to stand. Its a little unfortunate because if they had more open seating, they would DEFINITELY have more guests. For that, Ill keep a star. I really would keep 2 stars for that, but the talent that performs there is superb and make up for the lack of seating.

Great place to hear live music. When it gets too hot inside there is a patio on the outside where you can cool off and still enjoy yourself as theres a DJ playing music. They even had BBQ out there, for sale.

Review №94

Although we arrived at 9pm, right when the doors opened, and the venue was empty, we were informed that we could only purchase tickets to stand inside. Apparently in order to get a table, you have to make a reservation two weeks in advance. Do night try to go to this place on the spur of the moment.

I am surprised no one I know has ever mentioned this place. It was my first time going and I loved it. Four stars because seating could be better, but Ill definitely go back and bring friends too! Cover was $10 for ladies and $20 for men around 12am on a Saturday. Street parking and a lot was available.

Review №97

GREAT music venue! Went on a Wed night and the live band & DJ kept it moving all night. Not to be missed the BBQ being sold in the back at 11, think that might have influenced the rating more than the music.
