Do not waste your time going to this place. the coat check girl was extremely rude to me and my friend because she thought we were trying to sneak in without paying for coat check. keep in mind, my friend was wearing a jean jacket, the bouncer said jean jackets do NOT need to be checked in. we also saw a ton of girls wearing jean jackets walk into NOTO, without checking their coat in.she ended up charging me for TWO coats then she proceeded to have an attitude and be rude to me when I questioned her for charging ME for my FRIENDS jean jacket. jean jackets are not coats. and they do not need to be checked in. she was extremely rude, petty, and childish. she also threw a hanger at my friend. very unprofessional.

Dumb lit, mixed crowd, safe. Great location and lots of square footage A-1 DJs

Never been here but reading all these reviews I wont bother to try it out. Thank you everyone who took the time and wrote a review. Im from out of town and looking for a good place to enjoy the night. Any suggestions?

Couldn’t see the artist who came at like 1:30am. The stage area was completed packed with random people and still from the top floor you couldn’t see anything. VIP had a longer wait even arriving at 11. 2nd floor VIP definitely not worth it at all! The party never got started. Ok service. You can smoke which is nice. Entrance was not at all worth the price tag. Definitely don’t go here, definitely better spots around. Price at door is less expensive than online.

We’ve VIP’d everywhere from Paris, NY and MIA. The sound system/space/venue is of course VERY nice but the most important element for us is always THE STAFF. Everyone including Mark S, Darrin, Valerie, Chris M and “our” security Eric made our night incredible. We celebrated my wife’s Birthday and NOTO was 110% first class; from our welcome, to the attention to detail (Message Shout Out on the Display!), our “on top of it” (and cute) Waitress to the Bathroom attendant. Simply Perfect. Finally, a first class experience close to Home. Thank you!

Ive been to clubs in LA, Vegas, Atlantic City, and NYC, if you are looking for a higher end experience, NOTO is the place to be. Its super clean, the staff is friendly/helpful, and the talent is top notch. Drinks are reasonably priced for the setting and bottle service is a fraction of what it costs in bigger cities. Ill definitely be back again soon!

SO MUCH FUN! Workers are great people and nice! Can’t wait to go back!

Venue looks nice, but service is absolutely terrible. I attended a private event at this venue that was staffed by NOTO employees and one of their white female bartenders was extremely rude and discriminatory against the guests. We all paid for open bar and she stayed at one end of the bar only serving men who were giving her tips in advance. The young woman then proceeded to verbally inform guests who did not flash money at her that they knew they weren’t being served because they weren’t paying her. Multiple people in the party had a similar experience and management did nothing about it, after being informed repeatedly that the employee was being disrespectful. Overall I had a poor experience in this venue and would not recommend it.

Had a really good time at Noto last weekend. I just wish I knew about the club sooner! With def return!

This place is terrible. The security there doesnt even do anything. And theyll fight you just for the sake of fighting. Tell the employee that grabbed me by the throat to work on his anger management. You can be security without putting hands on peoples throats. Thats dangerous and not to mention his excuse was, youre talking to people who are in a different section. Cmon, really? You put hands on peoples throats for talking?

Great hospitality, awesome venue with classy upscale bars, vip lounges and amazing sky view with an awesome staff. Will definitely be coming back for more fun

Dont go here. Its awful. Their employees are rude and the managers are not worth ever looking at, speaking to - they arent worth being involved with any of your senses. What Im saying is life is short and you shouldnt waste any of it at NOTO. Literally anywhere else is better...You could be watching your favorite showCalling your loved onesEating good foodGoing to any other location on the planet...

Boomer here. The best clubs in philly have come and gone; Circa, Denim, Bar Noir to name a few, Im in my late 40s and as Im reading some of these reviews, the basic consensus is buyer beware.

I went to noto with a group of friends who reserved the space upstairs and the bouncer shoved me into the group of people pushing me from behind and continued to make inappropriate and immature comments to me and my friends. Also once we got upstairs the management allowed people not on the list into our venue. We will not be going back.Please contact me for the picture of the man who is responsible.

Take a look at all the comments below, all of them are true. Dont waste your money. Both security and bouncer are junk, and the only thing they can do is accept bribes.

We recently hosted an evening reception at NOTO. Wonderful service! Our guests raved about the venue & wonderful food from Reading Terminal Market Catering! No complaints at all. We had such a wonderful time & so much fun! Everything could not have gone more smoother. Hailey and Maggie were so accommodating throughout the entire planning process. I would use this venue again & definitely recommend to others.

This is the worst club Ive ever been to. I read reviews prior but my friend wanted to go here for her bachelorette party. We have been to many clubs...very crowded clubs in Atlantic city and STILL this was the worst club experience Ive ever had and we paid over 1000 dollars to be in the vip area. So awful. I wish I would have listened to the bad reviews.

Smelled like weed, no room to dance, unprofessional staff, DJ yelled throughout the night and didn’t let anyone feel the vibe, good location but poor quality. Will never be coming back.

Came to Philly for the weekend with my boyfriend for my birthday and had tickets for NOTO. I looked up the dress code and no where does it say no shorts. But as I looked on it was plenty of people entering the club with sneakers, jeans and shorts on. No sneakers and no jeans is in the dress code but not shorts. When I explained that their website said nothing about shorts not being allowed he simply stated that it wasn’t updated. Maybe it should be updated so people would know the policies before arriving. Then wats crazy is the doorman tried to charge us extra money to turn a blind eye to my boyfriend shorts. How can you turn a blind eye to his shorts when half the men had shorts on. They all about money and it’s sad how they get over on people like that. Was looking to have a good time but that wasn’t the case. If you pay like you weigh you can get away with a lot of stuff which is not fair but who am I to say how the club should be ran. Bad experience.

First time Going overbooked had to share a section & just this past Saturday told me my section was down stairs end up being upstairs unorganized. Vip host was terrible took 3 hours to get our bottles!

This review is for the VIP host, Samer. He was super accommodating and professional.He is always very responsive and I had a very pleasant experience with him. Will come back again for sure!

My experience with going to NOTO PHILADELPHIA job fair and evening events. Also the other manager said we will call you. They never did and they will waste your time. The tickets are to high and over price. Now going into the club. When you are standing the people whom clean acts like theres a problem and to move up. When you pay your money who can tell you where to stand at.

I booked a VIP table for a big group for a celebration in January. It was almost $2000. First, we were made to wait outside for over a hour in the freezing cold. Once inside, we saw our waitress once to take our payment... which was incorrect. They would not provide me a breakdown and said there was nothing they could do about it. 45 min later and still no drinks, my husband had to go search for someone in the back to come wait on us. Finally, we got our first drinks at 1am. 2 1/2 hours after we got there. We were also not given all of our order that was paid for and when we asked for it, we were charged again! I have spent the last two months on phone calls and text messages with some dude name James who lied about his relationship with our original sales person. I have been promised a refund and still have not gotten it two months later. This place sucks.

Got free tickets for Bassjackers and had a great night. Open bar for an hour; watered down drinks except for one bartender. The opening DJs created a great vibe. Danced all night. A shame there’s no place to sit unless you’re VIP.(Sorry for leaving a bad review earlier this year Noto, I was having a bad day when I wrote it)

Amazing brawl outside the venue tonight. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Friday night fight club was in full effect. Extremely entertaining.

Came here late night with my wife and work friends after an event in the city. We got a bottle table and the service was second to none. Jamie and Shannon were our waitresses and they were terrific from start to finish -- very attentive and they couldnt be any nicer! Ive been to just about every night club in Philly and had good times at each, but NOTO is in a class of its own, so its not even fair to compare them to the competition in the city: from the first-class service, to the sound system and visuals, to the outstanding lineups they have performing each week, you will not find a better place to party in Philly! Will definitely be back soon.

Love give more but come on! Staff is great but the way the bars are set up makes it a issue to get a drink. The VIP wall wraps around the whole dance floor just makes this a glorified large lounge loud music. Ive Been to a tone of clubs and alot of different cities and the idea that it took them that long to build it the layout kills it. My 2cents

Went on a Saturday and was dead. Was ViP and they cancelled on us. They messed up so bad they said they will give us any bottle if we go back. Would not recommend .

Staff will ask you for money if you trying to go to the restroom or get back to your vip table. Better prepare your money if you are in rush. Otherwise you wouldn’t get to anyplace even you booked a huge price table.In addition, they will ask you money if you have “inappropriate” dress code.

Amazing venue!! Sounds system is pretty damn good. Service is great what more can you ask for! Hope you come out for a show see you there!

Great upscale venue, I’ve done VIP as well as GA experiences and for VIP there was incredible service from the girls & GA was enjoyable as well.Friendly staff, and quick bar!Large variety of artists from hip hop to house music. Definitely will be going again

Employees are so rude! It’s mess place

Great customer service! I purchased tickets to a show at NOTO and the artist I paid to see was switched with another artist at the last minute. I messaged NOTOs staff and they patiently explained how I could contact the promoters for a refund and I was indeed able to receive one promptly. I actually expected to not receive a response for days or to be passed off and told no refunds, and I would plan to never ever purchase tickets to a show there again. However, I was quite pleasantly surprised by NOTOs prompt and friendly response. That was a huge relief and Id be happy to patronize them again in the future based on that interaction.

NOTOs sound system has been awful over a year now. I live so close to club and I see great artists come to Noto but i choose not to go just bcoz of their terrible sound system. I rather go to Atlantic City or NY or Washington DC. The speakers are blown out and the sound echos and I dont know why the management dont get it. NOTO please get the speakers fixed I really want to see my favorite artists there.

This place is the Sugar Honey Iced Tea...

Super clean venue, sound quality was amazing. My first time there was seeing Jauz last night and had a great time. The bathrooms are some of the cleanest Ive ever seen in a club. My only complaint is the floor of the venue is pretty small, but it makes it an intimate venue.

I went to Noto for the Henry Fong show on June 21st. It was my first time ever going to Noto. I was there with a bunch of friends. We ended up in the VIP section (we were not VIP). So understandably one of the bouncers/security came up to me and grabbed me to escort me out. The way they went about it however was EXTREMELY unprofessional and quite scarring. They had me in a legitimate choke hold; I could not breathe. When we eventually made it outside one of the bouncers who was very angry threw me on the cement, then proceeded to punch me in the forehead and side of the face. He then started calling me a f***** (homophobic slur) several times. Mind you I am gay. My friends came out to see where I went and witnessed all of it. I was terrified and had an awful experience. I talked to a manager who seemed really understanding and said she would investigate and give me a call back but never did. I am seriously so disappointed, bouncers should be trained how to deal with guests properly and not abuse their power. The pictures I have attached are mostly bruises from the way security carried me out, with additional cuts and scrapes from him throwing me on the cement. The picture of my forehead is where the bouncer punched me. I want to add on in no way was I ever a threat to this guy, he is 3x the size of me. Days after I had trouble chewing because my jaw was swollen and I have been having headaches ever since, so I may have to get checked for a concussion. The whole thing was very humiliating. Its safe to say my friends and I will never be returning to Noto.

This place focuses way too much on bottle service, when I went there the dance floor was super tiny and roped off for VIP tables while 25+ booths remained empty, it was a thursday night btw and on top of that the drink were overpriced. They are a generic club at best but really try to be high class. When your patrons cant even dance and end up leaving you should look into how to make their dancing experience at a dance club more enjoyable.

I had my 30th Birthday party here I booked the VIP section .. the vip manager Joe was very professional and nice I kept calling and asking a million questions from February when I booked it until August 2019 he never not answer me .. I called the same day and he gave he $50 off my three bottles the waiters kept up with my guest requests and was very nice .. I got to see Nelly and freeway I love notoP.S. please add hookah lol thanks noto !!

Place is nice enough for what it is. Sound system is great.BUT the drinks are overpriced. I was charged 3 different prices for the same drink and each time I questioned it the bartender just shrugged. I asked for water and was told I had to pay $5 for WATER, I was told its company policy. Luckily one of the nice bartenders hooked it up and got me some free of charge. Also, mandatory coat check $10 but then a ton of people inside with coats on. Overall the place could be fun but it just feels shady and its not a business Id want to give my money to if these are the policies they enforce.

NOTO is one of the first attempts to truly change the club scene in Philly. This is truly thee premier club in Philly. For those people complaining about long lines, expensive drinks, small dance floor, etc., have obviously never been to a premier club in Miami, NYC, or Vegas, because this is the norm in those cities too. If you dont want this, go to many of the awesome pubs Philly has to offer.Ive been to NOTO four times, and each time has been with a group and we got a bottle service table. With that said, my only complaint is that our first two times there we had a bottle servers who were pretty rude (we get it..youre hot, but you can be friendly). However, the two most recent times my friends and I went, we had V as our bottle server both times and not only is she a drop dead gorgeous blonde, shes also the most friendly down-to-earth bottle server Ive encountered in all the years Ive been going to premier clubs in Miami, NYC, Vegas, and now Philly -- rare combo, so pray that you get her!Lastly, its the only club in Philly that will get the top musical artists in the industry, the sound system is amazing, the decor is fantastic, and surprisingly, for a night club with hundreds of people packed into it, its kept very clean! Best venue in Philly!

A packed venue of a few hundred people paid to get GA tickets to see Davido The night before Roots Picnic, and NOTO left us hanging for 4 hours while we endured openers that led to no headliner. To bill tickets for an artist thats not showing up (Davido never acknowledged missing this gig on his socials) is gross. To do that and then lead the crowd on in real time is exasperating in the worst ways.

Last night, there was heavy rain and Uber was taking longer than usual for everyone who was leaving the club. The bouncer made people wait out in the freezing rain, while there was plenty of room to stand inside in the coat room. Seeing a bouncer with a callous disregard for others well-being turned me off to this place.

Complete extortion artist!!!! Charged me $50 for a cover charge, and the security extorted $20 from me since I had shorts on. If your dress code is no shirts, which is not published, don’t let anybody in with shorts!!!! I saw many people with shorts on that night. After that, security again charged my date $10 to sit in a seat that nobody was sitting in upstairs at 115 in the morning. Not to mention 4 small drinks for $80 total. The owner/management should be ashamed on how there over charging and ripping off people. Don’t spend your money here!!!! I’m a business owner myself, I would never handle any of my customers like this

Been here multiple nights shorty. Over priced music u can candle to literally

I spent my birthday weekend here on a Friday, had a blast. Best electronic DJs to come to Philadelphia usually stop by here. The drinks are expensive, but its a trendy nightclub - the experience pays out for it. I highly recommend anyone celebrating their birthday to spend it at NOTO, I know Ill be back.

False advertising. The main act never shows up. Also i was assaulted by a bouncer and saw security stealing phones from people. Amazing venue but by far the worst nightlife experience I️ have ever had due to the management and security. Do not waste your time or money on this business.

Dont waste youre money. Drinks are insanely overpriced and they have a mandatory coat check that costs money but is only enforced for 30% of the guests. Smells like weed and black and milds

Good service. A group of bouncers that actually care. Eric was the friendliest employee Ive ever met at a bar. 5/5 customer service. Highly recommend

Horrible venue. Rude staff. Long lines. Oversold events. Completely packed. Will never be coming back. Had an awful experience.

I like Noto. Nice venue . However the music selection is not the best. The Techno comes randomly in the midst of a gray song the crowd vibes to. Very strange mix. But it is a diverse crowd but the DJ’s they select could be a lot better. If you like techno this maybe for you . If you don’t stay far away from this club.

This place is the worst. We went to Galantis which was completely oversold and super dangerous. If there were a fire or any emergency event we all wouldve died. Staff are extremely rude and pushy, shoving you out of the way if you are near VIP which is impossible to avoid when you have completely oversold the space. They did not scan our tickets upon entry and had no way to track how many people were inside. Even the sound system blows, Galantiss microphones werent working so you could only hear the music. The crowd is full of frat/finance bros, one of whom groped a girl I was standing next to after she turned him down. I wasnt able to use the bathroom once because the lines were so long. A bunch of peoples coats in coat check were lost at the end of the night and getting out of the club with my jacket took over a half hour. People were climbing over the coat check counter to look for their coats. I could really go on, but dont want to spend any more of my time thinking about this place. I will definitely never be back and will advise everyone I know to never go to this place, it should be shut down. Dont waste your time or money at NOTO, its an awful experience and dangerous because they prioritize making money over customer experience/safety.

Noto is presented as a High end club experience, but its completely opposite.I booked a section for my birthday with the promoter Joe. He was easy to work with and prompt in responding and answering calls. I went back and forth with him on which section to choose, and I ended up choosing a section that required a tab of $1200. I did ask before arriving if gratuity was included and was told no that its a 35% charge on top of the required tab. While waiting in the VIP line the two sections that sat before me both questioned this percentage, so its clear that is something that usually isnt disclosed. Joe offered in our convo one of the bigger sections because it was my birthday. After being seated I seen they were all the same size for the $1200 tab (which wasnt a big deal) but clearly a salesman sugar coat. After checking in, immediately upon walking into Noto all you smell is weed, its not hidden at all as everyone is smoking...which also was no big deal for me either but will give you a idea of the environment. We were escorted to the vip area and after getting seated Kelsey (I believe her name was) greeted us and got the bill and bottle selection squared away. While waiting for the bottles my mood started to change. You would think the main focus for this High end experience would be a amazing DJ who is going to deliver the best music to create and set the night... instead we were given a show from what seemed to any local artist who wanted to pick up the microphone, over horrible quality tracks and music. One of the artist made it clear he was the plug and and if we needed anything where to find him in the club lol. So after more the half of our time and has gone to local music you never heard of the DJ finally took over and played some actual good music. Around 1 am vip was no longer vip... seemed like if you were pretty enough you could easily get by the guards. Quick trip to the bathroom wasnt so quick, after standing in line and being asked to wait 3 times for the staff could go ahead of me... those sanitary wipes I keep in my bag became super useful for once as the large roll of toilet paper was just laying one the floor. On this night a group called City girls was supposed to preform. Noto closes at 2am. At 2am the feature artist still wasnt there. We left around 2:30 once city girls gave a quick two line verse and they started to play other music. Kelsey was great, she seemed to see my disconnect and asked several times was I ok. I unfortunately didnt get to tip her and I feel horrible about that. IF I ever go back I will be sure to look for her. I would def take care of her. If you got this far I did leave out two things. In convos with Joe he did agree on 4 bottles to be priced into our tab. When I got there I was told there was a service charge on the bottle that was in a sense thrown in of 25% which was about $115. I spilt our tab half cash half card. After the first large charge my bank flagged my card wouldnt allow the second small charge for the comp bottle until I confirmed it wasnt fraud because Im not from the area so I cancelled that bottle. Last, once the good music finally dropped, my husband began to throw ones in the air, a employee of Noto who was cleaning any spills in the floor came over and picked up a hand full of ones and walked away. Did we have some fun, of course, when ever liquor is involved its inevitable. Is Noto a High end experience Venue, NO. What would have made this visit more enjoyable, good music the entire night not just 25% of it. Club decor was nice. The end

Always a good vibe, big names frequently come through here. Its a bottle service club with a good club scene.

Nicest nightclub in the city by a mile - Ive been going out in philly for years and this place has no competition.. good drinks, super clean & the soundsystem knocks

Over priced and horrible DJ .

Just was here . This place is amazing from bottom to top. Amazing night club and a killer sound system (especially for the size of the venue) can get crowded but thats to be expected with a club like this . Def recommend . I had a GREAT experience with NOTO

Nice venue with great staff. Came here last week on a business trip, really enjoyed the hospitality. Will refer NOTO to my friends in Philly

The only place in Philly that does it up. If youre looking for a good time this is the place to go

Easily the best club in Philly and maybe even in the entire Northeast region! You wont find a better sound system and venue for elite performers in the city.Came her with a group of girls for Chris Lake and had a terrific experience. Vee was an awesome bottle server! We actually came back a couple weeks later because of our terrific experience with her, but unfortunately she wasnt working that night.The seating areas downstairs can get pretty crammed from the general admission people and people from other tables, so if I had to nitpick, that would be my only complaint, but that only attests to the clubs popularity. But the best way to avoid this is to get a bottle table upstairs -- and ask for Vee!

Had an amazing time here several times, saw Dada Life and the whole dance floor was covered in pillow fluff it was awesome. Pretty well known acts play here often too.

Poor management & expensive drinks. A small 8oz Rum & coke was $13. Kirill was not good and was rude to the crowd.

The atmosphere was amazing, it was an environment that was filled with energy that never died down. Highly recommend going back, fun is guaranteed!

My clients and none of their associates will ever attend this club. The management is horrible, bottle service and the VIP host are uninformed. My birthday party experience was absolute disgrace and the security thought it was okay to put their hands on me. I will never attend this club or support their business again!

Frustrating at times, but most of the staff is friendly and the music has generally been ok.

Be very careful here. My friend and I checked our coats here in March. After returning to coat check by the end of the night, we found out that our coats were given away to other patrons. Edgar, the manager, reassured us that we would be fully reimbursed for our coats, so we left into the freezing cold with at least some hope that the situation would be rectified.Well, we were wrong. After several emails and calls to Edgar, I finally got in touch with the main office, where I was assured that I would receive a call within the next few days. Its now been over a week and still no call back. Its absolutely ridiculous that we paid NOTO to lose our coats. Beware.

This place is a complete ripoff, not lit at all. Happy birthday Alexa tho

My weekends are spent at NOTO. Drinks are very expensive, but its a nightclub, nothing new. I enjoy the staff, they are very pleasant. Music is on point.

UPDATING MY PREVIOUS REVIEWI was convinced by several friends to go to NOTO for Funk Flex, despite our previous bad experience. So we got a table with a group of guys.This time around was so much better, mainly because of our bottle girl V. My previous experience was ruined by our server, but V made our night awesome with her regular checking in on us, and her POLITE and CHEERFUL personality was a refreshing surprise! We all will go back if we have her as our server.There were still a couple of other people working there (a security guard and host at the door) who seemed like they shouldnt be working in customer service because of their shortness and mannerisms, but our overall experience was good enought that we looked past these few outliers.We plan on going back Thanksgiving Week!____________________________________________________________________First of all, I never write reviews whether I have a great or bad experience somewhere, but I thought my first (and last) and last trip to NOTO was reason enough to break my trend. Further, I wish you could give stars based on various aspects of the club because certain things were great, some were okay, and some were awful.Came here with my buddies for Shek Wes. Was definitley impressed with the sound system and lighting, especially since I work in the film industry -- definitley top quality work. But then it all went downhill. We had a table and for the amount we paid for private area, you would think it would be just us, but other tables by us with way too many people kept coming into our area which caused problems and near fights.We then told our waitress Bree (or Breeanna or whatever her real name is) about our issue and she was rude and unprofessional. I will never understand why some bartenders, bottle girls, and bouncers not only get an inflatted ego over their role, but also think their job gives them a license to be rude and not treat customers well. Hate to say, but if I want to look at half naked women, Ill go to a strip club where albiet fake, the girls are at least friendly (because they know their income depends on it!)! Her comments and agressive physical manner when pushing my buddies out of the way was just uncalled for.Along with two other of my buddies, we actually were so turned off with the rudeness and eventual lack of attention that we just gave our paying friend our cut of the bill and left the table area to go over to the bar and get drinks from there. The guy bartender (I didnt get his name) was just as much living up to the ego thing as Bree. We got three mixed drinks and paid $60. I get this is a club, Im okay paying $60 for three well-drinks somehwere else, but this is Philly, dont try to be something youre not. To make matters worse, I kid you not, the drinks were served in little plastic cups that are typically used for water coolers!You couldnt pay me to go back to NOTO.

Promised performer would be one by 12 and didnt come out until 2 am and then only played for 15 min. I have heard from friends that this has happened before with other events of theirs. They have no regard for you or the money you pay. They also have horrible DJs to fill the gap. dont waste your time/money!

Let me tell you a little story about this club. NOTO is possibly the most over rated and over hyped club in Philadelphia. I have never felt so uncomfortable in my life because of the horrible management. I felt so unsafe and many of the employees were not doing their jobs. For example the coat check staff actually told us they just don’t want to check our coats. There was no valid reason, but they just said no. The bouncers had to be bribed to let ticketed customers in the club after customers spent $136 to get in the first place. Not only that they served beer in glass beer bottles, which is obviously incredibly dangerous. Glass was all over the floor and someone even cut their foot and they did not provide her any form of first aid, not even a band aid. This place is a joke and there are many safer venues that people can enjoy in Philly. DO NOT COME HERE!

I really wish I could leave negative stars. Ive made the mistake of paying to see two rappers here and have been scammed both times. First, I went to see Lil Uzi Vert, who was supposed to start performing a little after 12AM and didnt even show up until after 2AM. He then proceeded to (badly) lip-synch two of his songs before he left after 15 minutes. It was pathetic. But, at the time, I gave NOTO the benefit of the doubt and thought it was a one-time thing. The second time, I went to see Meek Mill, a rapper Ive been a huge fan of for a long time. NOTO promised hed be on by 1AM. The DJ kept announcing Meek Mill is in the building. But, by 2:30AM, he hadnt actually showed up. I was done with all of this nonsense. Meek never showed up and I went home, having wasted money on a fake ticket and more on drinks. To add insult to injury, I later saw an instagram of Meek performing at ANOTHER VENUE that same night. Twice in a row Ive been scammed by NOTO and I hope my story serves as a warning to everyone else not to spend their money here to see performers who will never actually show up, let alone perform. Its all a scam.

I honestly don’t know and just have a few questions how old to enter?

My experience was good at first but then I wasnt let into a section because Im a gay man by the security. He was willing to let my friends in but when I came to me he said no .

Not bad

Actually i dont like to do bad reviews but I need do it.Bad experience. They lost my jacket last night with my car keys that i had inside. I paid for my jacket for safety. So i have take taxi to go home.I live so far from cc . I have leave my car in the parking lot just because they lost my jacket and my keys car. Now i have to pay $400 just to get new key because they lost my keys! How you give my jacket to someone else! Youre answer was just I dont know i cant find your jacket! How you cant find my jacket, i paid, i had ticket. Also, I sow someone else that he said same think you gives him wrong jacket and he left with this jacket!You should fix this problem guys because we pay for it and we respect you when we come there. We should do same thing.

WARNING DO NOT BUY TICKETS IN ADVANCE TO ANY SHOW AT NOTO!! This is literally the only time that I have been angered enough to write a review. This is NOT a venue, this is a club. Paid for tickets to see elephante, showed up at door, and was turned away by a bouncer for wearing sneakers....to an edm/dance show......despite having already paid in advance for tickets. Asked to talk to manager and was told no one was available. Saw terrible reviews for this venue yet tried to stay optimistic; can confirm that this venue is as bad as every other review has stated. No need to trash any further; will never return to NOTO and I highly recommend all others take reviews seriously before considering arriving at this location.

Arrived ~25 minutes after doors were supposed to open. Bouncer was rude, he let us in, got our tickets scanned and then we were told that we had to go back outside (!!!) and wait because they werent ready. In the 30 degree cold. In clubwear. Venue was nice, but not the best first impression from some of the staff.

My original post was a negative review about bar etiquette but Zach, and Director of venue entertainment, impressed me by handling the situation quickly and taking action. This restored my confidence in Noto and made me feel my complaint was recognized and remedied professionally. I loved the scene and I will be back. Thanks Noto & Zach.

This was a terrible experience. I never write bad reviews, however if I could give this club 0 stars I would. My friends and I paid $100+ to get into this club for New Years Eve and they were so overbooked they couldnt let us in. I would say roughly 200 or so people werent let in as well. I did expect a wait, with it being New Years Eve, but this was ridiculous. I would not recommend Noto to anyone.

Not sure why this has so many bad reviews....went here for the first time recently to see Krewella; sound was amazing. I had no problems with the bouncers. Actually I had no problems at all. The only main negative about this place is that it is very, VERY small. Possibly the smallest venue Ive ever been to. Also, I was annoyed that the upstairs VIP section was roped off the entire night, but there was NO ONE OCCUPYING IT. What a waste.However, other than that...drinks are expensive just like anywhere else in Philly...check the website for the dress code and address for parking....overall Id go back again if someone I really like is playing there.

Bouncer assaulted me and kicked me out for excessive dancing after I spent over 100$ on drinks. Stay away at all cost. Do not come here you will regret it.

Security were mean and aggressive for no reason, Against people who were just standing there minding there own buisness. Dont know if they were trying to prove a point, but terrible establishment.

Why so many bad reviews, this place is amazing. you wont find another venue in philly that brings these top notch DJs around.

The worse club hot as ever ... all the money they make the need to regulate the temperate Ive been to other big name clubs and its always a decent temp... IF YOU BUY TICKETS TO SEE AN ENTERTAINER (i.e. Migos ) WHO I BOUGHT TICKETS FOR LAST NIGHT THEY DID NOT COME OUT ALL NIGHT !!! We were all packed in this club waiting they finally came out at 1:50 AM !!! Ten minutes before the club closed !! FALSE ADVERTISMENT !!! Never ever going back !!!

Finally a club that brings the best djs!! Shot of tequila is $14..little expensive in my opinion but a great club overall.

Attended Galantis on Saturday November 10th. They over sold the event by atleast 500 tickets. Unacceptable and just unsafe. Do not attend, go elsewhere.

This place is a plague on the neighborhood its in and I hope it goes away. Owner has no respect for near by residents and its the kind of place I would never hang out in more than once for pure curiosity.

Went here and bought bottle service was promised 2 bottles of vodka for $400 get to the table with menu “ our cheapest bottle is $300 “ I don’t mind spending money but don’t lie to me. Wait staff was unfriendly, host unfriendly, bartenders were rude. A friend of mine was assaulted by club staff then kicked out for no reason. 20 mins later after not being involved they kicked me out with 2 bottles still there. Once outside club security stole my friends wallet when we asked for his wallet they said we don’t have it. We called the cops, cop came asked for his wallet magically they found it. Worst experience ever. Save yourself your time. Your money. Why would you spend money at a place who treat you like garbage after taking your money then assaults you and steals your wallet.UPDATE 5/17/19****** 5 star4/19 Sara contacted me from NOTOS marketing and invited me back with 2 tickets to see Steve Aoki Which I declined due to the fact it was not what I had lost the initial visit with bottle service and vip access. We agreed on a different night with 2 comped bottled and a table. Upon arrival i was directed to the other door which I was greeted by the host I cannot remember his name however he was younger and pleasant vs your typical host at a club whos busy looking and rushing you in and pushy. We were directed to out table and greeted by our table host who was blonde I forget her name also but she was helpful, Dylan was also out table host he and other staff would always make sure we had everything that we needed constantly but not interrupting like most host or servers would be. overall the night was great and I couldnt complain about something even if I wanted too. This review was updated out of free will and they did not ask me to do so. I actually was sober the whole night due to no being able to drink due to medicine so the comped bottles did not compel me to write this. I still had a good time and will definitely come back. Thank you Gary

Ridiculously expensive, $30 cover and $7 for a coors light. Plus they charged us $5 for a bottle of water because their tap was broken....

Amazing first night at NOTO for 3lau. Definitely will be back next weekend. Great service. Table reservations were sick. Its a must visit for the clublife

A big city club in Philly- finally! From the decor to the staff is great- ive been here on 2 occasions and never felt unsafe or was treated incorrectly as some other reviews say- does the place get packed? Sure does! Its a night club and it attracts tons of different people that comes with different behavior now u toss in some liqour and vuala! But that isnt the venues fault its a night club not Sunday mass- I think drink prices are good not watered down and the dj line ups are always great! You have to be a clubby person to enjoy NOTO if your a wall hugger dont even bother- lol

Worst place in america

Went for a Thursday show. The tickets said it would start at 10pm, but they didnt open doors till almost 11pm, we actually almost just left and went home. Once we were inside, the venue was exactly as youd expect for a clubby venue. I think they went alittle overboard with the bottle service sections (they take up the majority of the venue), but the show wasnt sold out, so it wasnt a huge deal for us - we had plenty of room.Drinks werent particularly outrageous. I think Id only come back for someone I really want to see and if it was on the weekend. For people with normal 9-5 jobs, this is a pretty late night.

So.. My friend spent 700 dollars on a bottle of vodka so I dont even want to know what he spent on a vip table for the night. Despite him dropping like 3 gs in 2 minutes, the staff was rude, short and unwilling to do anything beyond the bare minimum of their job requirements. For 3 grand we waited in line for the bathroom (had to beg to use it just prior to last call) and waited in line for drinks- having been treated like aholes the entire time we were there. May be a fun place but would save wadds of cash for establishments that know what to do with them.

Great venue, speakers are too loud, but great venue.

Love it here

Noto hosted a dj I was extremely fond of. I bought a ticket in advance. Even though I bought a ticket In advance I was waiting in a tremendously long line in the cold for over an hour. When I asked what line to stand in, people to buy tickets and already purchased tickets were put in the same line. Making the line process very long and unorganized. Then the dj I bought my tickets for did not even play. I had to go up to staff to ask what is going on, and they just told me to call the manager in the morning. Worst experience..

This place is dangerous, they dont care about safety or integrity all they care about is making money. The bouncers did not have any concern for safety. The coat check was a joke. We kept questioning them after they said they did not have hangers or space for our coats and finally they just said We just dont want to do it. There was shards of glass all over the club, and we didnt realize we were dancing on it until the lights turned on. This is an incredibly dangerous club please do NOT go.
