I went there for the firt time this past weekend and I had a really good time. The DJ played great music and the atmosphere was fun. I will def go back again. They close at 3:30 AM and there was a $20 cover charge but it was def worth the money.

Nice music and crowd... if theyll actually let you in. Was at the front of the line, only for them to hold the line up. Ended up leaving after being in the same spot for half an hour... while they let others right in.

Very selective of who actually gets in. Waited thirty mins to even get acknowledged by the workers outside before being told the line was on the opposite side when we were the only people in line. Security was rude too. Most likely not going again.

The venue was an intimate size, smaller than your classic club. Drinks prices were pretty standard ($10,11). The only off-putting thing was that the bouncers were slightly rude and aggressively stopping you to check if you were 21 by shining a light in your face/your wrist to check for a wristband.

The security at the front gate is very rude. My group and I were standing at what we thought was the line (3 ppl ahead of us), there was nobody else outside trying to get in accept for us & when he got us he turned his back to us and closed the gate and didnt say anything. About 15 seconds later he turned around and then said the line is over there this line is for staff only.

Good Lounge once you get inside. The bouncers and workers outside are highly rude. I watched as a girl asked a question about how much the club was. And the guy at the table by the door told she can go some where else if she desire without answering the question. I thought that was kind of mean.

Place wasnt to bad its a nice spot to go to for after hours but the set up was a bit weird. Was kind of like being in a wide hallways wasnt really set up right. the music was pretty good and the crowd wasnt bad. It was very busy and hard to get to the bar but overall good experience. Recommended

It can be a hit or miss. The $20 charge especially with coming after 2am is ridiculous. They definitely are getting over with this one. Usually this is a go to after hour spot. The music can be really good on Saturdays but I noticed after coming here a couple times the DJ plays the same retired songs. Not the best playlist but this depends on the DJ of course . Overall if your visiting philly give it a try after you went to the club or had an amazing night out . It is a good crowd overall.
