I celebrated my birthday the past 2 years and they were both a huge success. I booked private parties with Angela and she was the best! great communication with her before, during, and after the day. She went above and beyond to make sure my birthday was perfect I have sent a couple bachelorette parties there as well and they could not have been better! I cannot wait to book more events with Vesper and Ang in the future!

I had the most amazing experience here celebrating my birthday with the bottomless mimosas brunch/day party! You would never guess that it’s daytime with the lights dimmed, music blasting, drinks flowing and dancing on the table tops! A must do for sure!!

We were shamelessly overcharged for our group of 55 people at Party Brunch. The club told us they would count our guests, then told us they were charging per glass removed from our bucket. Um, whos to say another party didnt take our glasses to not get charged for theirs? Also charged us for a meal delivered to our table during the party that no one ate...again, was probably meant for another table. Good vibes, but wont go back because Ive already paid more than I expected and dont plan to give them more business. Chaos needs to be controlled.

Very HIP little place in CC.. great music and service... Ive been to the Vesper Poolclub before. Definitely would party here again

Amazing speakeasy. I couldnt ask for a better vibe. The ambiance cant be rivaled. The live band was perfect. All they were missing was a woman dressed like Billie Holiday. I definitely wanna go back

If you get booked for a table or bar upstairs for weekend brunch, cancel your reservation because its not worth it. You pay the same as people downstairs in the main room and youre not getting the same experience. Different DJ, different music, lights stay on the whole time. You can go downstairs but you dont have your own space and your champagne is upstairs. Disappointing. Upstairs should be cheaper if they are going to use that space.NoLibs location is smaller but there is not a bad spot in the entire place. Way better than Center City in my opinion.

Not a very diverse crowd at all. DJ was decent. But the people are just so drunk and out of control. The space is small so people just bump into you for no reason. Heard they have a brunch - its a Hard Pass for me.

The place is awesome, good music if you like HOUSE then go behind the bookcase that opens out to walk downstairs to dance to HOUSE music, DJs Ricko and Tony will keep you jamming on the dance floor, Its also multi leveled for different party atmosphere, I always have a great time there

Attended on a Sunday morning/afternoon with a party of approximately 10. This place has a great atmosphere. The music has variety and spans multiple generations. The servers are very attentive and beautiful to boot. Drinks are reasonably priced and bottomless mimosas for brunch on Saturday & Sunday will only cost you $35. You have to pour your mimosas on your own though. They give you the bottle of champagne and a bottle of orange juice on the table for you to perfect you mimosa combination. The biggest downside is that I had to wait 2+ hours for food. I ordered French toast and a side of bacon and it took forever for it to arrive. The rest of my party received their food and was mostly done before my food arrived.

It was a very nice day club. Its looks like a night club, once you get inside. I would recommend it.

Walked in on a tuesday and was greeted right away. There’s new management and they were extremely helpful and polite. I even got to taste the menu that was coming out today! Cocktails are tasteful. I had the old fashioned (delicious with the vanilla), flower sour was so light and refreshing and last but not least i had to try the gritty. Thanks Ryan! See you soon

Some of the best food Ive had in a long time. Very creative spins on some traditional plates. Staff is amazing and the drinks are great. Love this place. Theres also a speakeasy to figure out.

I went to an event in the basement. Great atmosphere, the sliders were delicious as well as the whiskey drinks. Service was limited for the event i was at, not sure why it as so sparse given the amount of people that signed up tho be there... but it was nice. Def not for a crowd, more intimate setting.

Came here for my birthday over the weekend and had an amazing time as usual. Angela was our server and made sure we had everything we needed. She went above and beyond to make sure the night was amazing.I will definitely be returning soon and will request Angela again! Thank you Vesper!

Went here for bottomless brunch on a Saturday with a group of about 10 and we all had an awesome time. Our server Angela was great, it seemed like there was always a full bottle of champagne on our table. Its probably the only party brunch scene in Philly that is anywhere close to to what you can find in NYC. Would definitely go back again

Saturday mid-day brunch felt like a Saturday night party at a modern trendy club. What a fun day my friends had last weekend. The mimosa deal was fantastic and the food was generous and tasty. The DJ, sound system, and TVs were cutting edge. Servers and hosts were first class. I begrudgingly went for a boy band themed brunch and had a great time. Ive had cocktails at the front bar several times but the back main room steals the show. Im looking forward to bringing a group for football and buckets of fried chicken.

Not a great experience. Came with a group of girls after talking to one of the managers leading up to the event. Was supplied with a bottle list with specified prices. When we arrived, however, the bottle menu prices was completely different (prices were much higher of course). The atmosphere was fun for the most part, but something as simple as being honest about the prices is so simple. I am more than happy to pay high prices in exchange for a fun night, but if you want to charge X amount, do it and be upfront about the price from the get-go and dont try to be sneaky.

Trying to get a hold of these people is impossible! No one answers the phone or texts. Very unprofessional!

After moving to PA a few days ago, my girlfriend and I are on a quest to find the best brunch spots in Philly and surrounding areas, and this was our first spot.We appreciate that this place does brunch both on Saturday and Sunday, we don’t see that a lot where we’re friends. We were pretty surprised at the price of endless mimosas, $25 for just drinks. Where we’re from endless mimosas are usually between $12-16, for $25 we could get an endless breakfast brunch.The food was ok. I got the chicken and waffles which I was a bit disappointed in. The chicken was more like adult chicken tenders and not fried chicken wings. The breading they had was very interesting but I hate it nonetheless. I would’ve appreciated some actual wings or something like that.The atmosphere was pretty fun, we got there at 12:30 and were the only ppl there. Next time we will make a reservation so we can come later once it starts getting full. The music was decent but definitely started picking up once we were ready to go around 4pm.All in all it was a cool experience for our first Philly brunch. Not sure if we would do it again on our own, maybe when we have friends in town.

Excellent dining as ND a parking garage two doors away

I had an awesome time here over the weekend. I came for brunch with the girls and had Bottomless Mimosas. Our server Preach was an absolute delight!!! He made sure we had everything we needed before we could even think to ask! He made certain that all we had to think about was having a good time! And on top of everything the brunch and drinks were delicious! I would definitely come back again!!!

Philadelphia has been lacking a consistent brunch day party scene forever. It was refreshing to finally find a place that catered to exactly that. DJ Solo was amazing. The setup with the bottomless mimosas is exactly the feel you get from other popular cities like Atlanta and Washington DC. This place will be a staple in my visits back home to Philadelphia

I come here ALL the time for the fun atmosphere and delicious food. I dont know who is back there making the chicken but its amazing. Its not your typical brunch spot either- that place is bumpin! The guys at the door are strict with the dress code, so you have to come correct. Ask for Danny Diamonds!

Went here for New Years Eve where I was guaranteed all you can eat food and an open bar. Unfortunately, I was not served a drink within 15 minutes unless I was WAVING around a cash tip (even after paying $120 to attend the event!). Also, it was mentioned that a variety of menu choices for the all you can eat menu would be available, including vegan options. However, the only thing that was prepared was a tray of ham and cheese scattered all over the table. Overall it was not a terrible experience, but it definitely fell short of expectations.

Good bar and atmosphere, drinks are expensive and some of the people who go are pretentious and stush. Good night out if you catch the right crowd.

I have been signing up for a membership for about 3 years to become a member of the day club and I still have not gotten anybresponse. I’ve called,emailed, texted, and even reached out on social media everyone says the same thing “they’re still taking applications “ but NO ONE REACHES OUT ! They ask for your credit card information during the sign up but can’t inform you on your application status. I understand this is a private facility but common courtesy as a business is very appreciated. I wanted to have a private party but I cannot due to me not being a member. I know that they are open and have accepted a lot of applications. I’ve been waiting for to long just to know about a status.

Great music and atmosphere!

Very loud and crowded with okay music. Their website states complimentary coat check, yet they charge $3... Not fighting to go back any time soon.

Very competent and friendly staff here made for a great night.

Cool place. Service could improve a bit. Food runner was more concerned about what the server wrote down vs what was order by the customer. I also asked for a medium burger it came out extremely well done. They also ran out of henny after two drinks.

The short version of this review is the the customer service is horrible and reservations are not honored.After making a reservation about a month prior I was informed that my seating could not be accommodated in the main room because there was a change in management. The management did not hand over any prior reservations and the only ones that were honored were the ones hand written on a piece of computer paper. This whole time I was talking to Tim who is apparently the owner and after dealing with him Im thinking he may want to be a silent partner but I digress. Tim took me to the main area to tell me that it is only for bigger parties and my party of four would only be able to sit in there on a slow day. He told me that even if my reservation was passed on that we would be bumped for bigger parties because they need the space. We made a comment about how that was not a good business practice and he just shrugged his shoulders. At that time he offered us a table by the bar/by the door and we would still be able to freely float between the table and main room. I expressed my concern with that because I am not ok with leaving cups and food unattended because there is the possibility of anything happening to my food or drinks, worse case drugging. Tim then became very upset and started yelling at me accusing me of yelling at him and insinuating that I have been drugged in his establishment. I informed him that I was not yelling and I did not say I was drugged. I then asked if he was going to help me as promised or not, he then told me to leave. While I understand that it may be a hectic time because all of the management left/was fired, I will not accept being treated and talked to any kind of way because of internal issues.

What a find! Had a going away party here, and was pleasantly surprised at the place, the service, and the food/drink. All were top notch. Had a solo guitar player playing during our party. Staff was very attentive, and the drinks and food were quickly delivered. Would certainly go back again.

Food is fine, club scene is fine, but god damn. They should not serve brunch or need to figure out a way to serve it in the club setting because no one can hear anything when they are trying to serve food. Everyone is confused and food has to be tried, realized it’s not right, then passed to the right person. Feel like there are simple solutions to this problem but just ignored. Def moreof a club which is fine, but figure it out if your going to offer it as a combo sort of thing

Everything was top shelf, including the service! The food is DELICIOUS!!!!

We arrived at Vesper expecting a fabulous brunch. Not the case at all walking in this venue. We may have been late however the nasty service and unprofessionalism was out of order. Utterly classless. We have received better service at the Ritz Carlton in Center city!!! Who asks for 200 dollars to hold on a credit card when we are paying cash!!!! Two hours wasted. We paid for hourly parking to come to Vesper. Philadelphia is not close!!! We all drove an hour. This was supposed to be a celebratory day for our sister whose relocating!

If there was an option for zero stars I would give it. Made reservations for brunch in the main room and showed up on time and there was no host at the desk. Waited over 10 minutes for someone to show up while other staff just walked by us ignoring us. Finally after the host showed up, I was told there was an issue with the table and we had to be put in a corner by ourselves outside of the main room. If I wanted to eat in a corner by myself, I can do that at home and with better music. Save your money for places that appreciate your choice to spend it with them. And I planned on doing bottle service, but I guess I didn’t look the part.

I have heard nothing but great things but I’m so sad to say that after multiple emails and a phone call that no one has gotten back to me about a girls weekend. If you all want me to provide some great brunch places in philly that are equally as great then let me know because apparently I wasn’t worthy of an accommodation to this establishment which is a shame.

Delicious food, spectacular service and an absolutely amazing voice by Genevieve, the singer, on Monday night.It was a quiet Monday night and we decided to celebrate my birthday dinner at Vesper. The food was amazing. Pork belly was the best we have ever had. Perfectly crisp on the outside and melted like butter in the middle. Our server was extremely knowledgeable and helped guide us through the menu. He went above and beyond to make our evening the best. I wish I remembered his name but he had a high pony tail.Genevieve was the best addition to an amazing evening. She sang with so much passion in her voice and we couldnt get enough. Highly recommend this place.

Great place for a nicer dinner or cocktails. Different nights of the week bring a different crowd. Sometimes low key, other times more party. Food is delicious, but on the pricier side. Vegetarian options. Staff is friendly and accommodating.

Went here for the first time with my friends last night thinking it would be a good atmosphere, and the bar staff was extremely rude. Very careless and slow on purpose. The bartender handed my friends drink to her and it spilled, my friend apologized and the bartender said in an extremely nasty way, “you act like it’s my fault”. Another bartender snapped his fingers at us and said hurry up when we were getting our payment out! I work in the restaurant industry and have bartended for 5 years and have never experienced such a careless and condescending bar staff. Made it a point to write a review for how strongly I feel about this and I’m not one to write reviews. Would stay clear of this place.

This place is extremely UNPROFESSIONAL! I called and sent multiple detailed messages... via voicemail and email regarding my sisters 40th birthday! .... NOBODY BOTHERED TO CALL ME BACK OR TEACH OR ON ANY LEVEL! I called both locations and the same HORRIBLE.... LACK OF CUSTOMER SERVICE! ITS OK.....I just took my party off 15 along with our moneyto an establishment who wanted and appreciated my business! The sad part is Ive been here before which is why I wanted to celebrate such an important milestone bday there. So now my whole family and guests knows to stay FAR AWAY from BOTH of your establishments! Learn how to exhibit PROPER customer service and learn how to reply to messages... or remove messages s an option and answer a phone! That was another part of the problem....I literally called more than 5 times which is unacceptable on every level! I wish half a star was an option because thats exactly what your business would have received!

Waited over two and half hours to get food I understand it can busy at times but just let your guest know about the situation going on

Great place, great Happy hour

I had the worst experience at this place. As I was leaving waiting for my Lyft inside. The guy at the door says you can’t wait and hereyou need to get out cuz I’m trying to get home and close. As im trying to explain to him I’m waiting for my Lyft and its cold outside and I’m by myself he tells me I don’t care I’m trying toGo home and as I’m trying to exit he slams the door quick as one of legs is half way out and slams the door on me. I ask him what is his name and what is the owners name and he rudely says I’m am owner which I know someone as rude and ignorant as him was not. He was an African American male who works the door who needs to be fired. I will be contacting the better business bureau on this place and will not not be returning and would advise no one to visit or spend money at this establishment if they are ok with hiring people that act rude and nasty to the public like that.

Best bar in philly

I dunno...Turn the game uP ️

Its very fun

Great place good time

Definitely a place with great quality service. You never know what to expect from Vesper. I enjoyed the people and the secret password that was used. I was well taken care of and I am sure you will have a great time too. I dont want to spoil the fun time I had learning about Vesper so I encourage you to witness it yourself!

Amazing place, very beautiful, awesome set up. Staff was really cool, drinks were perfect and food was amazing !

Bartenders are rude!!. they play good music but the venue itself is terrible. dont waste your time folks

Virtually nothing on the menu especially for the main course to choose from, overpriced small plates, most food is too salty. Cant hear each other speak if you are eating there during an open mic night - so there is obviously no sound check going on for each performer. Bar is good and deserts are good though.

I went out to have a fun night with my friends, and the bartenders were extremely RUDE! I’ve never been spoken to in this manner from anyone in the service industry. It is very clear they do not like their jobs and don’t want to serve people by the way they treat their customers.

Too pricey tables not worth the money

Manager was very rude. We made reservations for 12pm on a Sunday and we’re not given a table because a party of 20 came in just before us without reservations. No accommodations were made for us & the bartenders laughed at us because we were upset.

The food was good, but there were inordinately long wait times in between courses, and also at least twenty minutes between our asking for the bill and actually receiving it. We are not calling back.Full disclosure: We were there for restaurant week, but I think thats not a good reason for poor service.

Great music and atmosphere

Had a lecture hosted here. Food was excellent! Drinks were awesome!

My favorite place to go out and have a good time with my girls!!

It had great music but the dance floor is insanely crowded

I came for the super bowl party from 2 hours away and this place was worth the drive in its self top shelf atmosphere the DJ was great the drinks were served very quickly especially with the crowd being so large the bouncers were great I had one issue with a misunderstanding on a charge and Drew had my issue taken care of in a matter of hours that most businesses would have taken days or weeks I will definitely be traveling down for a weekend trip to the Vespers again

This establishment changed owners in the last year and they refused to honor a coupon in a Philadelphia dining book. This is not the same place the previous reviewers are describing. The food is just regular bar fare.

ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS PLACE!!! I meant to write this review months ago but im a busy girl lol any who.....OMG, its so hard sometimes as a person in the LGBTQ community to find hang spots that dont look at you funny or judge you, like Ive been treated so bad at other places but Vesper makes me feel accepted. One night I was feeling depressed, the handsome security man that watches Mom (she said I could call her that lol love her) like he hugged the people in front of me, and when it was my turn to come in I asked for a hug, I thought he wouldnt just because of who I am, OMG he gave me the tightest strongest hug EVER he hugged my sadness away. LOL of course I asked him how to get another hug like that next time lol He said to bring him some chocolate chip cookies lol I was surprised, so i told all my girls when they come to bring chocolate cookies to the sexy green eyed man with glasses. LMAO i wish all men were that easy lol

Great accommodations for the post college party enthusiast. Sticky seats but banging sound system.

Cool atmosphere. Downstairs bartender was awesome. Burlesque show was entertaining as well.

Came to vesper for an event. A burlesque show. I would have had a great time if I didnt feel ignored. In addition to the show there was supposed to be a cocktail hour and food. Drinks took forever and we werent seen by a waiter to order food until the show is almost over. I think they should rethink the event spaces size and the # of ppl to a show so that everyone is easily accommodated in the future. I would say 2.5 stars.

Food was good, but overpriced. Service was terrible; they were understaffed on the night we went; although the manager did comp us drinks in return, when he finally made it over. The classic supper club atmosphere was non-existent, due to the managements unwillingness to muzzle a table full of 15 loud drunks in the middle of the dining room, who were totally ignorant of the other diners. Most amazing epic fail: the music - it was BLUEGRASS! No offense to its fans, or to hipsters who read in Rolling Stone that its cool now ( or to the band, who were talented - Man About A Horse ) - but most people who are hungry for a return of the classic urban supper club vibe would agree - this is the least appropriate genre for that venue; north of Alabama...! We wont be returning...

Awesome tv set up for fights and games. Good atmosphere

Great food, great drinks, and awesome crowd. Pricey but a great time

I did like Vesper. It has a real neat surprise in the basement, BUT their Moscow mule was horrendous. The worst I have ever had and to for the prime price it is not worth it. I hope the bartenders see this because come on! You guys would be ashamed!!!

Atmosphere and vibe were great (before 10pm at least). However, the food and service left a lot to be desired, especially for the prices.

Fantastic drinks and great bar staff... Awesome music on Wednesdays

Dont let the 4.2 fool you... this place is top shelf! The service and food at Vesper made this 5 star review not only much deserved by the Vesper crew but a must! My fiancé and I had an overnight layover in Philly and decided to drop in on a whim for some late night food. Before we even arrived, we called ahead to make the sure the kitchen would be open. Jeanette (who makes a mean cocktail by the way) answered the phone promptly. Score! Kitchen closed at 11pm that night. This speakeasy-esque establishment greeted us with a killer oyster service (nope, we arent embarrassed to say we at 2 dozen), a stocked bar, an amazing app & entree menu curated by chef Corey (who is a total sweetheart). He even took the time to walk us through his menu AND make personal recommendations. I had the crabmeat stuffed trout (which was caught the day prior). My fiancé had the bone-in NY strip (he wouldnt stop raving about it). Overall, this place just straight up kicks ass.

Overcharged on drinks. 3 drinks ordered charged for 6. Dishonest staff. Do not patronize this place if you value the money you work hard for.

Awesome food both in the restaurant and bar and love the entertainment!! Get the secret code and have fun!!

Great food...live music... Dancing... Great service

Great vibe, especially when Philly Jazz Nite Out hosts one of its jazz shows.

Super cool speakeasy in the city with a great selection of spirits.

Loving the redone style, Vesper!Was very surprised that on a late Tuesday night, this place still had a live, talented artist playing and there was a decent amount of people inside.The drinks are...legit. So given that I am a recent college grad and am only recently developing a palette away from vodka in plastic handles, I was surprised. The martini, the manhattan, the cosmo, all legit. No frills, no fruity add-ons. Like Ron from Parks and Recs would probably love this place. While I might just opt for a fruity drink next time, I appreciate the vibe they have going and how they are true to their image.Friendly staff!

I would give this place 3.5 stars.Positive: the lobster busque, filet mignon, and seabass were fantastic! The jazz singer was nice.The negative: mojitos that were ordered did not taste like they have ANY alcohol. Upon bringing this to the waiters attention, his reply was that if we order more drinks, he would made sure they would include extra alcohol.The spinach and mash potatoes were WAY over salted.For the amount they charge i do not think this is a good value.

What an amazing place amazing food and fantastic staff excellent entertainment without question the best venue in philadelphia

Great Food, Service and a great live blues band and singer the night we were there.

Good spot

Excellent happy hour choices 4pm-7pm.

Member 2000; very nice for business lunch.
