This was our 1st time as we came with a few friends that were familiar with this venue from previous events. Parking was in the grass as we got there a bit earlier however, parking was a nightmare getting out after concert. Please listen to me~park further away on the street and take the long walk in the beginning so you can easily get out at the end. Tip #1 They have food vendors and food trucks which we got the loaded nachos which was just ok. We purchased lawn seating as personal seats/folded chairs are not allowed. Lawn seats were reserved in advance at the time of ticket purchase for $10 each. Upon arrival you can pick up your reserved lawn seats. The weather was perfect. The screens to see the artist and sound were great. It's was a great experience. A lot of walking is required so bring comfortable shoes. Tip#2 I may consider returning at some point.

First time here and was thoroughly impressed…read more Jeremy and I took a friend to see the perfect circle, primus, puscifier show and had a blast. We were escorted to the entrance, never had to go through security, they never even checked to see if we had tickets. We had lawn seats, but talked to the guy in guest services to get upgraded to pavilion, where it's flatter (and thus safer) for my wheelchair. Plus the upgrade meant we would have stayed dry, if it had rained, and we could actually see the stage. We were given two folding chairs by Mike, the guy in charge of ADA seating, and never asked once about our tickets (unlike at Jiffy Lube live where you have to pretty much have them plastered to your forehead). Parking was right outside the entrance and it took very little time to exit the lot to get back on the road. I loved the accessibility of the venue. Family bathroom is in guest services, and was clean and large enough. The fries sucked. Really. That's like the only bad thing I have to say about the place. Oh and they're a "straw free venue" which is a bit annoying for those of us who shake and rely on straws for hydration, but I clearly survived. Totally recommend.

I went to the Skyline Stage for a sold out show. Getting into the venue was easy…read more After passing through security, there were lots of food stands I was pumped to see that one of the stalls offered the Legendary Burger (a vegan burger created by graduates of HBCUs). The burger at the venue is typically served with cheese. No biggie, I thought, just don't put cheese on one. I asked for it without. The lady at the register said she would need to grab a manager because it comes with cheese on it. The manager informed me that she would see what she could do because the grill person was in a mood. The feeling I got was that this would inconvenience the griller. She came back, told me she had taken care of it but that it would be a bit longer of a wait. About seven minutes later I had the burger in hand and it was so good! I made my way to the lawn to see the show and it was only then that I realized that my not arriving early and dilly dallying with food had created a huge issue. I couldn't actually see the band easily from any of the remaining spots. My wife and I squeezed into a spot that allowed me to bounce between the stage and the huge tv screen but she had to rely solely on the tv screen to see the show. Considering what tickets cost, I was a bit annoyed that a concert venue would have such poor sightlines. It's not all annoying. The Skyline Stage is cool because it is outdoors and has a great view of the city. The sound and ambiance are incredible. But, because of the poor sightlines, I probably won't return here for another show.

Parking was also easy but hard to find my car when I left:/ public transpo is also easy to take to get here FYI. Not just a beautiful view of the city, but the crowds, lines, beverage and food spots were all easy to access and again- nice people! It's worth catching a show here, regardless if it's an artist you love. I felt like I was at a country club lol (especially compared to Philly outdoor spaces like Camden or the festival pier [RIP]). If you're a music fan this is such a good spot to catch anyone's show and felt like a step up from every outdoor concert I went to growing up. Could not have asked for a better first day of fall than crying to phoebe bridgers under the moon, in the park. She was excited to sell out the show too!

The Library Bar is one of my favorite places to drop into when I'm in the Rittenhouse area. Located…read morein the hotel lobby, the place is serving up tasty cocktails with an intimate ambiance. It's not usual for me to request the group pop in if we're just walking by. The bevs are always on point and the bar tenders have extensive knowledge on the menu and just overall mixology. Not uncommon for me to ask the staff to "surprise me" with something. Speaking of staff, they are super friendly, consummate professionals and generally just a good time. Lastly, I think this place is a great place to meet people. I always seem to meet fun and interesting people while sitting at the bar.

Mainly a two room bar with an extension into the walkway, warm lighting, deep colors, shelves of books, cozy chairs. It's a nice place to catch up on reading or meeting friends for a drink. They have a small list of food items and a larger selection of drinks. They were out of the oysters so we just stuck to drinks. We weren't offered the complimentary olives even though two other tables were, that was noticeable. Otherwise staff were attentive and the drinks were very good.

Ever. And the wine list-- it's exceptional. City quality without the trek into the city. As I told Mike tonight, it's a hard reservation to get at the last minute but it's still a well-kept secret. So do yourselves a favor, go to Lark. It's a meal you won't soon forget.

We had a bottle of champagne, a starter, a pasta and two of the main entrees (one of them was a special). While we had a later reservation (830pm), it was pretty loud at first and then died down as the 7pm reservations finished their meals. I have to commend the staff for the excellent service all evening and allowing us to finish our meal without rushing and attentiveness to our glasses, ensuring they weren't empty until our bottle was finished. Lark has truly stepped up their game and I'm happy to have such a great establishment, outside of the City.

We were in my hometown of Philly for an overnight stay to see Nas and decided to kick off our evening here. I ordered the Everything She Wants smooth, balanced, and layered in flavor. My husband went with the Angostura Sour, which was perfectly crafted and delicious. We also couldn't resist trying the popcorn it was spicy with just the right amount of heat to give our night a little extra kick. The service was good, the music was low enough for conversation, and the decor was pleasing to the eye classic, moody, and true to the speakeasy vibe. If you're into elevated cocktails and cozy, low-lit hideaways, this place is a must-visit

I really appreciated how well they marked the menu with dietary guidelines such as gluten-free, vegetarian, vegan, etc., and our server was great about the whole deal - taking our orders, keeping our beverages filled, and letting us know about things such as how many cards she could split the bill across. I got the Norwegian Omelet, which was a great choice - smoked salmon in the omelet went really well, and the sourdough was good too. In retrospect, I could've probably gone w/o the onions and peppers w/ the potatoes, but the dish was great and filling. Coffee was good too, and definitely appreciate the refills. I would certainly consider returning in the future.

The best part is that its surrounded by mirrors, so if ur like me and will probably make a fool outta yourself trying to dance.. you'll have a chance to see it before the whole bar does. When you come here, you can tell that the owner has a passion for her business and cares about her customers. The bar has been remodeled twice in the last few years and is always kept CLEAN! You never have to hold your breath and say five Hail Marys before you use the restroom. On some nights, there is free buffet style food for the customers. As long as you are drinking, you can eat.. no hassle! There's also live entertainment for some occasions, random raffles to win prizes and money, football pools, dating auctions.. too much to name! Definitely a creative and well managed establishment.
