Love this place! I will definitely be back. Came down to Philadelphia for the Heathen & Void show at Nikki Lopez, and got there early, so spent some time at the bar and talked with the owner a bit. Very cool vibe, framed punk rock posters on the walls, lots of NYHC playing on the sound system. Good beer selection.
Then upstairs is the stage. It's roughly comparable to Milkboy's upstairs stage areas, in terms of size. There is one bathroom downstairs (sometimes two), and two upstairs, and both floors have a bar. The bartenders are very nice, which is important.
The sound for Heathen's show was quite good. I like the stage setup and general atmosphere of both floors.
The downstairs bar area has an open front, so on nice days you can sit on their couch or comfortable chairs and enjoy a drink while watching the people go by. They seemed to have a spot right out front, too, for band vans. Not all venues have that! When I was in a band, it would have been much appreciated.
All in all, a wonderful place. I wish I could make it to the Murphy's Law show this coming weekend. But will be back, regardless, at some point in the near future. read more
