What a funky venue. My wife and I came here for the first time for the Alexandr Misko and Forest…read moreBailey guitar concert. We loved this converted silent movie hall that has been open for four years now but has been standing for many decades. The venue has a mish mash of seating with folding chairs, couches, office chairs, and some plastic new wave stuff. Everything is general seating so if you get there early you can snag one of the more comfortable chairs. Even though they are in the back, you can clearly see and hear perfectly. The owners also shelled out monies to build a balcony which has some hightop chairs and more comfortable office chairs around some tables. The closest seats to the stage have small round tables. The lighting was fun colors of strobe lights and a little bit of disco. There is also a stand with sodas and small snacks but they provide free (yes, it's free) popcorn. Salty, and you'll probably then want to buy a $2 soda. All staff were quite friendly. Check-in was a breeze as they had all names and you just showed your tickets. A bonus with your ticket is the 10% off your food at the Mexican restaurant almost next door. We were lucky to snag a street parking spot but you can park at the train station. My wife and I had a great time and loved the Fallser Club. Ticket prices for this show were only $20 each ($25 at the door) and there were about 130 at the show for a main guest who has performed all over the world. Great value. We'll be checking out what other shows may be coming around.

I'm a little obsessed with the new venue I discovered over the weekend. I caught a show on a Sunday…read moreevening featuring the amazing PJ and the Resistance. Both the venue and the talent are something special. Entrance to the show was only $20 and they offered $2 tickets for disabled individuals. When you enter you will find unique word art, velvet curtains, and the smell of complementary fresh movie theater style pop corn. There was a bar stocked with Vismos and some delicious canned cocktails by Top Dog. The Blood Orange Margarita was amazing! Cocktails were also very reasonably priced, 3 drinks totaled $24. The seating is mixed with comfy couches, chairs, loungers along with cocktail tables in front of the stage. We opted to use the upstairs area as we had a large party and enjoyed mingling between sets. The upstairs is not handicap accessible so plan to hang out on the first floor and enjoy the up close entertainment views of stairs are an issue. It was interesting to hear about the other events being hosted like a hackathon and a women's healthcare forum. This business is very blue which made me love it even more. I've included the QR code in my photos where you can catch their the wide variety of events on their very packed schedule. It's important to know that there is only street parking available so leave time to find a spot. Parking was free which was great! You do need to parallel park so be prepared if you aren't used to doing that. Fallser guests are also offered a 10% discount on food before or after the show at an amazing Mexican eatery Nextdoor called Cresta. I 100% recommend you take advantage of this. Heir rooftop bar is amazing! I love the community feel and the way the businesses on the street supported each other. I really am looking forward to seeing more shows and events at this very special venue.

I love that this Black owned business is putting the joy back into dance. I recently completed a…read moresummer hip hop class and I had a lot of fun. I think the instructors do a good job of reading people who want to be overly critiqued vs those who are there to have a good time. I wish that there was better air conditioning and more mingling opportunities but other than that, a really solid place to spend your nights!

This place is just different…read more I joined Second Chance Adult Dance School in February 2025. I was made aware of them thanks to an annual event by The Philly Movement Foundation. I attended a dance class preview for free & the class was lead by the school's owner Alyssa. I knew immediately that this place was for me. As soon as you walk through those doors, you're not judged by your age or size or background or level of experience. There is a place for everyone. Everyone was so welcoming. The entire place has an atmosphere of community. The class selections are top tier. The teachers are so warm and willing to answer questions. These last 7 months have been so enjoyable and the accomplishments I've felt have been so rewarding. At my big of almost mid-40s, I now take classes five days a week; I take Ballet, Jazz, Tap, Praise, West African, and Hip Hop. I also take PBT (pilates + ballet) & their Stretch class. All beginner level and I moved onto my first intermediate class for Tap. Every week I'm excited to see what is in store for me. As someone who works from home, this place not only gets me more active, but allows me an amazing social connection & networking experience with likeminded individuals. You can tell how much Alyssa loves what she does and she hires & surrounds herself with people who care just as much. I hope I'll be able to participate here so long that I move on over to the "Silver" class for the "more seasoned" crowd hahaha. This place is just different.
