It's like two different places

Downstairs is a really fun piano bar with the expected show tunes queens (and college drama boys) singing along. It's rustic and not all that much to look at, but packed. Go upstairs and its like a totally different world. Modern lounge feel, young and attractive crowd great pop/dance music. It was my favorite stop on my trip to Philly.

Don't let downstairs fool you!

It is such a typical piano bar downstairs, but seems very popular. Upstairs, however, is very different! What a great little dance club/bar... And the boys! They just kept getting cuter and cuter! Staff is very friendly.. Highly Recommended!!

Best Music in the City

NEVER a cover, great bartenders, and the best music in the city. This is a more social bar than Woody's. I only go upstairs, so this does not apply for downstairs. I highly recommend. Get there before midnight because a line forms to get into the dance club upstairs.
