Great nightclub with a great dancefloor and awesome DJ's. I love this place! Never change. Certain nights covers can go up to $20-30 for out-of-town talent but it's always worth it.

This place is awesome! The music is great, the bathrooms are clean and the people are courteous and respectful. This my favorite spot in Philly to come and dance I just wish they had more R&B and HipHop nights!

I love this place. Excellent lineup of events and DJs. Check out their Instagram or website for the calendar. Other reviews say the cover is $5, but I had to pay $10 per person on Friday night. Drinks are on the pricy side considering they are dive bar quality ($10+ even for well drinks) but they do have sugar free Red Bull which I appreciated. Bring your friends and have a good time.

Truly a one of a kind establishment in Philly. The event themes vary night to night but the vibes, drinks, and staff are always consistent. My friends love getting here early for their cheap happy hour and grabbing a good spot on the dance floor.

Amazing joint. The drinks are fire! Who else has a happy hour with 5 dollar margaritas from 8-10. Best bar and club in the city. Plus their r&b and hip hop nights are to die for. Keep it coming dolphin! You're the best in Philly!

First of this place does NOT have go-go dancers—that google description is from years ago before they changed ownership and that's not the point of the place anymore. BUT what the place does now is awesome! It really is halfway between a dive bar and a club. I've been here for both dance music nights and occasional concerts and it's a great space for both. The lights on the walls are classic. Fairly inexpensive and drinks are surprisingly good. One my favorite spots in town.

Amazing, queer vibes, great people, and a wonderful time. They have themed nights and awesome DJs. There is actually quite a bit of room on the dance floor and there are tables near the front if you want to sit down. Such a great time here!
