Nightlife in Philadelphia
Live music
Philadelphia has always been known for its music scene, which continues to thrive even as it diversifies. Catch a local indie or blues band at Johnny Brenda’s in Fishtown, or enjoy the eclectic musical offerings at the casual but sophisticated World Café Live in University City.
Some of the best local jazz musicians play nightly at Chris’ Jazz Café, while the latest stand-up comedy and rock tours are booked into the Tower Theater or the Wells Fargo Center arena. Want to impress your friends and go under the radar? Check out the authentic bluegrass music at homey, no-frills bar Fiume in Spruce Hill, one of Philly’s best-kept secrets.
Cocktails
Take your cocktails seriously? Sip a stiff martini at the chic Parc bar, or try the inventive cocktails at Twenty Manning, including the “Atticus Finch”—a concoction that includes Scoth whiskey, Drambuie, cayenne, nutmeg, and honey, served warm in a snifter with a clove-studded orange wheel.
If you’re in the mood for retro sophistication, slip into the speakeasy-themed Ranstead Room, where your posh cocktails are served with hand-chipped ice. And for the whiskey lovers, there is the aptly named Village Whiskey, which offers over 80 top-notch whiskeys to choose from, including rarities like Old Grand-Dad, Fighting Cock, and Pappy van Winkle.
Live theater
From big Broadway musicals to performances from esteemed dance troupes such as the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, Philadelphia’s theatrical offerings are robust and unpredictable.
On any given night your choices might include touring musicals like ‘Wicked’ and ‘Sister Act,’ lovably disgruntled stand-up comedian Lewis Black, a classic Oscar Wilde play, and even the generation-spanning favorite ‘Grease.’
Dancing
In the mood for dancing? Dance the night away to your favorite hits from the 80s & 90s at ultra-trendy nightclub Silk City, or get your groove on to everything from house music to 70s disco at Voyeur. Want to change things up a bit? At Brasil’s in Old City you can do the salsa and merengue all night long.
Sweet treats
Like to top off a perfect night out with something sweet? The legendary old-fashioned ice cream parlour Franklin Fountain on Market Street offers delights such as the Mt. Vesuvius sundae—a “mountain” of ice cream covered in homemade hot fudge.
