Slightly Perfect

Excellent venue. Feels intimate but is pretty large. Nice sound system . Craft beer selections are amazing, and they have servers who'll come to you!

Kristerpher Henderson

Eric André, MØ, The Neighborhood , The 1975... all of these sound familiar? Of course they do! Come catch some awesome headliners, and enjoy the space and intimate atmosphere .

Elizabeth

It’s clean , crowd control is smooth, and a good selection of beer . Shows run smoothly, amazing tech crew. Parking sucks: $15-$20 to park in the lot or drive around forever looking for street parking .

Michael Leis

Still wish it was the spaghetti factory , but double bars and seating on the risers in back if you get there in time. Definitely stop at one of the new breweries that dot the neighborhood

Kit Rojas

The best small venue in Philadelphia hands-down. Two bars to serve you during and after a show. Any spot is good for watching live.

Union Transfer has a stellar selection of microbrews at the three full bars and tasty vegan fare . Read more

Sometimes they open the top for seats. It usually doesn't get crowded right away and there's a bar up there too wth waitresses coming around to bring you drinks.

Reinhold Residential

Built in the early 1900’s as a luggage terminal under the same name, today’s Union Transfer is one of the best spots in the city to catch a concert .

jane mcconnell

remember the second door takes you to the front of the stage. But this is a sweet venue many places are great for seeing the band you love.

Matt 🐹

Superb venue with great staff and reasonable drink prices as well . Not to mention the exception sound quality! One of my favorites venues.

Dianne Ross

Like this venue as there was a place to sit in the balcony . I can't stand for long periods of time so if you are like me, sit in the balcony if you need to.

Shaz

If you're there for a seated venue, not a rock concert . Bring a warm jacket . They keep the place at a cool 55 degrees for all the hot air and men in the place. I saw loads of women freezing like me

Maddie Lippincott

One of the coolest venues I've ever been in. SO much space and the balcony offers an amazing view .

Brandy Bones

One of the best venues for concerts in philly. great space, acoustics and music .

Pilgrim 🛣

I saw Mutemath here which was one of the best shows I've seen at one of the best venues.

Aroundphilly

The indie-rock concert venue serves as a happy medium between smaller rooms like Johnny Brenda’s and Kung Fu Necktie and larger joints like the Electric Factory and the Tower Theater .

Gab Bonghi

The best venue in Philly . Great selection of beer (they've got cider for those with gluten allergy).

Gary Noe

Great place to go and listen to some really good bands! Good food and brews..

LEQ

Great new venue. Buy the parking pass when you get tickets - it costs more the night of the show and is much cheaper than the city lots in the area.

Ryan Smith

Friendly beer , good beer selections , really awesome acoustics for concerts

Chris E.

Great small concert venue with balcony and 3 bars .

Campbell Bird

Great place for a show. Go to Llama Tooth for drinks and eats before or after!

Sandra Kece

No seats for concerts , so be prepared to stand. Good location though with $15 parking behind the venue (limited spots however.) Lots of parking available on the nearby streets.

Anthony Rossi

The sound system here is one of the best around. Fantastic place to catch a show.

Julia Truten

I had a lot of fun, though the show I saw was geared more towards kids. Standing room only, so my legs were killing me.

Jack David

Perfect venue for concerts . Vintage Style Theater that really rocks

Joseph Pomone

nice venue, although the stage lighting needs a little improvement. i could barely see the faces of the performers .

Khoi Le

Hang out on the patio across the street at Llama Tooth before the show! List of 40 craft beers and good egg plant fries too

Eliot Lewis

Eat at Lhama Tooth before concert across the street & great burgers & beer

Visit Philly

Find a stellar selection of microbrews at any of the three bars , plus tasty vegan fare .

Jonathan McCarthy

Holly Williams was great, and the drunk frat boy starting a fight and getting kicked out was cool too.

Gloria M

The drinks are a little steep, but the balcony’s perfect

Jim Barton

Silk City Diner is perfect for drinks and food before you come to see a band

This time drinks were allowed on the floor and one of the nicest staff ever! Fan of this place now!

Charles Morgan IV

Amazing sound in this venue

Where else can you enjoy having ice cream in one hand, a drink in the other, and watch a band play simultaneously?

Don't go to the pregnant bartender . You probably won't make that mistake though, because she will be doing the best impression of somebody NOT working you've ever seen.

Greg D

Best venue in Philly for concerts .

Jennifer Smith

Amazing place! Loved it! Would so go back again!!

Brett Garwood

Very cool venue, saw Bombay bicycle club.

Andrew Baker

Mark Moss
