The Barbary

A place like The Barbary only exists in movies . It's home to a variety of monthly parties that cater to all levels of taste: Hip-hop, '80s, '90s, goth , indie, metal, punk – they’ve got it all. Read more

Crowds line up for live music at this off-the-beaten-path club that attracts gay-friendly hipsters to Fishtown. Popular DJs spin sets for special retro events and old-school Goth and New Wave parties.

Good for dancing ; I like tiger beats . I usually come here after drinking at el bar , so don't buy many drinks here. Very lgbt friendly and trendy

"The only bar open during all-ages shows is up stairs; when you walk in the front door you'll see it straight ahead of you. Also, band merch by the photo booth left of the stage." -We Are The Union

+Hands and Knees+ event once a month is worth the wait! Upstairs you have old school dance and down stairs is a mix of Dub step, electro, and dance ! Warning it will get sweaty!

Everyone knows they've got cheap drink specials (and sometimes open bar !) but they serve food upstairs, too. It's also cheap , there's vegan options , and it'll keep ya drinking responsibly.

Pretty hip venue where you can jam to all types of music depending on the night. Grungy hipster crowd stays the same though

Any venue that openly uses the word 'hipster ' in my book is lamestream as shit. Find a new spot you fucking posers. This place was once cool and has now reached a critical mass that no longer appeals.

Accidentally left my change on the bar on a slow night, the bartender was mad sleazy and kept it. Thanks for being a decent human being, had he returned the cash I would have left him a generous tip.

Don't put quarters in their arcade game ( Marvel vs Street Fighter ) it's free- the buttons are on the side. Enjoy!
