Movie Mondays in the Balcony are spectacular, everyone shares a sense of comradery. $3 gets you in and gets you a chip that is good for redemption of $3 towards food or drink. Great movies every week.

Amazing concert venue that hosts lots of amazing bands in an area where almost anywhere you stand you can see the stage. Not usually overcrowded like most concert venues ; hosts local bands , too.

The trocadero is an amazing place to listen to live music . It's kinda small but that's what give it its amazing atmosphere. Whether UR in the back, the front or on the balcony you will love the show.

This concert venue is right in the middle of chinatown in center city . I have been here a couple of times and its huge inside. I enjoy coming here for concerts !

For $3 on Movie Monday, enjoy cult classics like Edward Scissorhands and Die Hard . The bar stays open before, during and after the show. Arrive before 7 pm, get a free beer and a bag of popcorn .

Great intimate venue for concerts and shows! Can only have alcoholic drinks upstairs tho. Get there early if you want a seat.

I was surprised at how comfy I was in the pit. Great sound, nice people and the giant fans kept me comfy and were unobtrusive.

Good venue for small acts and comedy shows. Check out the upstairs for real intimate shows with up-and-comers!

Marq Romero

One of my favorite music venues . The only Victorian theater in the US still running. Make you stay after the concert and get the roadies' attention to give you the set list!

Movie Mondays are fun. There's alcohol , good people, and raffles and trivia after the movie . Definitely a good date event .

Great place to see a show of any type. Hardcore, hip hop , country , whatever. Love it here.

Great place and if you are 21 & up go upstairs cause the best view is up in the balcony trust me!!!

Best view for 21+ is up top in the balcony , which has rows of bench seating .

Even though it is far from the most handicap accessible place, staff was super nice helping me out with a broken foot-though I couldn't get a drink since the bar was upstairs

NBC Philadelphia

This 19th century Victorian Trocadero Theatre is the only one of its kind still open in the country . Notable showgirls performed at this location when it was used as a burlesque venue in the 1950s.

Great venue for live music !! On the floor and could see wonderfully - women's bathroom could be bigger.

The Trocadero is the only 19th century Victorian theater still in operation in the United States . It is listed on the U.S. Register of Historic Places.

Jane Ferrick

Sat at the top of the balcony close to the bar and the sound quality was terrible. I could hear all the talking at the bar and had to strain to hear parts of the show. Best bet is the floor downstai
