The staff who seats you is always friendly and does a great job of getting everyone in. Typically the shows start right on time. I'm always a bit turned off my the two drink minimum if it's a night I'm not drinking, but they count waters towards your two drinks and are not very strict on the rule. The service for getting your drink is a bit slow, but it's a weird set up in there and they are trying not to be distracting, so there's prob a science to it all. Seating is good wherever you're at and the venue is clean and well kept.

First time here as I was visiting Philly. I was able to park my car in a paid lot nearby on Spring…read moreGarden St. and walked to the venue with ease. Getting inside was a breeze. I didn't have to wait in a long line and the bathrooms were also easily accessible. I was seated in a timely manner with a good view of the stage. My server was very pleasant and took my order with ease. I got a lemonade, stirred at the bar, and veggie nachos. Everything was great! The three comediennes who opened up for Winston Hodges were pretty funny. Winston was also a hoot! I had a great time and would love to come see another show the next time I'm visiting again.

It's an intimate event space on the second floor - there isn't a bad seat in the house and you will feel truly immersed in the experience. Unlike many clubs, there is no 2-item minimum purchase! They do have a bar so you can get drinks during the show and probably some chips, but there is no table service and I def recommend you eat beforehand. We went to Poison Heart which was a quick walk away. I love this venue because the tickets are very affordable and the mix of comedians is refreshing. It is a mix of Philly-regulars, up-and-coming comedians, and a few industry-favorites.

Okay, season tickets to the Eagles would be pretty sweet but sir this is a comedy club. Next in Line is in that sweet spot - if you were looking for that place where, in five years you could say you saw so-and-so live in a 100 person venue before they got crazy famous, this is it. Will definitely be back, keeping my eye on their schedule!

I arrived 30 minutes before show start and the Will Call line moved rather quickly. The line to get into the showroom was longer than Will Call. I purchased reserved seating and once I got inside, one of the attendants walked us to our seats. There's a two item minimum per person in the showroom, but it doesn't matter what you buy. The waiters walk around periodically to ask what you'd like to order and bring your check closer to the end of the show. We went to see Vinny Guadagnino and he was hilarious. His two openers were awesome as well. There's a parking garage right next door and also a good amount of metered street parking nearby, too.

I have to give a huge shoutout to Derek, the house manager at The Fillmore Philadelphia. We showed…read moreup at 6 AM to camp out for the concert, fully prepared to spend the next 12+ hours sitting on the ground, and we were definitely a little miserable that early in the morning. Derek completely changed the start of our day. He was such a kind soul, incredibly friendly, brought us chairs, checked on us, and genuinely cared that we were comfortable and were going to have a great experience. That kind of positive attitude at 6 AM says a lot about a person. Derek made us feel taken care of before the concert experience had even really begun. He is exactly the kind of manager you want representing your venue and setting the example for his team. Such a great way to start what ended up being an amazing concert experience.

Grateful doesn't even begin to cover it. I had an amazing…read morefirst time experience at the Filmore. It's been a long time since I've been to a concert, and what I experienced at Tash Sultana's show was unlike anything I've ever witnessed before. Drums. Guitar. Saxophone. Flute. Bells and sooo much more. Vocals that soared from whispers to powerful crescendos. Every instrument seemed like an extension of Tash, and every note felt intentional. People often say music is healing, music is therapy, music is universal. Last night, I felt that. Not just heard it--felt it. The audience wasn't there just to watch a performance. We were there to witness artistry. To share a moment of connection through rhythm, sound, and frequency. For a few hours, strangers were a community united by music/frequency. The team at the Fillmore made the experience even better. From security and "Jay" at coat/merch check, "Meghan" Guest Services, "Bob" food & beverage service (Card Only). I enjoyed my "Vegan" Burger and the refreshing Wildberry beverage in a commemorative Filmore cup. Thank you for the recommendation, Blithe. "Steve" provided kind seating assistance upstairs. Everyone we encountered was welcoming and helpful. Those small acts of kindness matter and should be acknowledged and are very much appreciated. And to Tash--thank you. Thank you for sharing your gifts so generously. Thank you for creating a space where people could simply be present, breathe, feel, and reconnect with themselves. I've traveled through a lot in life, but last night reminded me why "live music matters". Some concerts entertain you. Some concerts remind you who you are. Somewhere along the way, my son and I became known as "the cake people." If you know, you know. If you haven't experienced Tash Sultana yet, do yourself a favor: Tune in. Thank you again Filmore for hosting this memorable experience.

We sat in the dead center literally 5 feet from.the stage. Chris Cotton was the headliner and damn is that dude funny. The other 2 comedians were just okay bit still entertaining and got a few laughs. The bartender was sweet and made decent drinks. Can't give any parking tips as me and my friends took the train from NJ then Uber from 8th and market. Be advised though, as others have mentioned, there was only one waitress working a room of 60. Obviously they need more staff in that regard because once she gets you a drink, theres a strong chance you'll never see her again. Minus one star for that but didn't bother me much since I have legs and can walk to the bar 10 feet away, but I can see how it could bug people. I would go back. Cool little joint.

If your guests have to be vigilant with the tab, you're doing something wrong.

Johnny Brenda's has different menus for lunch, dinner, brunch, etc. Vegan and gluten-free are clearly marked, which is really helpful. The food was really good. Here's what we ordered: -- Mushroom Croquettes -- Fried Pierogies -- Crab Rangoon Dip -- Veggie Burger -- Liquid Death -- Draft Beer
