Had such a blast here when we met! We went to their Halloween party and most people were in costumes! Great DJ

We went early on a Saturday night around 10. No line and they have a coat check. The vibe of this place is cool. Lots of cool lighting. They have a ball pit which we went in was fun but can't imagine when there's 20 people in there. They also have an ice bar wasn't really well thought out so we just walked through. It started getting busy around midnight, music was good and the drinks were ok. i ended up just sticking with wine. It's a good place to pre game before going to the hot spots so don't pass by it!! read more

Pro tip: come early to avoid the line. Yes you do have to wait for the people to come in and start dancing because it's so empty early on Friday nights. Coming from LA, I like how this club isn't pretentious, has a good vibe (minus some creepy guys), and you really see all kinds of people here. So why the 3 stars? The music is garbage and feels like that white club meme. I don't know how to dance to Taylor Swift and general pop music in a night club aside from reverting to middle school dance moves. Drinks are kind of pricy. Location is slightly confusing to find, but nice and central. Ball pit is okay; ice room is kinda fun for pictures. And the upstairs is nice for a breather because the dance floor does get kinda disgustingly packed. read more

Concourse Dance Bar - Dance Clubs Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

A decent dance club to go to in Philly. Very popular with the younger college crowd. When I went, the music was good and there was a good amount of seating and room in the various sections of the club. It is definitely a spot for taking photos. Especially in the mirror room, ice bar, and ball pit. If you are willing to go a little wild, this place may be for you. The drinks are pretty standard and there are a good amount of bar areas to grab a drink. Dance floor itself is a decent size but can get really packed. It is cool to look down from a higher spot on the crowd of people. Overall a decent club. Many 21st birthdays celebrated here for sure! read more

Super fun! Love the artsy look in the place, everyone was nice and patient, the music was great, drinks were good will come again !

Concourse Review During the Covid Era 1/30/21 visit: Of course clubs like these are prone to receive negative reviews because of cover charges, long line waits, music too loud, shoulder to shoulder crowds, lackluster food and overpriced drinks. During the covid era things have changed and I'm going against the 2.5 star yelp rating grain giving this place a full 5 stars. Now-a-days this place had to pivot and to switch gears as pandemic restrictions ease to a "pre-fix drinking experience" accompanied by some snacks. So they are now offering a packaged deal per person for ~$32 per person. All in after tax and tip it's about $82 per couple, pre paid, no refunds. This gets you any three drinks and three snacks during a 90 minute time slot. Now to clarify the food is no way shape or form a full meal. It's a small snack meant to fill their 'restaurant' obligation to accompany alcoholic beverages, so please don't go into this thinking this is a fine dining experience in the city. The pretzels are handful movie theater pretzel nuggets. The best way I could explain the cheesesteak is that it was basically a cheesesteak on a bagel bite cut in half served with some chips. Finally the dessert is a kandykake or little debbie brownie brought out at the end. The way they work the experience over the 90 minutes is everyone received a colored wristband while checking in. They basically segment the experience into three room while each room you get a drink and a snack. After your drink they ask you to move to the next spot so you are rotating about every thirty minutes. In the middle room there is a cool ice bar walk in freezer experience with different sculpture and signs that are instagram worthy. There is also a mirror room to walk in with drop down lights as well. The final room is the most clubby with the dance floor, lights, dj and a small slide. The first room actually overlooks the dance floor. We were able to successfully order one extra drink a la cart in this last room but based on your color wristband and strict social guidelines once your time is up they ask you to wrap it up and move on so the next group can head in. The staff was incredibly attentive and personable. They constantly checked on us and we're very welcoming. I was very satisfied with the experience and would recommend to others after setting their expectations. Also minors are allowed at the 5pm time slot only with adults. The manager was very helpful regarding this. read more

Came here last night for the We Touch Grass anime rave. The sets were great. The venue has something more to be desired. The VIP section was nothing special. Honestly, the best thing the VIP add on did for us was get us in the door faster. The bouncers we're doing a great job of keeping the place safe. They did have to kick people out, but they handled it really well. I think there were two Photo Booths on the property because the one I ended up in was not the We Touch Grass Theme. I was pretty upset when I put in my credit card, and without warning, it snapped 3 photos of my friend and I. All the pictures came out terrible obviously. We had no idea where the camera was and there was no countdown. I wish I had my $5 back lol. The drinks were pricey but I guess that's what you get at the club. The dance floor was tight and we tried going down to the stage but it was tough. We loved the ball pit! Sad the ice room wasn't open. I thought the staff did a really good job of keeping the place safe and for that, I'll probably be back :) read more

worst establishment ever. bouncers claim everyone's ID is fake, shine flashlights in your face to make sure you're who you say you are, accusing you of being underage when you have a valid ID. the bouncers are against running your ID through a scanner to make sure you are of age. some people look younger but are actually older, but the bouncers take it upon themselves to be assholes and let in who they want based on bias. they're prejudice towards people who are disabled or in wheelchairs. STAY AWAY read more

Cut off early bartenders on a power trip. music was good just not satisfied at all with the management

Absolutely love this place! We've been coming here for two years now and I just celebrated my birthday here! Once you make it downstairs there is a fun slide that lands you right on the dance floor! The dance floor is a good size with areas to stand directly outside if the floor, lean on the ledge but still be a part of the crowd and dance! There are two ground floor bar areas and one area has stools and tables to sit and hang with friends. There is an awesome ball pit, ice room and mirror room in the first floor, a photo booth also! The bathrooms are on the first floor and they are immaculate! Upstairs there is a lounge area with unique sofas, chairs and ottomans. There is also a full bar Upstairs as well as a stool and ledge area to sit and watch the party down below. The DJs are fun and play such a great mix of 90s, 2000s and current music. The crowd is good as there is such a diverse age range. I don't drink alcohol but the bartenders are so friendly and welcoming! With any place, things can get a bit shaken up but Hawk, the lead security guard, runs a right ship with his crew! They are there to keep everyone safe and tolerate NOTHING! Come with a positive and friendly attitude because this is what the Concourse is all about!! Also, such easy access from the train and busses! ​​ read more

This was definitely a unique experience! Having just moved to Philly, it was a great first time going with my friends. Everything was so novel and interesting. They have an ice box, infinity room, dance floor, upstairs area and a BALL PIT. Very instagrammable. Music could be better but the people really made the experience for me read more

Dont come here. Literally do not waste your time or money. Im from Florida, and this is hands down the worst "club" I've ever went to. I ordered a "double" with my girl and tasted nothing but soda. Legit coca-cola, for $40. Fuck this place. Don't come. Atmosphere sucks, bartenders sucks, NO crowd, hands down one of the worst experiences ive had in PA. read more

Voting for a better DJ!!!! We had fun, but the crowd is younger - we had gray drinks and a good time! So much fun a creative atmosphere with multiple kick it spots and I really had fun!! read more

I recently had an amazing time here. The ambience is fantastic, with vibrant lighting and energetic music that keeps the vibe lively all night. The decor is stylish and adds to the overall fun atmosphere. The staff is friendly and attentive, ensuring everyone has a great time. If you're looking for a place to dance the night away with friends highly suggested. Also PLEASE JUMP IN THE BALL PIT read more

My friend and I got drugged here last night, luckily we made it home before anything hit us. I think someone saw and told the bouncers (or whoever did it did) but the bouncers solution was to kick us out and say it was "for our safety" and "because we were stumbling" but would not tell us anything else (I took a video of my feet while we talked with the bouncers and we weren't stumbling at all). We only had 3 drinks over 3 hours, with water in between. Then after a short walk home everything hit us and my friend had to go to the hospital. Definitely wouldn't recommend, it's not a safe space for women. read more

Funtastic time at the Concourse! It was a waste of time and money when we went to Vango prior to coming here. It was just nothing happening and trashy at Vango. Fortunately, I remembered the Concourse Dance Bar that I had seen on yelp, and suggested to my party that we just walk there since it was in the vancity. We knew we were in for a fun time when we saw a long line of people waiting to get in on a Saturday night. The wait to get in was about 10 minutes. Once we got in, we paid a $5 cover charge and proceeded in. Walking down into the venue, it was electrifying and lit! The colorful lights and fun music was the best introduction. It was super packed inside which may or may not be your cup of tea. The ball pit is the notable part of this dance bar. Although it looked fun, it was very crowded so we skipped the wait. I'd like to try it another time when it's not as crowded. Saturdays are 90's/00's (if I'm not mistaken) so it was a mix of that era's music. Each day has a different theme. It's a good mix of people and mostly a young crowd of seemingly 20somethings. I had a really good time and so glad this place saved the night! read more

Concourse Dance Bar - Crowd Cray - Dance Clubs Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Lots of fun but the drinks are always so watered down and weak. They were out of certain drink supplies on one of the biggest nights of the year :-/ The music is good though. read more

What a fun night! We didn't set out to visit Concourse and dance our asses off, but the night unfolded as such. Before we knew it, we were paying our $5 cover charge and checking our coats. As noted in other reviews, they have a ball pit that I believe they call The Pool. I learned that there is a sanitizing system that cleans the balls constantly. So for the germ-a-phobes and people who get generally skeeved-out (ie - me) it appears to be a clean and safe environment to have a few minutes of kiddy fun. Oh, you KNOW I had to ask about how they plan to keep that thing clean. The music was mostly early 2000's with a smattering of some 90's hits. The space is vast and open with ample room to dance in the event that the actual dance floor is packed (which was the case the entire time we were there). We felt like we were at a big party. The crowd was so chill and so friendly, and the bartenders were on-point. I also liked that there are tables and stools throughout the entire space. It was refreshing to be at a dance club with patrons for whom chairs are not a throwing risk (ahem...Jersey Shore). I heard that it's been eons since Philadelphia has had a true dance club. If you're seeking a fun, clubby night out, then shimmy on over! read more

If you're not 24 but want to feel 24, you're coming to the right place! The girls and I arrived just after opening. Only a handful of people were here, freezing, but fun music playing that I remember from high school. There were two main big bars, the dance floor and of course, the ball pit. We weren't specially dressed for a ball pit but since it was early and found a moment no one was in it, we took the opportunity and so happy we did. Worth it. I wasn't sure what to drink but went for a Cosmo. 10 bucks, tiny cup, strong as hell. I was only able to handle 2 lol. It comes from a tap which is pretty wild. As the night went on, this place got packed. I think the best spot to hang out is in the upstairs bar, at the overlook. The music slowly turned into just EDM and everybody was sweating. We left after midnight, ears ringing, feet in heels killing us, but it was a really fun night. No dress code, but fellas, learn to dress to impress ;) read more

This place sucks. $10 cover to get in. The beer I ordered was either expired or something was wrong with the keg/keg tubbing. I spent $5 in the Photo Booth and never got my photos. Felt like a college bar read more

Great place! I've been there when they've opened and when they've closed, and the music vibe changes every time. In my opinion, the ice room is overrated, but the ball pit is lots of fun! Get there early to make sure you have space to enjoy it. Purple gatorade is my drink of choice. Bathrooms are a little weird, but what bars bathrooms aren't? Security is on top of it. Any dumb moves and people are escorted out, and I feel very comfortable and safe there. read more

I've been here a few times and my friends and I always have a good time. Young crowd, good music, quick service. The staff is always kind and there are plenty of areas to take an Instagram pic. Ice room is especially nice when they get busy and you need somewhere to cool off away from the crowds. I prefer the upstairs bar, better people watching. read more

Ball pit was fun. We got there at 10PM on a Friday night and there was no line to the ball pit. Cover fee is $5. Definitely come early because once this place hits 11PM, it will be crowded. Many bouncers/staff overseeing everything makes it very safe. Upstairs bar has a nice little lounge area and is a bit quieter when you're tired of the dancing. Will be coming back again! read more

Attended an event here last weekend! We loved the set up and how social distanced we were. With the ticketed event, we felt very safe. With our event, we received 3 drink tickets, 3 food items & access to 3 different rooms throughout the bar. One of the rooms was also an ice bar. The 3 food items were philly soft pretzels, 2 mini cheesesteaks and a tasty cake! Very cool idea! read more

We had a blast here! The ice bar is a must to check out, good music, young crowd. If you're looking to have a fun club experience in the city, this is a great spot. Drinks were a bit pricey, but it's expected. Bartenders were decent enough, if not a little attitudey, but it didn't hinder our experience. We will be back :) read more

Concourse Dance Bar - The ice bar! - Dance Clubs Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

I went to Concourse tonight for my friends birthday and was randomly escorted out of the club. I was simply trying to get a drink when I was thrown out with no explanation. All of my friends were so confused and I just complied. I voluntarily walked out of the club after being told I had to leave with no explanation. I was severely uncomfortable and it ruined my night. I have never been so disrespected in my life, and I have no intention of returning. Neither do any of my friends. The funny part is that before we went, some of my friends told me they didn't want to go because of the security. They had awful experiences in the past, noting that they were homophobic and transphobic. I wondered if it was a fluke.... but it probably wasn't. I don't know how the security came to the conclusion that they needed to kick me out, but it was extremely unjust. This club is not even close to being fun enough to deal with the security. read more

I went to Concourse for their Friday happy hour with some coworkers. The place in general has a very 90s feel which I totally loved. Aside from some good music, they have two floors (although only one was open at this one), a separate dance floor, and of course, the ball pit. Drink specials were $3 well drinks. Different bartenders had different pours and my first drink wasn't even close to being filled all the way which was a bummer. I could only imagine that this gets worse as the night goes on. The ball pit was really fun. I'd recommend giving it a try if you have had a flu shot or a really good immune system. I'm sure the line for the ball pit eventually becomes overwhelming, but it definitely wasn't bad at 9 pm. read more

Overpriced experience. The staff were incredibly rude and stingy with alcohol. The only highlight of this establishment is that I felt safe around other club goers. read more

Came here with friends. Love the concept. This is a nightclub but so much more. Aside from the regular nightclub setup (which has a slide to the dance floor), they also have an ice bar which is very cool. They also have an "illusion room" which is cool for pictures. The best part is the ball part. Seriously could spend all night here. Drinks were fine and typical for what you'd expect somewhere like this. Now my reasoning for the lower star rating is the bouncers. It is like Fort Knox here. First warning, do not come here with expired ID! So this part is really my fault. I came here with a group of friends and had no idea my ID had expired. They were really not going to let me in because of it even though I am 28. Thankfully, we were able to go online and renew it right there. Of course, by this point when we finally got in we had to pay a higher cover. My second experience with them was at the end of the night. I guess we were in the restrooms when the place shut down for the night. There were lots of people in there. The bouncers came and turned off the bathroom lights and started yelling at everyone to get out. The way they talked to us was literally disgusting. I get running a tight ship to keep the place under control, but as a respectful law abiding citizen spending money there, I don't appreciate being spoken to like a prisoner! Overall, this place is a fun time just be warned. Kinda turned me off from coming back. read more

I really had a good time here. The place was really big and had a lot to offer! The ball pit is a must while also checking out the ice room. Although the ice room is small, you don't get to see that in the bar that often. I recommend getting there early so you can find a spot to chill out if you don't want to hit the dance floor. Otherwise, the staff was very nice, good music selection, and with the right group of friends your bound for a good time! Hope I get to come back here soon! read more

Disappointed in the Pre-paid $41 for the 3 room, food, and 3 drink special including the ice bar room. The experience was not worth $41 and am disappointed I paid that much. The drinks were very cool to see, all halloween themed but they were so weak they mainly just tasted like soda where I think I left more sober than when I went in. The "snacks" we got at each room I would rate a 1/10. We all went thinking we would be getting decent food as we were told we'd get soft pretzels, cheesesteak, and a tasty cake. The soft pretzel consisted of 5 bite size nuggets. The cheesesteak was the most disappointing as it was maybe 3 bites with about 10 chips on the side. The advertisements were deceiving when it came to the food. We all went in having not eaten dinner, left, and went straight to order food somewhere because we were starving. The only cool part was the Ice bar. That was a great time but you can't bring any food or drinks in the freezer so you look around for a few minutes then leave. The two other rooms (light and mirror) were unimpressive where I didn't even see a mirror. The staff was very fun and energetic with many COVID precautions in place however, overall we were very disappointed with the event. read more

I stopped here over the weekend with a group of friends to celebrate a bachelorette party. We arrived around 11PM and there was already a line to get in. Cover was $5 which is pretty cheap considering the area. I had an interesting experience to say the least. The crowd was mixed with people of different backgrounds and most of them being in their early to mid-20's. The music confused me-the dj was mixing some 2000's, 90's and earlier songs with club/techno beats. At one point he played a club version of a Prince song and at another point he was playing some old Whitney Houston. The music was ok with me and the younger crowd seemed to enjoy it as well. There are two large bars on the main floor and just up a set of stairs there is a second stair case with another bar and the VIP areas. We frequented the upstairs bar to avoid long waits. The dancefloor was jam packed to a point where you could barely do a twostep. Guests would plow into to you to try to make space on the dance floor and my feet were splashed with a mixture of beer and mixed drinks by the end of the night. At the risk of sounding like an old lady, "back in my day we said excuse me as we tried to squeeze through the dance floor and if we spilled our drinks we would apologize". There I said it! The best part of this experience was my short lived trip to the ball pit. The bridesmaids made a reservation for the group which was great because there would have been a 90 minute wait otherwise. I was told you could grease the hostess at $5 a head if you didn't want to wait in line. Drinks were not allowed in the ball bit. When it was our turn we had to remove our shoes and were given socks to put on our feet and rubber straps to secure our phones so we wouldn't lose them in the balls. We were in there about 10 mins which was just enough time to snap a few pics, take a video and be submerged eyeball deep in plastic balls just before we were yelled at to get out. The ball pit was just under waist deep and it was still difficult to walk/crawl through but very fun! As it got later it was just too crowded to enjoy myself. Between being bumped into constantly and losing members of the group we had enough and left around 1:30. As we were leaving there was still a line to get in. Long story short I had an ok time and the ball pit was fun but I don't think I would visit again... read more

ngl concourse is always a cool vibe. my wife says it's my safe place lol. this is probably my last year going unfortunately because I'm definitely aging out of concourse but it's been real seriously. from the ball pit to the ice bar to the infinity room to the dance floor where they ALWAYS blast Whitney at the end of the night, it'll always been full of special memories. read more

This was definitely a vibe. It was a nice crowd bouncers were friendly. A bouncer named Hawk made sure it was a safe environment as soon as there was an incident he came and handled it quickly and everyone just kept dancing like normal. The ice bar is the best part of it imagine dancing being hot and then entering a cool atmosphere with nice ice sculptures and the bar tenders were awesome in there as well as the coat check lady. Me and my two siblings had a great time last night, a Friday night is so far a great time to go in my opinion. I want to try a Saturday next. read more

Have you ever wanted to meet every person in Philly at the same time? If you did, come here. Everyone is here or in the long line outside. I'm not sure if the fire marshal even knows about this place. Quick note, if you are a guy looking to meet women, then don't go to the dance floor. Head to the back, where all of the women are waiting in line for the restrooms. I've never seen a bouncer at the women's restroom door, but it is appreciated to prevent cutters. Anyways, this place has a ball pit. You can either grab the next spot of pay a few bucks to reserve a time. We went in a few times before 9:00 pm. At that point, we had to wait hours. I'm good for the rest of my life. Plastic cup bars are not where I want to be. Wait hours for five minutes in the pit. I'm sure I'll be back, because my wife is insane. When you get in, you can take the stupid steps or you could ride an awesome enclosed slide. We chose the slide. There is a coat check and a few bars surrounding the dance floor. This is going to be the most happening place this summer. Get in line now... read more

Ever since COVID, my friends and I were so sad to see the closing of Concourse. But ever since they reopened as an ice bar, we have loved it. We have been here twice since the reopening and it is very COVID safe. The tables are distanced and you have to reserve tables so there are a limited number of people in each room at a time. The ice bar was very cool, and picturesque. The food and drinks included in the ticket price were well worth it as well! read more

I love Concourse! I've been twice and both times were positive experiences. Go early to avoid long lines and claim your spot on the dance floor. The crowd on each visit has been really diverse and I love that! Everyone busting a move in harmony is always a great thing. The Friday night DJ was on point last night, mixing tons of old school jams with newer music. He read the crowd really well and made adjustments as needed. I wasn't drinking but my friend had a couple different cocktails, including the grape crush and a fishbowl. I had a sip of each and thought the grape crush was surprisingly delicious - like a grape popsicle! Our bartender at the back bar with long blonde hair was a total doll. I'm already planning my next visit and can't wait to get my dance on again! read more

Concourse Ice Bar was an amazing experience, and definitely worth our money. We walked in and got three drink and food tickets, all of which were in 3 different locations. Every table was very distant, so we felt very safe. Halloween themed cocktails were incredible and very strong. We were very pleased they used top shelf liquor and had really good music. The ice lounge was also amazing and socially distant as well. Would recommend to any person visiting or wanting something to do here in Philly. read more
