Here's what you want and what Crystal Tea Room had: multiple bartenders, never running out of alcohol, tables and chairs, lots of bathrooms, plentiful food, live music, room to spread out and a dance floor. Many places won't tell you that they don't have this. And that's why people say they learned to not go out on nye lol. Do your due diligence and party like an adult - not a child.

My friends suggested that we stop by the Punk Rock Flea Market, which was held at the armory…read more Hey - why not? An armory is a perfect place for a DIY punk show, so why couldn't one host a flea market? The event was a success. There were plenty of vendors who were selling everything from old vinyl to thrift clothing to homemade artwork and more - all with a punk rock attitude. The venue itself is a-ok. It's obviously an old military armory, complete with a few military artifacts. I'm not sure if it's still used for military purposes, however its website advertises it can be rented out for corporate expos, tradeshows, weddings and other events. There's plenty of space for all these things, though not many bells and whistles. A note - the bathrooms are downstairs. I didn't see an elevator, so you may want to inquire about one if you think your guests may need it.

Attended a wedding here and it was beautiful! Was in awe from the moment we walked through the…read morefront door. However, for a wedding, it was a little tough. There was only one bathroom, and going up and down the stairs (in heels) got to be a huge hassle. After the ceremony ended, that room was closed off and everyone had to squeeze in the tiny entrance room for the cocktail hour. Once the reception started, everything was the complete opposite -- very spread out and separated, which wasn't terrible, but the major issue was the main reception room. Their were hardly any tables for such a large number of people and the dance floor was tiny. We made do and still enjoyed ourselves, but would have liked to eat sitting down at an actual table! Although this type of venue wouldn't be my first choice for a wedding specifically, it was still beautiful and if the layout doesn't bother you, the decor and feel of the place overall were perfect!

Was here over the weekend for a wedding and was impressed by the beauty of this old mansion. I was…read moreshocked to learn that the mansion was previously a private residence due to the massive size of the place. It was an interesting wedding venue due to the multiple floors.

Pros: gorgeous venue for pictures Multiple floors with different amenities Multiple bars Cons: ONE BATHROOM!!!!!! Smoking allowed on the third floor Very small dance floor

Thank you for the experience and I look forward to many more dining experiences together.

The Pyramid Club is an interesting place and I have known about it for a very long time. It always…read moreseemed as if it was some mythical place that one would eventually get to go at some point by invite or cosmic intervention. That cosmic intervention finally happened for myself in the form of an invite to lunch by a friend of mine, and I was very excited about finally set my eyes upon the storied club. Following the exciting and quite long elevator ride to the top, I was surprised by how empty it was for lunch, but that only increased the appeal as it felt very exclusive and quiet. Let me start with that the food was good; very good in fact, but nothing special or to write home about. What really makes the place shine is the views, the feeling of exclusivity, and the staff. The staff is the real highlight and plays into every aspect of a great time here. You are treated as an honored guest from the minute you arrive until the minute you leave, and it is amplified if you are someone's guest they really put the effort in to treat everyone with the utmost respect and make the dining and relaxation experience at the price point that I am sure the members are paying for the opportunity. The views of the city are wonderful. Having worked a job that allowed me access to the roofs of nearly every high rise in the city, I have seen every angle and panorama of Philadelphia from up high, but the windowed seat views of the entire city while dining here are unparalleled. It is nothing if not the biggest selling point of the experience. I would love to return to see the view at night, but I don't think I will likely ever have that opportunity. If you have the luck of being invited here or given a chance at membership, check it out. It's one of the most unique places to eat in Market st financial area, and you won't regret it.

The ceremony was held in their covered outdoor space which was remarkable! The indoor cocktail hour was great with indoor and outdoor seating and bars and plenty of varied food. Again beautiful views all around and outstanding service. The food was great, drinks were very good. They were not too sweet nor too strong yet not weak. Very well made drinks! The reason for my four stars are the bathrooms. The indoor restroom was located on the lower level with a very very long and steep staircase. With several ladies in heels and mature adults I saw it as a hazard. The reception was held in another room (open air ) but completely covered in a tent which was perfect! it was warm, decorated nicely and did not feel like a tent by by means. The views are absolutely breathtaking! The service was outstanding! The food was very good but my fav were the desserts. They had freshly made crepes and a variety of sweets, cookies, patties etc.

The owner was incredibly attentive and made sure everything was running smoothly the entire time, which allowed me to actually enjoy my event without worrying about logistics. The pricing was more than fair, and what truly set this space apart was the extra care and support. Ms. Lucy went above and beyond by offering to help setup decorations and helping me bring my vision to life. Her input and attention to detail made a huge difference, and the final result was better than I could have imagined. This was hands down the best birthday party I've ever had, and a big part of that was due to how well this space was managed. I would absolutely book here again and recommend it to anyone looking for a beautiful, well-run venue with someone who genuinely cares about making your event special!! 10/10 -- highly recommend and will definitely be returning

The service is prompt but gruff, though I'd argue that's part of the rustic anarchist community center feel. Our server, Mud, was able to give us some great guidance and was especially helpful for pairing hummus with our mushrooms. Everything you've heard is 100% true and then some! Obviously the mushrooms are the main event, and every time I go they're top-notch juicy and perfectly cooked. Don't skip dessert! The housemade vegan french toast is out-of-this-world good, so save room on your main course!

I received a free coworking pass to check out their location and although they advertise 24/7…read moreaccess they would not honor my pass for my regular work hours (late afternoon to evening). If a space is truly a coworking space and available for other than a 9-5 schedule then you should allow creatives and those entrepreneurs who do not work a traditional vanilla schedule the same opportunities as those who do. This is discrimination against those who do not adhere to the framework of an office type environment. Isn't the typical office type of environment that which you buck against as a non traditional type of work environment is this just marketing BS? I fullyunderstand that the front desk staff leaves at 5 as do most in other coworking entities and that safety and concern should be used in vetting your patrons. Perhaps there should be staff in the evenings then? Perhaps there should be a camera system in place? Perhaps you should be vetting your guests to ensure nighttime safety if the concern is that your work environment is or can be unsafe without supervision. Either way, it is Kismet that Kismet did not honor my free pass. The preordination, predetermination, what is to come, the writing on the wall, all those kismet-ish signs point to a space NOT meant to be sampled in real time and a space NOT suitable to create in (after 5:00 pm) unless you sign up at which point you won't know if the space is suitable to work in after 5 ( as advertised 24/7) until you have already committed. I would suggest that you change your hours or find a a way to accommodate a base of creatives in Philadelphia who would like to find a workspace to try out that does not adhere to a basic schedule but mostly, just change your hours to match your approach or your approach to match your hours and it won't come off as discriminatory. Update: Thanks for your response but I did not just call to "check" in on your pass. I hope that you are not insinuating that I did not have an actual pass. I own a property where free passes were available to those within our community. It was an actual bookmarked shaped pass with a foldable promotional card and I was genuinely excited to come see the space based on your marketing. When I called it was to verify that this was a real pass for the day. As stated, I understand the hard line take you have on security. This understanding does not make you exempt from honoring your pass or having adequate staffing. You should have the passes reprinted to say " for use between 9-5 only."

We were able to bring our own drinks and snacks to have available for our guests, which was awesome as we do not have a large budget just yet. The event staff there the night of event was so helpful with moving furniture, sharing things with us that we forgot (like napkins!), and even helping us carry things to our car after the event.
