A great place for ginos and their gross girls

by kennyghair

This place is the worst, if I didnt get in for free i would be p/oed. The sound system is a monster, and the djs are tight and thats saying alot cause I hated most of the music thay played, its very house and techno oriented, and I like both those types of music, but their selections were bad, and they didnt seem to read the crowd. The people there seemed ok with the djs but it was a dead dance floor and it seemed like alot of people were waiting for a good song to dance to but they never found it. I went on a wensday night a the djs were awesome, great selection and very tight mixing. The crowd that goes their is very Jersey musclehead types, not many females and the ones that were there for the most part were too old to be dressing the way they did, belly shirts showing off their guts and bad breast jobs. The drinks were outragously overpriced, 9 bucks for a whiskey and ginger, cmon this is philly, and the dummy serving me couldnt make change for a 50. I will prolly go there again cause its the only afterhours in old city and i like to dance so I would go on a wensday again cause its free so if i've had enough to drink already it a cheap end to a night. The door staff was nice but the bouncers were too "hands on" when trying to get people out at 3:20am. Dont bring your girl if you dont wanna have to deal with armani exchange shirted dudes trying to buy her drinks (which was fine cause I couldnt afford to pay all night) And it was free to be a member so thats cool too. But all in all I wouldnt reccomend this place to people that I liked unless they were going with enough people to make it seem like there isnt any morons there, cause they abound in this place

• Pros: Great soundsystem, skilled djs, big dance floor
• Cons: dumb staff, gross people, way over priced, too many jersey people,

The former Proto Lounge has a new name and new furniture, but retains its Old City 20-something scene.

In Short
By opening the space up to the sidewalk, this spot seems less like a nightclub beneath a parking garage and more like someone's fancy open living room with mod accoutrements (cushy couches, funky hammock swings and even a waterfall). The dance floor itself is small enough to be deemed intimate, with a silvery DJ booth from which the mix masters spin everything from trancey, mellow electronica to hardcore breakbeats and soulful house tunes.

best saturday night

by phillygurl23

i can't think of a bar in old city with a better atmosphere than lounge 125. trendy but not cheesy, you can sit on the couch and have a drink and a conversation or dance to great music spun by some of philly's best dj's. the best part is that they are open for afterhours and right next to the parking garage so you don't have to freeze your butt off walking to your car.

• Pros: good looking crowd, great music, fun atmosphere
• Cons: a little pricy, gets crowded latenite

Great Little Spot in Old City

by mbenzgt

I challenge anyone to find a spot in Old City like this one. If you want to lounge and drink in a cool/laidback decor with the option to dance this is the spot. You frequently see people dancing in bars/lounges in Old City with no dance floor to do it on. This spot actually gives you the option with great DJs and a good looking crowd. Although, the place is far from a nightclub so don't expect that type of scene. Unlike other places this one works with being small. I also like the option of bottle service. Overall a great place to hang-out.

• Pros: Decor, Crowd, Dance Floor
• Cons: May Get Too Crowded

Great Music

by melly7mel

I love the music here. A great DJ who spins a variety of hip hop, with a lot of old school mixed in, and great house/dance music. The atmoshpere is open and airy making it easy to socialize and giving the aura of classiness. The service from the staff is top notch.

• Pros: Music, Clean, Good Atmosphere
• Cons: bathrooms in odd spot
