Reviews
Pretty good venue for themed nights. They have an upstairs and downstairs and both levels have a roomy dance floor. It still gets crowded especially on weekends so be prepared to bump shoulders with people. Bar staff is super friendly! Coat check staff is sad/unfriendly.
The Barbary is a sweet "hole in the wall" type bar however for being so small, they have an excellent sound system. It's a great place to catch local bands or see smaller shows. Drinks are relatively cheap super cheap compared to the Fillmore across the street and the staff is super chill. My experiences have been downstairs, but there is a whole other bar upstairs. Fun place!
What a place! They are renovating now but can’t wait coming back once they are done. Heart for underground, vision for invocation. It can’t get any better.
Really cool venue with a really good vibe about it. Has 2 bars. An upstairs and downstairs. Saw Richie Ramone of The Ramones there. Had a great time and stayed to dance upstairs after.
Very cool history in the venue. Stickers for all kinds of bands on poles and walls. Went to see The Great Enough perform at the I99 Radio Birthday show. Had a really good time with my friends and the music. Would go again.
Dance! Dance! Dance! Dance! Dance! Update: This review needs to be more descriptive. I always have a great time at The Barbaryexcluding that one time I went and felt like headbanging and moshing instead of dancing, so I walked to The Ave. Gina and some of the other promoters have always organized awesome events since the reopening in JuneSorry, I have yet to check out Tiger Beats, Birdup, and Unicorn Party just to name a few. The staff is always friendly, security staff pretty much knows me by name or by my face at this pointin a good way , and the crowd is always a vibe! I'm usually there every weekend if I'm in the city.
Extremely fun club. There are two floors with two different options for music. The bottom floor was more electronic and the upper floor was hip-hop. It got very busy around midnight. The drinks are tasty, and they have a great selection. It was very nice to have a place to store the jackets although it cost $3 per hanger.
I'm new to the city and this is my new favorite bar. I haven't been inside yet due to covid, but I love how the DJs are set up in the window right now. Who doesn't want to dance outside in the setting sun?! The music is amazing, the outdoor space is awesome, the bartenders are sweet tip them well!, and the bouncers are friendly too. I loved the crowd, so many fun, welcoming people. Can't wait for next time!
Establishment is nice, but the service specifically bartenders are slimy. My friend and I both opened respective tabs at the bar and ordered a couple rounds of drinks. At the end of the night, when going to close out, they told my friend they didn’t have any card with his last name. I could accept it if they were just honest and said they lost the card, but they tried telling us we never gave them a card to begin with. To make matters worse, they charged all of my friend’s drinks to my card, weren’t willing to remove it, and then my friend continued to have his card used at that bar for the remainder of the night. I wouldn’t feel comfortable using anything but cash at this bar and would definitely urge customers to pay close attention to what they’re being charged when using a card.
Fun! Definitely would go back! Very casual and chill vibe. Not a grope-y place unless you want it to be :P The crowd was kinda mixed. My little group was the only group of East Asians! LGBTQ Friendly. We went on 00’s night and people were having a blast. The "Mayor of the Club" really pumped up the crowd with his energy and dance moves. Door people & Bartenders were very nice, too. Not crowded before midnight. Bravo to my friend for picking this spot! We are gonna go again when I come back to Philly.
