Reviews for Johnny Brenda's in Philadelphia, PA
Special venue. Lot of character, and a really interesting layout. Loved the upstairs viewpoints, and the bartenders were... friendly. Beer is cheap. Good sound, I don?t think there?s much more to ask for in a venue like this. Read more
The most unique live music venue I have been to! Excellent staff (very friendly / professional). 1st floor is bar / booths and... tables w/ pool table. 2nd floor is a smaller stage / another bar. Best part: highly recommend balcony corner view. Great photoslooking down on band. Outside dining section to enjoy warm summer nights. More intimate atmosphere for experiencing bands /loved it! Another aspect I loved: $2.00 Diet Coke. Another way Johnny Brenda's is focused on guest safety / designated drivers.Speaking of safety: Id checks and security was easily visible. This is huge with me. Wide variety of beverages with greatbartenders. Honestly loved a few looks. After 6 years of visiting / covering Philadelphia, Johnny Brenda's was my intro toPhiladelphia night life. I was told they were a great intro. Completely agree. Weekend of August 27th was my official end ofsummer. Thanks to everyone at Johnny Brenda's for helping to make a great one! Read more
Fantastic small venue with great views wherever you stand. Really good sound and lighting too. It was really hot so dress... accordingly and drink lots of free water from the bar. Get there early if you want to be front row. Read more
This small but tall venue provides a few levels where you can sit or stand to watch bands perform. The crowded space does make... the sound reverberate and become overwhelmingly loud. The drinks are good but served in plastic cups which gives it a cheapfeel. The bands that perform are quite good. Read more
Saw Born Ruffians perform here and it was an amazing time! There is a bar on both floors and the small venue makes for a very... intimate experience. The whole building was pretty unique. I highly recommend if you want to get close to your favorite artistwithout being smothered. Read more
Best food and drinks! Bartenders are super friendly! Atmosphere is incredible if you are downstairs with the fricken awesome Dj... and open pool. Upstairs has a great line up of bands every weekend! Definitely one of my favorite spots! Read more
Nice neighborhood bar & Restaurant. I was upstairs for a free concert with various people performing in a band together. It's... like Adult rock high school. They were all great in doing their special performance. Go Fergie!! You rock!! (He is my friend).???? Read more
Kitchen is open until late with very delicious food, including creative vegetarian and vegan options. Omnivore friend said it... was one of the best burgers he's had. Friendly bartender, super chill vibe. Great local beer selection. Read more
