by Sara C. on The decor, the decor, the decor. The place is so cool and unusual. Great after work drink spot. The guys are well dressed as are the ladies. The drinks are strong and although there isn't a dance floor there is lots going on. different little rooms to investigate and roam. It's not a romantic date place and it's not a meat market. It's a cool tweener. Enjoy!
by Zhanna P. on This is my absolute favorite restaurant in Philly! I come here often and always bring new people. Great date place as well. They don't take reservations so prepare to wait if it is a busy night. The roof deck in the summer is impeccable. The food isn't too expensive and the crowd is really nice. My favorite is the French onion soup dumplings, calamari salad, and lobster pad thai. They have a variety of creative cocktails for every type of taste. I really love "the astronaut" drink. Fun Fact: It used to be called the "buzz aldrin" but apparently he came in and was unhappy to have a drink named after him considering he had an alcohol problem. The service isn't the best, with the waiters being a little slow, but the atmosphere and food make up for it. The food comes out as it is ready and it comes out fast, so if you're hungry, the wait isn't long after your order. I would suggest staying away from the basket chairs as they look a lot more fun than they are.
by Jung Salsgiver on I liked how this place has free limo service for UCLA students. I don't know if it was just a temporary thing, but my friends and I would get picked up on Frat Row and were whisked away to Busby's for a good time. You just had to call the promoter ahead of time, and he'd ask the driver to stop at a convenient location. I think this is a great service, especially since college students can be really stupid sometimes and try to drive while drunk. BIG NO NO!!! There's no cover charge for hanging out at this place, which has pool tables, TVs, an arcade section, and plenty of seats. What I did not like was the tiny dance floor they had. It was hard to move around, which made it harder to run away from the old guys who were there trying to pick up girls. Shameless, shameless, shameless!
