by Cyndi Carr on "UPSKIRT" Do I have your attention now? Good. The Republican is that good. And I am NOT one to give 5 star reviews willy-nilly. Basically the Republican is a yuppie-free after hours spot in south Philly. YES - there ARE hipster there - but if you have to be around hipster you definitely want be around them during this magical 2am-3:30am time. For during these hours they are too drunk to act like little pretentious Steve Urkels and annoy everyone that's normal. Again, the major plus is there are no yuppies here - it's too dirty for them - yet south enough in south Philly for the hipsters who go here to not get out of hand and disrespect the neighborhood. From the outside there is no sign indicating what it is - and I don't mean this in a doucky fake faux-speak easy wy like "The Franklin Mortgage and Investment Company" (formerly Bar Noir on 18th street) - but more in a "It'd be cheaper just to not have windows" way. Once inside you are greeted by the nice owner who is cool. Then you get a bar, strippers, and a couch. If you require ANYTHING more it means you are a goddam YUPPIE! A chill environment for chill people. One of those spots where everyone minds their business OR decides to mingle - but never any posing like you see downtown (that means Center City for you transplants...) All in all it's a great spot to get away from the mindless flocks of reclusive Antarctic lesbian bitchclowns (lolz) roaming around downtown sipping $20 watered-down COCK-tails downtown while striking a pose for the cover of "NOT! Magazine." LOL! Reccomended. Service - A --- Atmosphere - A --- Bar service - A ---- Strippers - A (for effort and... we.... UPSKIRT!!) And remember If you don't like it, it means you are a yuppie - so just go back home and pay your adjustable rate mortgage until you suffocate in debt. Upskirt
by Charles Schlarbaum on I stopped by for some Sunday breakfast, and was pretty disappointed. This place felt like it was trying pretty hard to be hip. I'm mostly okay with that, except the staff were apparently too cool to be pleasant, helpful, or even competent. I was served a lukewarm cup of mediocre coffee and a meh breakfast burrito; my girlfriend's grilled sandwich was completely half-assed and falling apart. Overall I felt like they weren't even trying to create a passable food experience. The only thing preventing me from giving them a 1-star rating is that the fresh orange juice was good.
by Nydia C. on I had been here several times before but never for a concert. When I found out She Wants Revenge was playing at Webster Hall I knew I had to go! Not only was it an awesome show but the venue itself made for a more intimate setting. Even if you weren't standing right in front of the stage, you still had a good view of the band. The drinks are a little on the smaller side but I wouldn't mind this so much if they were served in actual glassware vs. plastic cups the way they do at Highline Ballroom but I'm not surprised. I'm hoping more of my favorite bands play here soon. :)
