I am not a fan of reviewing clubs, there are too many variables to give a true indication of what you can expect to experience. The dj, the line, the crowd, the bar staff, the door girl, the bouncers-- often have varying levels of self entitlement, but self entitlement, nonetheless. We organised a big group of friends last Saturday to sign up for the guestlist ($10 before 10) which we thought was a good deal, as we didn't line up long, and its always nice to get in for a drink or two before the place starts pumping. That's until I get a call from a guy friend outside who weren't letting guys in without girls. Not only was his only chance of getting in was with a girl on his arm, it couldn't be ANY girl-- (not even from a bunch of single girls walking in) she had to be HIS girl. Even after 3 more of our couple friends showed up, he wouldn't let him pass without a girl friend that doesn't exist. Luckily, I had a friend show up last minute, and we get in, 30 minutes later. Had it not been for the 10 friends we already had inside, I'd have told the bouncer to eff off and taken our money somewhere else. Who do they think buys us girls drinks at the bar in the first place?

OK folks, after seeing the West Philly Orchestra at Johnny Brendas on Saturday night, I feel like Billy Maze describing it. Johnny Brendas is a can do it all product, which can handle all of your going out needs. Need a place for mid afternoon snack or lunch? have the cubano, or the burger, but I suggest the cubano. Great sandwich, cold beer, and a cool juke box, what more can you ask for. But wait, there's more. Johnny Brendas is a full on corner bar, with outside seating and a pool table( did i mention the jukebox) any night of the week a great place to sink more than a couple. Did i mention that it's a music venue? Well, it is. It actually is the best music venue in Philadelphia. Clear sound ,good sight lines, and a bar on both dance and balcony floor. Great mix of musical styles booked there. Get on their mailing list, they will send you a weekly schedule of bands with description of each act. You are probably saying to yourself, well that's great but sometimes i would rather just have a fine meal, and need to go to old city or somewhere. no my friends, the dinner entrees at JB are a treat in themselves. My duck breast in a wine and cherry reduction served with fresh green beans and gratin potato's was flawless. i would have expected to pay 10 dollars more for such a meal. if you act now, your Jb experience comes with easy to get street parking, absolutely free! drink eat or dance, you must act now!

I'm not exactly sure how I feel about the eclectic decor at Velvet Margarita. It's like the creepy offspring that resulted from Goth meeting Mexican, but for some odd reason, I think I like it. Cool Stuff: *Drinks are delicious! ...although I couldn't really enjoy mine 'cause tequila and hangovers don't mix. *Chips with 3 dipping sauces/salsas! Next time I'm just gonna go for drinks and chips. *Super friendly staff *Strange decor that somehow works... Not-So-Cool Stuff: *Uncomfortable seating. The back of the booth is actually the wall, so you're forced to sit perfectly straight. If you have you're hair tied in a ponytail like I did tonight, you're forced to tilt your head forward the entire time. *THE BATHROOM. I don't know what the men's bathroom looks like, but the women's bathroom is SCARY AS &%^#!! Red lighting works well in some places, but NOT in bathrooms. And what's with the stall on the right?! Why does it have a creepy side-room with a sinister-looking piece of furniture? I didn't even dare to look inside long enough to figure out what that was...
