Attended the Punk Flea Market which was held at the Armory. Cant say much negative or positive of the actual armory. I will say that there is a great parking garage right next door which made the whole parking thing a non issue. Would definitely attend another event there!

I went to a flee market that was well placed and the armory was large enough to hold the event without to much bumping and sarcastic Im sorry. It was easy to get to and close to the bus stop. The alley was lined with food trucks which I believe is the norm for the events that this places holds.

Me and my husband went to the Philadelphia Oddities Market on April 20th, there was lots of great vendors and friendly people! Loved that the Oddities Market was at the 23rd Street Armory...Hope they come back next year!

Beautiful venue. We went to a wedding here. I dont know if they brought their own caterers or how it worked, but I will say it was a terrific venue for a big wedding, everything was lovely.

We were there in the Spring, with the doors and windows open and it was cool, do not think it is Air conditioned, for a Philadelphia Veterans Multi-Service and Education Center Fund Raiser Dinner and Fashion show. The caterer s food was great .

Dont ever come to an Oktoberfest here. 4 years in and Brauhaus Schmitz still cant figure out how to run a large scale event properly.

Beautiful façade, inside is always crowded for flea markets.

Review №29

It is wonderfully open space for an event, but book with caution. The floors and bathroom were filthy, and our choice was to clean them or leave them dirty. We also had to run out for tp and handtowels. I think it would have required 1/2 the volunteer hours if wed picked a less cool bit cleaner space. Basically, assume that your event is in a barn.

This is a huge building that holds government vehicles of many different funtions. The space they rent out for events or a movie shoot. They move the vehicles outside for those occasions.

Review №55

Neat venue. Your experience will always depend on the event. Open floor. Doesnt get too loud, gets chilly but not awful. Certainly beats roasting to death.

First time I was here was for their first Oktoberfest. They did a great job with atmosphere and music, it looks great. Obviously they got more interest then they thought, though. Its going to be a great day but there are way too many people here. Hopefully the fire marshal doesnt see this post. It looks like they just kept accepting people after, I presume it sold out.

Good event space. This is a full time PA National Guard outpost that also doubles as event space in Center City West. The coolest part of the space is the 4th floor museum with so much PA history.
