Great little venue in the basement of an old building. Plenty of legroom and the sound quality seemed pretty good. Fairly well stocked bar with quite a few good beers on tap. Water and sodas are available too. Also, it looks like every seat has a decent view of the stage.

Great menu excellent sound system awesome vibe. Cool bartenders and a respectful security staff.just enough flare to make your Instagram backgrounds pop without looking pretentious like they planned it. It does look like a lot of thought went into this place and I appreciate it.

Went to see Andy black on the 16th of May. Had an absolute blast the entire time. Event staff was extremely helpful. The venue was modern but also had that 90s grunge feel to it. Would go back every single time!!

Nice inside but very quit these days.

I love this venue space! Its small and a little grungy, but full of character. The sound was excellent and even though the show was sold out and the floor got pretty crowded, it never felt uncomfortable. Im very much looking forward to my next experience here!

The atmosphere is so cool, smooth and dope as if youve stepped into a more updated blues room. The vibe is always dope and the people are super friendly. The amount of undiscovered talent in the building every Tuesday will give you CHILLS! I never leave without having been moved to tears, covered in goosebumps and full up on love, good food and liquor

Underground Arts had a great vibe and the space was comfortable even though it was a packed house. However, for the comedy show we saw it probably wasnt the best venue, there are several very large support beams that cut off vision to the stage. Due to car trouble we got there just before the show started and there was standing room only, normally that would be fine but it was a hassle to find a viewing point that wasnt at least partially blocked. The show was great maybe just not the right venue for that type of show.

Went to a first person arts storytelling slam show here for Valentines day. Staff is friendly, drinks are reasonable, and food is small, but tasty! Would go back.

Awesome music venue in Philly. Sound system is spectacular. Great viewing angles for most of the place besides two big concrete pillars. Doesnt get insanely crowded and you do have some space to maneuver. Tickets for this place are also relatively affordable compared to other spots in the city. If your a band you want to see is playing there dont hesitate to buy a ticket.

What a great small venue. The bathrooms were spacious and clean. Multiple bars for all your needs. I cant wait for my next show there!

Saw supermega live here and had a great time! Plenty of beer on hand just not enough chairs for the show I saw and pillars got in the way at times

Awesome venue. They got two spacious rooms with a bar and neon lights. The crowd is mostly in their mid 20s and you will sometimes see local brands sell street wear here.

It seems like this venue should not be as good as it is. giant poles are somehow never a problem. sound is always good. stage is low but sightlines are surprisingly good. i love this place!

Quickly becoming one of Philadelphias best intimate venues to see bands.

Went here for the first time because their Snack Time event looked interesting. Cool venue and the food was good. Id give it a higher rating except that I felt cheated. The tickets I bought were supposed to include what was listed on the menu along with music. The meal was supposed to include dessert - specifically a fancy cheesecake. They never served any dessert. They had an ice cream cart there, which you could pay extra for, and which only had one kind of ice cream, which I couldnt eat because of an allergy. I asked three different people working there about the cheesecake and none of them had a clue what I was talking about, even after I showed them the menu I bought tickets for. So... that was really disappointing.Also, the ad for this event was deceptive because it said that there would be music by several artists. They failed to mention that all the artists were playing as a single jazz band. There was no description of the music to be played, just these names and googling the names didnt produce any results. I assumed there would be multiple bands...So, whoever is in charge of promotions should probabaly be a a little more explanatory in their ads. And they shouldnt say you are paying for a meal which includes dessert and then not provide it.:(

Came here for a dance party and had a blast. The DJ played an amazing set of songs, they even released a playlist of the songs on Spotify which was awesome. The dance floor is huge and awesome! They have another room connected to the dance floor and its filled with couches and chairs so you can relax and there are two bars. The bartenders are friendly. I am excited to come to more shows here

I really enjoyed the underground vibes and I rocked out hard to some great bands. The drinks were at a reasonable price and while parking in the area is tight I didnt have a hard time finding a spot. Definitely a great place to go see live shows!

This is a great room for music. Every act Ive seen has been provided great sound and temperature. Bigger than Boot and Saddle and smaller than Union Transfer, perfect for the 500 to 600 capacity show with a very chill vibe to boot.

Price was reasonable had a bar and a kitchen. Had a good view of the stage and could have gotten closer if I wanted to.

I enjoy relaxing and taking in the view at the newly renovated railroad park. I cannot wait for the next extension of the park to built in the future.

Great venue. And the show we saw was stellar. My only complaint was that they closed the bar at 1am.

Nice crowd and venue to showcase your art. Get there early to secure your best spot!

Great little place, viewing angles for the stage are not kind to the vertically challenged

One of my favorite venues in the city. Great aesthetics, atmosphere and shows. Drinks arent priced too bad and they actually have some food for sale at the bar.

What can i say? Underground Arts always has great shows. This place will go down in Philly history

First time there. Really cool place. Heard some really great local music there tonight. Stateside was incredible!!

Went here for a burlesque show on Saturday. Good atmosphere, people were nice, good beer selection. Only thing a little disappointed about was lack of food. My sister is a diabetic and her sugar level dropped and they literally only had 1 cheese and pepper tamale. Thank God we grabbed it before someone else did or my sister wouldve passed out. Otherwise, it was a nice place.

Been there once. Made the trip from Canada to see a show. I’d be there more often if i was not that far.

Everyone was so nice a friendly. The fashion show was great. Spookiest Kidz fashion was straight fire. Looking forward to the next fashion show. For the summer with Spookiest Kidz

Great sound and plenty of standing room. Beware the giant pillars though.

If youre looking for an intimate venue this is the place! Reasonably priced beer as well.

Very cool no frills small place..One bar, one bathroom and a very small stage. The sound is good inside and it is loud.

Always loved this spot. Former bomb shelter turned Nerf factory turned Philly underground music powerhouse. Sound system could use an update, but the good beer selection and reasonably priced pretty tasty bar food make up for it, as well as the intimacy of the venue. Definitely catch a show there if you can!

Awesome venue to see a concert! Very intimate...Drinks and food reasonably priced..Easy parking right across the street for $15..Have been here many times!

Nice and spacious. Of course when there is a lot of people, its hot! But I enjoyed myself and would go again for sure. Ladies fair warning the bathroom does not have Women on the door. It says Them, I am assuming to respect the gender pronouns. I am all for it but it confused me because the Men restroom is labeled Men. Overall, lovely experience!! I went when Jidenna was performing.

I LOVE UA! Great shows!

We were told that this place was open on Tuesday for a open mic from a local. (Were from Miami) but it was closed. Next time we are in town hopefully we can stop thru.

Fun little venue thats literally underground. Great for a random night adventure. Bar has a good selection of beers on draft and in cans. Theres a VERY limited food menu where basically everything is fried.

Nice venue. I like that the bar is in a seprate room from the main event, every inch of this place is interesting, its got a really goodfeel to it. Nice energy. Will be back

This is one of the most unique venues in the Philly area. Its an odd little place that feels like youre hanging in someones basement but it also is great for the same reason. There are several obstructions, depending on where youre standing. If you dont mind GA and standing, its a cool little place.

Went to see TR/ST and the place was amazing. Bartenders were nice, show was great. However, the bouncers and security were very very rude. Other than that, cool spot.

I came in from out of state to see a show here. The look and feel of the venue is really neat and entry to the show is well organized and fast (probably one of the quickest entries Ive had) It is a totally different feel being in the basement/underground. The area is kept cool and comfortable. All around a great place to see a show!

Really love the chill, laid back atmosphere here. Reasonably priced drinks and good staff make this one of the best venues in Philly.

Not a bad place to see a show. Several bars, with space to move around.

Great live music venue. Parking nearby.

The sound was really outstanding for a smallish venue. Really cool design on the inside and a great crowd to be part of. Were from out of town and wish we had a place like this at home for concerts

Awesome small venie

You can feel the creativity seeping from the walls

It was downpouring for over a half hour and they wouldnt let us in. The line would have completely fit in the stairwell and saved us all from sitting through the show in completely soaked through clothes and shaking the whole time. The two young workers at the door could not have cared less that we were standing in an absolute downpour while they were nice and dry under the overhang. When we got downstairs to show our tickets, the man working was genuinely shocked and confused as to why they didnt let us in to that stairwell to wait.

When comes to music venues this place is ideal. Perfect sized room, room sounds good, great atmosphere, bars are conveniently located and reasonably priced. To top it all off they book some really great shows. Definitely recommended.

I called this venue to inquire about what time they would open for the Jidenna concert. I was told, The doors open at 8 and the concert starts at 9. I then asked, should I come early. The response was, 7:45 or so should be fine, because we wont open the doors until 8. I did just that and as I type the review its 8:41 & I have been in a line that has not moved AT ALL SINCE I ARRIVED. This is EXACTLY why I prefer VIP. I wish that was an option...But moreover I WISH THE DOORS OPENED AT 8 AS I WAS TOLD WHEN I CALLED!

This space is an awesome place for shows. Decent size but not too big, three bars, two rooms. The room with the stage is great except the two giant pillars that are tough to see around- if youre short, youll definitely want to try to get closer to the stage.

The location is easy to spot from the road, and there is a lot of available nearby parking lots (which are paid spots). The actual venue is in the basement, and once inside the aesthetic is cool and edgy. The sound mix, however, was one of the worst Ive heard. They turned up the bass guitar and bass drums, which drowned everything out except high frequency vocals. I will most likely not go to another show due to such poor sound quality.

The wife and I have been there 3 times, so far, and always have a good time. Its relatively easy to get to, and theres a parking lot directly across the street. The staff is courteous, helpful, and professional. The venue has a great visual aesthetic and intimacy to it. The alcohol can get a bit pricey, but it is the city. They do, however, have a great deal on tall PBRs. Underground Arts is definitely worth a visit if youre favorite band is performing, and there is always plenty of talent coming through.

Saw The Clarks last weekend and they were fantastic (as expected). The venue was intimate, sound great, staff very helpful. Parking across the street an extra bonus. Overall an excellent experience!

This place is great! There was a concert I wanted to bring my 14 year old daughter to but it said 18+ only. I emailed them and received a prompt reply from a member of their management stating that as long as I was with her then they had no problem with her attending. Plus there’s a little corner area setup inside the venue where all of the parents ended up hanging out where we still had a good view of the stage!

Great little venue the sound system here is pretty decent good atmosphere

I work above and right beside it...its great

Always a good time! Reasonable prices, decent food and great sound system. One of my favorite places to check out acts.

Not a big turn out this year.

Good venue, two large rooms, each with a full bar. Music venue room is the first upon entering. Further in is a separate room that is relatively well insulated from the sound volume. Seating available in the 2nd room: chairs, couches, tables. No smoking.

Great live music, great vegan food

I loved this venue! It had a great vibe and an intimate setting for the show. Sound was great for the two sets I saw here recently.

The blacklights are a GREAT TOUCH. I have only visited once for a show but it was very spacious, clean bathrooms, quick bartenders and a WONDERFUL sound system. I felt that bass in my body for sure! Go check it out. Oh, and they have a coat rack if you need it!

I’ve seen many shows here and have really grown to love this place (even if Edgar Froese didn’t). You might be a little shocked when you first walk in to this cavernous (underground, of course), dark, but unique setting. They have 2 separate rooms with stages, bars and full setup. They have wisely reconfigured the original layout to much greater effect. The sound is great considering that it is essentially a concrete bunker. They also get really cool underground (see what I did there) bookings.

Great venue for metal and rock shows.

Id guess it depends on what youre here to see. We had GA tickets for a burlesque show. The website stated that it would be listed as seated if it was going to be - this one was not listed as such. Got to the venue and the entire center area was filled with chairs, all taken, so we had to fill in around the sides and back. With the four gigantic pillars in the way, this was not easy. Sight lines were terrible. This, along with the fact that it was unbearably hot inside on a cool night, are the two reasons I wouldnt recommend this venue for a show you actually need to watch. Im sure it would be fine for music.

1st time at this cool, odd, venue. Great sound, plenty of space

Great little space that I went and saw a show at.

Not really one to adventure out to places like this, but beyond happy I did! Very cool atmosphere and location, that was nothing but good times and music. Not overly crowded, which made the small venue very welcoming. Having light snacks in the kitchen and a room to take a breather from the music action were nice benefits. Only negative was the coat check situation which was not organized or an actual coat check as advertized. Will definitely be back to check out more events here!

Great little grungy bar! Awesome performance by Fleetmac Wood that brought me to the venue and was well executed. Not too crowded to see a performance that would get a packed house on the west coast so I was happy to attend the show here.

Cool little reserved out of the way entrance and large building inside. Indie artsy crowd but not exclusive. Great social networking place for anyone new to the city or looking to meet other artists or new people in the area in general.

Cool place to chill and listen to music. Can sit in side room and talk while listening to music. Interesting entrance-wasnt sure what to expect. Beers and drinks very expensive and bathrooms fairly nasty but not a bad dive basement venue.

Ive been here two New Years eves in a row and had a blast. I also saw a hardcore show here. Great venue!

Great venue! The shape of the room lends to the acoustics and the beer selection is really decent.Plus they have food now, just chicken fingers and mozerella sticks though. Maybe I was just hungry but they really hit the spot!

Cool little venue not too hard to find. Drink prices on the steeper side but no surprises there. 6 dollar parking right up the street.

Been here twice. Once for a small rap act and once for a small rock act. Completely different crowds but same cool vibe. People go to have fun. Drinks and food are expensive for what it is but ticket prices are very reasonable. Good speakers and acoustics.

Art it self is mind blowing .

The club is downstairs. stage is not raised too much. large pillars blocks the view if the place is packed.

The venue was cool, but probably not the greatest for a comedy show, not enough seats and large areas without view of the stage. But I will be looking to see what punk shows are there

Awesome Venue! Able to have a close view of stage/performers, good acoustics and nice separate lounge and bar to hang in between sets.

A really dope, low key event space. Very spacious and clean. Great performance space for artists.

Great smaller venue with a nice layout

Surprisingly large underground venue. They always have an interesting line up and the staff is friendly & informative. Cool space, very industrial & artsy.

Small Venue, literally, underground. Beyond the 4 large columns, theres good viewing angles to the stage. A bar that serves food late is on the far side of the main room. Rave like atmosphere.

They tried valiantly, but acoustically and visually, this is a terrible place to see a show. Huge columns make for awful sightlines, and cement everywhere makes for pretty rough sound. The concert I attended was so loud that I had to leave the room - I felt dizzy from the SPLs. The decor was cool and the staff agreeable, but bottom line: your moms basement is probably a better music venue.

Amazing show at one of the cooler venues in Philly. Great sound, great performances, bar right off the floor, and even a few tables to chill at when youve danced/drank yourself into the ground. Ive been there a few times and it feels like an entirely new place every time.

Keep this place alive and independently owned!

Nice place to see a band. Small but not too. Sound is okay. Couchs and love seats all over the rear area. Easy to get drinks from the bars.

Good concert venue.The acoustics are good and the music is present thruout the venue.Be aware that its standing room only for viewing the stage

Great place with great sound!! Nice people working there And good location.

Best place to see a show

Saw my cousin play here. I really love the venue and atmosphere

Its a nice place but frustrating that there are 2 large columns that block the view of the stage from some angles.

A hip place for the artsy crowd..

Top tier venue for hardcore shows. Up there with Voltage Lounge, The FU Church, and the TLW

Try it out!

Phillys best venue

Great venue, always a good time.

What a great concealed place
