G Philly From Philadelphia Magazine: Three levels of fun here. Great dining downstairs and dancing on the second floor. But our favorite spot is the piano bar where everyone belts out showtunes seven days a week.

Kev: Jazz room, whiskey bar and a dance floor on fridays
Laurie Satran: If you are a serious patron, you'll try the absinthe or ask Terry for his recommendation for an amazing single malt scotch. Then and only then, should you be worthy of dancing your a$$ off upstairs.
shawnelise t: One of the best bars in Philly! Live jazz downstairs and dancing upstairs, easy to find a good vibe.

morg: downstairs is a large, dive-ish bar (don't miss the eccentric art on the walls). Upstairs turns into a massive dance floor that often has a cover.
Maddie Lippincott: This place is so much fun! Downstairs is very chill and upstairs is great for dancing. Definitely better suited for a younger crowd. Drinks are also fairly priced which is hard to find in the city.
Maddie Lippincott: This where dive bar meets frat party. Rap music and dancing on the top floor while the bottom floor is a little more chill with a bar and tables to sit. Super interesting decor, too.
