As a first time attendee, I have to say I was blown away. Amazing food and drink options, plus even better performances. I will definitely be coming back and recommending to friends. Shout out to our server Beth , she was great and had the best recommendations!!! (And big thanks to Daria, another server who helped me out!)
I went to Fabrika for my birthday with my friends. Honestly, I didnt know what to expect; I just knew it was for dinner and a show. I think there are different performances on different days and times. This place is definitely fun and lively, great for celebrating special occasions such as birthdays, bachelorette parties, or a fun date. It gives off dance party vibes but with a unique twist of live entertainment. However, this place may not be your style if you are a very reserved person, as it can get quite loud and crowded, and performers do interact with the audience.At least the show I went to, but honestly, it was all fun and entertaining; some scenes made you laugh, others made you say aww, and overall it was a memorable experience that I would recommend to anyone looking for a lively night out.I believe we paid around $53 per person for the show, which lasted about an hour. It might have been on sale, so consider whether you find that expensive or not. Be prepared for the energetic atmosphere and keep an open mind to enjoy the unique entertainment that this place has to offer. We didnt get a lot of food, but we did have appetizers and drinks, which were good; the drinks definitely had a good kick to them. The sage popcorn, crème brûlée, and tiramisu were also great - definitely worth trying if you have a sweet tooth. The staff was friendly, and the service was quick, allowing us to enjoy the show without any interruptions. The atmosphere itself was vibrant and engaging, with lively music and colorful decorations that added to the overall experience. Overall, it was a fun and entertaining night out.
Came here Friday night with some friends and we had a blast. This place is a total vibe. The show/performers were awesome and we ordered almost the entire menu. The only thing we didn’t like out of all the food ordered was the shrimp salad. They also have this cool little speak easy upstairs. If you’re looking for a night out and something different to do come here. You will not be disappointed
My review of this place is very mixed.The performances (at Drag Brunch) were amazing! High energy, fun, exciting.The value is questionable. Tickets for my event were $50, plus a minimum spend of $20/person at the table. Meaning my 4 top was $300+ (service charges are automatically applied). Not all seats are good. We were seated on the second level. Which I would not recommend. And again, for the price...didnt feel like it was the same experience as those who were on the main floor, and had paid the same price.Dont get me wrong - it was fun. But highly doubt Id do it again. The value just isnt there for the price.
Dinner and a show? Who doesnt love that?The show was amazing!!! Which started at 8 and there was an intermission.The good was decent, I did the prefixed dinner and show for $35. I choose the following:•Curry Shrimp CaesarJuicy grilled shrimp on a bed of crisp romaine lettuce, drizzled with a tantalizing Curry Caesar Dressing. Topped with crunchy croutons, Parmesan cheese, and bursts of cherry tomatoes•AranciniPerfectly Fried Parmesan Arancini served on top of a deliciously smooth, Creamy Cauliflower Sauce•Hanger SteakJuicy hanger steak, marinated in a blend of Worcestershire sauce, maple syrup, and soy sauce. Served with creamy mashed potatoes, grilled asparagus, and a comforting ladle of savory beef gravy.My favorite was the salad but honestly, overall, especially for the price is worth it
We had an amazing time at the drag brunch this morning. At first I was a little skeptical about the value (since the tickets just to get in are 20$), but the show was so worth it (and more). It ran for an entire 3 hours, so be prepared.The service was good overall. I dont have many complaints. I would like to see paper menus (and not QR code menus + payment), something with a little more decorum. Thats just a personal suggestion, I think the service should be more of an experience at this price point (and because there is also already a mandatory gratuity).My biggest complaint was I just felt like the food wasnt what it needed to be. Portions were really small, the taste was underwhelming, it was cold (clearly batch made), and there were limited options. I dont mind paying the high prices on the menu for an experience, but it was hard to justify the quality of food that I received.
Great show. The entertainment (Thursday burlesque) was a lot of fun and the acrobatic girl was spectacular. So talented. And the waiter matthew was prompt and personal. Food was small portions for the price but we got essentially a free show so don’t care. We had wings and got four with fries and they tasted good just small portions.
All I can say is WOW, WHAT A FANTASTIC NIGHT!!! Ive wanted to come here for quite a while, and my family treated me for my birthday. All of us loved everything. The drinks and food were delicious. Our server, Brianna, was excellent. She was very attentive to our table.The show was magnificent. It may not be to everyones taste, but each performer was really talented. I would advise getting there early so you can get better seats. I loved that we could dance in between the acts.The room you go through to go to the bathrooms was definitely the place to take photos. EVERYONE was having a photo session!!It is pretty pricey, $250/pp,(we drank a lot)but its definitely worth it. I would definitely go again. If youve guests coming to town, its a cool place to take them.
The food was okay. The Shrimp Caesar and steak were excellent. The show was phenomenal. The hostess was so nice and understanding. We called three times because of car trouble and she saved us a great spot. We will be back.
We were so excited for a great birthday drag brunch experience, but unfortunately, Fabrika did not provide what we were expecting. When we arrived, we were told that even though we had booked a reservation the night before, we would be treated as walk-ins, and were sat at the bar. While I understand that this was their policy, this was not posted anywhere prior to our arrival, so we felt a bit surprised. If we would have known this information before hand, we would have booked elsewhere.The food is bar food at best, but gets the job done. Small portions though. Our bartender was lovely, and she really made our experience fun, given the circumstances.The show was excellent, and the queens put on a great show. However, the venue is just so massive that it makes the show feel a bit impersonal, so keep it in mind when booking.
I absolutely loved my time at Fabrika. I went with 5 friends to celebrate my birthday and we all had an amazing time. We started our time with dinner, and the food was great! We shared a few tapas and entrees and everyone enjoyed everything. We also LOVED the cocktails. Lots of really cool and inventive options you don’t see often. The show itself was a masterpiece. We all found performances that we connected to and each of us had a great experience. After the show the floor opens up as a dance floor and my entire group was out dancing for hours. It’s a really great time and unlike anything else in Philly! Definitely recommend!
If you are having a large party, this is the place to have it. Justice set our party up and was very good and thorough. She was there to help me every step of the way. Will was our waiter and he was great the whole night. I would give this place a 10 if I could. Very well managed
Not exactly what I expected but it was definitely a show you that will keep you watching! Service was awesome and food was delicious. Definitely worth the money!
Attended the Sunday brunch. The performers were great. However, the ATM wouldn’t release my card which scared the hell out of me. It did end up restarting itself and my card end up popping out. I didn’t eat all morning bc I was looking forward to having brunch. Unfortunately they were out of mostly everything. I ended up getting the shrimp and grits since grits is usually very filling. For almost $30 you get 5 of the smallest shrimps and a spoon full of grits. I was still hungry and tried to order dessert but of course they were out of those items. Everything was way over priced, it was 5 of us and we each ordered two alcoholic beverages and an entree. This came up to almost $700, not including the entrance fee and the money to tip the Performers. Everything else was great.
The worst experience ever. First of all, I paid more that they actually were selling tickets for and a manager never showed up. After 30 min the host came to me and gave me a piece of paper with managers email. The work with negative feedback is awful, the response rate awful, the show is average and I actually couldn’t see anth properly coz of the chandelier. The only one thing which was good is food, food isn’t bad.
Place is awesome! The show was top of the line! The host was amazing! They sing amazingly and gave an amazing performance. The food was amazing, drinks were delish! It is pricey so be mindful that this wont be a cheap date. Cover by itself is $50 plus a minimum of $50 in consumption. So thats at least $100 per person, they are very upfront in the lobby, so dont get surprised. You will have an amazing time! Please dress properly. This isnt your typical place, dress to impress.
I had been wanting to go to this establishment for quite some time. So glad I finally did! The food, the staff and ambiance were great! The show was amazing!!! From the music, to the choreography, to the acrobatics... just WOW! We all had such amazing time! Definitely worth the visit if you can make it there.
Went there today for the Sunday Drag Brunch and had an absolute blast! The performers were incredible and our server was too....the kitchen as well! I am vegan and while they didnt have anything vegan on the menu, they figured out a delightful cauliflower steak dish for me on the fly and I am so grateful as it was delicious! I highly recommend this place!
When I arrived, the exterior door and its glass panes appeared so dusty and dirty that I questioned whether or not I had found an entrance that was currently in use. I hesitated outside for a couple minutes responding to text messages until seeing another party enter through the dirt-covered door and following behind them.Fabrikas website states that parties are seated in proximity to the stage according to how early they arrive (with the exception of paid VIP seating). I arrived at 7pm for an 8pm show, and was seated against the wall. Six couples arrived after I did, and were all seated at tables with a more direct view of the stage.Food was decent but overpriced. Burrata appetizer came to the table in less than a minute from when I ordered it and the bread was already soggy, making me wonder if it had been pre-made. Salmon was good. Creme brulee did not include the sage caramel popcorn described in the menu or any garnish/accoutrements.As far as the show, the band was excellent and some of the costumes were pretty cool. The burlesque performances were alright, but less creative and less intimate than burlesque performances Ive seen for half the $30 cost of this show. There was also an awkward moment when the emcee announced a performer who did not emerge and turned out to not be present at the venue.
Delicious food and a great show! The show was longer than we expected which was great because we didnt want it to end! The octopus appetizer was perfect! Normally you get a small piece if a place even has octopus, not the case here! Huge serving and cooked perfectly. The drinks were inventive and tasty. The squid ink pasta was delicious to the last bite!
This was an amazing show and experience. Highly recommend giving it a try. We didnt eat, but the steak at the table next to us looked fantastic.
Celebrated my fiancés birthday at the Burlesque show and it was AMAZING!! Beth was awesome and all of the performers were so good. Food was great, 10 out of 10, and the DJ was also great. All of the staff were so friendly from the security at the door to the performers and the host. We will definitely be returning for their other experiences. Have never been to anything like it! Amazing! Just a Tip: plan ahead for parking.
Amazing experience! Delicious food, great service (Matthew is amazing!) and absolutely stunning and talented performers! I can’t wait to come back!
What a fun evening and show. The place is part cabaret, part burlesque, part circus, part drag queens, part dance party but all fun. You are definitely entertained and involved! The show and service get all the stars. The food and drinks are nothing to write home about sadly. They are fine, but nothing to wow you. The burrata toast is more like burrata on bread...they really need to toast the bread which acts as a sponge if you dont eat it fast. The calamari was ok, but the sauce was very cold to dip in. The empanadas were good and the wings with fries were good. The drinks seemed a bit weak, especially for the prices. They do have beers, spiked teas, and seltzers, may want to stick to those. But the show will make up for the food and drinks.
Get the sushi tacos, they are amazing!! The show was so interactive and fun. definitely a great night.
Beautiful venue, love the ambiance of the place. Went for Sunday drag brunch and was not disappointed in the least. Enjoyed every second of the show. The food was different and tasty, not just the usual bar finger food. The host Eric Jaffe was hilarious and i lived for the queens doing their thing. Drove 1 and 1/2 hrs from north Jersey and it was worth every minute, especially considering this was my 1st drag event ever. Super talented queens for sure, loved them all. We will definitely return.... until next time Fabrika 😚🤗❤🧡💛💚💙💜🏳️🌈✌🏻
Great venue, the menu just is just too limited and the $20 minimums for drag brunches suck because of it. I can’t eat a lot of the stuff because of dietary restrictions, and they just removed what I could eat (chicken and waffles). The food is also very expensive for the small portion sizes; I paid $7 for a cup of soda and refills were the same.Update (6/17): I dropped the review from 4 to 1 stars because of an awful brunch experience. I attended Daddy Issues (Plane Jane / Sapphira) for brunch and bought tickets via Eventbrite, 55/ea after fees. So, it was a reservation for me and a friend. The ticket said doors at 11a and show 1p. I called at 10:55a to ask about when general admission should come and got their automatic message that they only answer phones from 12-3p on Sundays. So, we came around 12:20p and (thankfully) got the last table they had, which was the furthest 2 seater table possible from the stage. We were told we were lucky to have gotten it. The table was missing a chair and they couldn’t find it, so they replaced it with one of those uncomfortable stiff chairs used in hotel conference rooms (the normal chairs are very comfortable).But the kitchen that day was struggling too. It was a full house and they ran out of a lot. Normally you get a bottle of still water at your table, but we never did. They replaced cup by cup with warm tap water. After the third refill I asked for the bottle, but was told they didn’t have any and he was doing his best. Finally he offered us mineral water (for free), but it was also warm. To make matters worse, I ordered chicken and waffles and sometime after was told they ran out. This is one of a 2 dishes that I can eat there because of dietary restrictions, and was the only item that I wanted to eat. So I didn’t order anything. Mind you, this was drag brunch, so I had to skip lunch. Further, my friend ordered the French toast, but it didn’t even come with syrup??It was a great show, but I couldn’t see it and it ran so long that I had to leave. If the circle stage was elevated I could, but otherwise I couldn’t. The best moments where everyone cheered crazily were out of view, even if I stood up. Further, the show started EXTREMELY late! The show started at 2 and had to do the meet&greet (scheduled 12p), which started at 1:15p. The show was halfway done at 3:25p (the show was supposed to end at 3) and unfortunately I had plans at 5, so I left at 3:50. I saw 2/5 queens from the second half of the show, and they were not Plane or Sapphira.Overall, this was a horrendous experience and I’m not sure I’ll come back. I know the place was packed, but the venue wasn’t prepared at all. I didn’t get food because they ran out of what I ordered, and I had to ask to even get water. We didn’t even get their normal chairs and were considered “lucky” to have a seat at all despite having a reservation. But most disappointingly, we couldn’t see the show well at all, and we missed the headliners’ 2nd numbers because the event was so behind schedule.
Almost everything about our time there was phenomenal.Our server was incredible. He was attentive and polite and honestly made our experience so much better. The performers are insanely good too, and know how to throw a good show, if you come here please make sure you bring cash to tip them! My only issue was the girl who collects the bills at the end of the show. She is a petite african american female with an afro - she also exchanges larger bills for singles. When i asked her to exchange my $20, she not only gave me a huge attitude and shorted me $2 on purpose. I saw her lips counting to 18, stopped and handed me the cash. I thought maybe she had miscounted so i stood there after she handed me the cash to recount, however she literally sprinted away the second she handed me the cash. When I went to my table, i had mentioned it to my friends and my one friend who also had exchanged a $20 with her, counted her change (she never counted after the girl handed her the singles) realized she only got $19 back. We werent too pressed about the $3, maybe she needed it more than us, but it did leave a bad taste in my mouth.
This was an underwhelming experience. I love a good drag brunch, but there was just no humor other than lude songs that went on way too long. The acts were just a bit off and everyone seemed to be having forced fun. The food was pretty good, service was decent, and the actual building is quite nice. If youre sitting on the upstairs balcony, do not expect to be able to see most of the show or be able to tip the dancers without accidentally throwing money in the peoples food below.
Looks can be deceiving. In this case, all for the better. A once ice-cream factory, now restaurant/club that provides sights and sounds worth experiencing.Tables are first-come, first-serve. So, the early bird gets the worm here. There is seating both upstairs and downstairs.The center stage becomes the dance floor once the performances have ended. They just request no drinks be brought onto the dance area (simple ask, makes sense).All-in-all, a place worth visiting.
Amazing show!! Facilities were excellent, service was equally amazing, the performances left you in awe. Cant wait to come back and bring other friends.
ENCORE ENCORE!! Fabrika is amazing! Fabulous show, good food/drinks, and friendly customer service. Perfect place for a special occasion or unique night out! If you go for dinner I recommend ordering the burrata toast appetizer, short rib entree, and save room for the tiramisu!Highly recommend & now I need to go for brunch sometime and try!
We came here for one last hurrah before my friend moved. Our seating reservation was at 7 and the show started at 8. Because of this, we got one of the best seats in the house (just behind the couches in front of the stage).The performances and performers were top-notch. We were awe-struck and laughing. During intermission a good amount of the crowd danced and the music was great.Im still debating what the value for the overall evening was. For a party of three, we spent ~$500 for three tickets, food, drink and gratuity. We came hungry, which may have been our downfall as plates are tiny, expensive and nothing to write home about. Paying was confusing--gratuity is added as an vague line item but prompts more tip after that. This felt like a money grab.Our waiter was attentive but was *too* speedy that we often couldnt make follow up requests or ask questions. Then, we wouldnt see her for a while.So, I recommend:-coming early to get a good seat-eating food before hand and only getting one or two snacks-be sure to grab your waiters attention when they come by!
We had such a great date night at Fabrika on Thursday for their Burlesque show! The atmosphere is fun & lively, the food is surprisingly delicious (get the corn ribs!!), and they have great drinks. This is such a unique spot in Philly, I highly recommend it! Can’t wait to come back for a weekend Cabaret show.
The food each time Ive been has been absolutely amazing! Very fresh & original. The service is always in point as well. You can just tell when the employees are happy to serve.Today we came for the Drag Show Brunch & I honestly cannot remember when we had a now entertaining experience. Absolutely 100% recommend and will be back ASAP!! Thank you so much for the fun, ladies!
Incredibly amazing place. We (My Husband and me) had a lot of fun! The staff were very friendly and the show really made us marvel and laugh. Thank you for the beautiful night.
I’ve been wanting to go to Fabrika since learning about the night spot online. Nonetheless, Fabrika did not disappoint— we went Wednesday night. Nice crowd, not crowded, didn’t need reservations, great jazz, good drinks, and great customer service. Shout out to Kate at the bar and Evon, the DJ! The food was just okay—small plate/appetizers/tapas servings for dinner prices. We tried the chicken, shrimp, and steak. I left hungry 😊. I took one star off because of the food and the lack of parking options. Overall, you can expect a great time in an adult atmosphere. This venue has so much potential and I look forward to returning.
Fabrika is simply an amazing experience. Great for groups! Make sure you get there on time or early to grab a seat near the center stage!The food, especially for a venue with a show is amazing! Try everything on the menu, you won’t be disappointed.Currently, it’s $50 Minimum, so if you aren’t a drinker and just there for food make sure you plan out your meal well enough.
Watering down drinks is unacceptable. After 3 returned drinks I went to the bar and watched them pour my drink. I watched the bartender pour the drink out the bottle and it tasted watered down 4:1. This isn’t some student bar in 2001. The drinks are $17 each. Presumably they think people won’t notice after a few drinks. None of our party will be coming back.
God this place was so much fun, the performers were incredible, talented, and so, so funny. All the food we ordered was great and we really enjoyed the cocktails. Check it out!!
Nothing better than dinner and a show. Service was impeccable as we were immediately greeted and seated with our server quick to follow. Menu suggests ordering 2 or 3 plates per person as they are small. We made the mistake of having it served as it was ready - everything came out very quickly and we soon found ourselves trying to fit 8 plates at a two person table. Highlights were the NY Strip with the Black Boba Ganoush, absolutely sinful how good it was, though Im not sure if it was intentional or not, but ours was served room temperature. Lamb ribs were also flavorful. Coconut Budino is a must try! Layers of flavor and texture, warmth and delight. I definitely could have passed on the pretzel fritters, as they were bland themselves and the marinara they were served with had absolutely no flavor. I also tried the Scallop Crudo, which was basically 1 small raw scallop sliced thinly and placed in a bowl with sauce; It made me confirm that I prefer seared scallops. Cast Away cocktail was unique and mixed well, I ended up having 3! Our waiter was awesome. Very efficient, always anticipating our needs, cleared dishes and provided refills as needed. Highly appreciated the exemplary service.The show was very entertaining and full of variety. Definitely not meant for those prudish at heart. Interactive performance, talented DJ, great music with something for everyone.As another reviewer stated, plan on spending $100+ per person and thats on top of $30 for the show. Soooo worth it though!
Always a great time at Fabrika’s. Though the queens were running late and we had to leave and get to work, it was still a blast. To be fair, I should’ve known better to schedule anything after a drag show knowing what kinda time queens keep.
My first time here for my mom’s birthday and we had a BALLLL!!! Thank you to all of the people who work here for making an amazing experience
Very good food, but more so an amazing time! The stage acts were funny, talented and entertaining! Such a unique experience!
Had a blast a drag brunch with some friends. Very fun! Food and drinks were great. Bring your dollar bills to tip the girls! 🧡
Drag Brunch at Fabrika was Amazing! I laughed, I cried, I gagged with 50 other people when prompted. 10/10 would go again (might have gotten a snack beforehand)
Wonderful vibe, great host and wait staff. Great show as well! Definitely would recommend
If you haven’t been there yet you absolutely should go! Amazing experience! The show was really good, the girls from the show walked around both floors to talk and take pictures with the guests, the food was delicious and not too pricey (we recommend Moroccan fish and lamb short ribs). The experience was worth every penny we paid. Go check out this place!
$200 for two tickets that included 2 drinks & 2 meals for each person. Ordered ONE Long Island outside of what I’ve ALREADY prepaid for & was charged $70, lol! I get gratitude but that’s normally on a party of 6 or more…this was a party of 2. Then the manager stood over my shoulder to make sure I tipped ONTOP of this scam. I’m a server down in Texas & this would not fly there. Let me put into perspective that I would’ve tipped way more than service charge if I didn’t feel like my arm was twisted for a tip. They also try to keep your ticket on there even when it’s prepaid but name it “early bird special” as a disguise to try to make your service charge percentage higher. It took me 5 times of questioning it just for it to get removed because luckily I’m not stupid. 😂 Also the food & drinks sucked. Don’t go here they will take your money!
Expensive but incredible! If youre looking for delightful entertainment, delicious food & creative cocktails, or a unique venue, look no further. The staff are professional and helpful and the entertainers are incredibly talented.Their menu includes vegetarian, meat, and seafood options as well as wine, beer & cocktails. Expect to spend a minimum of $100 per person.Entrance and first floor are wheelchair accessible. There is also a mezzanine with additional seating. Restrooms are gendered (male/female).
Amazing performances, great ambience, and good food! I was blown away by the experience. Coming in, I was a little skeptical that this place would skip on the food as so many places that offer entertainment do, but I was wrong. Food was great and the performances were better than I had imagined. As they say on their site, come dressed to impress, and with comfy shoes if you want to dance!
Wow wow wow! Fabrika is the chicest place to go on a Thursday night! The staff are classy and attentive, the dj and pianist brought the vibes, drinks and food are wonderful, and the performers are simply amazing! 10/10! burlesque show was comedic, stunning, sensual, and sparkly!
The show was very entertaining. I’ll definitely come again. My fav is Tiffany’s she’s a vibe.
This is 100% worth the ticket price to see the show. Just keep in mind this is a show for anyone over the age of 18, and obviously you need to be 21+ to drink.That said, given the attention to detail as far as the service staff are concerned--the rather expensive price point for the food and beverages WITH the talented actors, dancers, band, and quirky drag-burlesque show makes every penny spent well-worth it too.Not only were my friends and I entertained, we were mesmerized by the aerial performances, humored by some of the acts performed, and energized by the musical interludes.I took food photos using my friends phone, so I have to wait for her to send the photos I took before I can post them up--but we highly enjoyed each of the dishes wed ordered. I would 100 percent go again.
WARNING! Theses people are thieves. Do not trust them with your credit card. They will double charge you, add 40% tip for themselves and then claim to make it right when you call them out but then deny any wrong doing once you have to get your financial institution involed about their fraud activity. This establishment is not trustworthy. Advise to stay away.
Only had drinks here but they were great! Entertainment was fantastic! Closest thing I can get to a vegas show without being there!
Amazing Artist Amazing Foodgreat shows,Staff sup friendlywent here for the Valentines Day special I heard their were extra performances that day , but Ill definitely will be going back to check out on a regular dayFood menu is limited and pricey but very deliciouson the other hand the desserts are just ok
Wow, wow, wow. Such a great atmosphere. The food was great - the performance was incredible. Funny, sexy, a great time.
1st time here celebrating a birthday and had a wonderful experience! Definitely worth the price and look forward to coming back!
HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE - HIGHLY discourage anyone from going.Let me start by saying… I guess the show would’ve been cool. If I could see it…. Blocked by chandeliers and seated in the worst spot.Now for the full experience:8:20pm on Valentine’s Day, arrived with my wife.8:25pm seated despite long line (with reservation) after paying a $50/person ticket.8:43pm gave up waiting on water and got it myself.9 pm waitress finally came and took our order.9:20 pm waitress comes and tells us that the drinks are not ready yet and will be coming. Then goes on to tell us that they don’t have 6 of their 12 (?) menu items.9:40 pm - got sick of waiting. Got up and left.In the one hour I was there, I did not get a drink or a single food item. I wasted $100 on tickets fora showi couldn’t see. No water from the waitress, no drinks, no food all in 1 hour.
We had a great time. Everything was perfectly executed and well thought out. Atmosphere, service, food & drink were all very very well done. We loved watching Meesha the belly dancer who was performing that evening and hope to see her then next time she performs there. All of the entertainment was wonderful. Bravo! And congratulations for such a job well done.
Firstly, the vibes were unmatched and we had a phenomenal time. The service was great! The drinks were decent. The downsides are that they nickel and dime you for everything. There were so many miscellaneous charges and service fees. By no means did we go out on a budget, but I prefer upfront costs to hidden fees. The food was also underwhelming. They ran out of so many items on the menu and it wasnt super packed. I would still recommend going, just dont go hungry. Its also something you only need to do once. It made for a great ladies day out. We enjoyed ourselves which was most important and the performers were awesome.
So much fun! The dancers are beautiful and so talented! Service was great , band was awesome on Burlesque night 10/10. Will come back!
Great experience. Michael is an amazing operator. Sola was the best server. Drinks were great. Performances top notch. Just go.
What a wonderful night out! The show was awesome! Our server was friendly and helpful! Can’t wait to come back!
Entertainment = A +Food = Everything we received was cold. I purchased the skewers. Shrimp was hard and steak was chewy.Purée beneath was cold.Our entire table of 5 received chilly food.Extremely expensiveServer= she was friendly, young but not very attentive to OUR table. Not sure what happened there.3 stars for entertainment 2 missing because we left hungry after appetizer, entree and desert 850$ later.
I had an amazing time. The atmosphere was amazing, and so were the food and drinks. I will be revisiting...
Took my girl here for her 35th. Amazing experience for us both. I hate partying and I loved the show. It’s a must see!
Prepaid for one of the Valentine’s Day event packages ($210) which included show admission, food, and drinks. We really enjoyed the concept of the venue, as well as the entertainment/performers, so it is truly unfortunate that the level of service did not meet expectations. We were never waited upon once seated, and ended up leaving after 2 hours of no food or drink (even after alerting staff). The table directly to our left received food and drink, but the rest of the tables to our right did not. We were not the only patrons that received no service, and this was apparent as we left with many in line asking for refunds. According to staff they would not be able to refund that night, and told us a manager would be in touch within 48 hours. This has not happened. We also had to wait outside for close to 30 minutes in line, even with reservations. It was really puzzling for a venue that has so much promise. If we are reimbursed I would give Fabrika another try, but so far have been left disappointed.
Man, let me break it down for you. You pay upfront at Fabrika, and what do you get? Nothing but the worst service imaginable. They dont even bother to take your order, let alone serve you the food youve already paid for. Its like youre invisible to them, just a walking wallet to snatch money from.And heres the kicker—they couldnt care less that youre there to eat. Theyll happily take your cash and leave you high and dry. Oh, and forget about getting a refund. Its like throwing your money into a black hole. Absolutely disgraceful.
K enjoyed the show. The show was amazing despite me coming late. Ordered the wings and asked for well done and they wasn’t. But my drink made up for it. The show was great again!
Drag show was everything and was long so you get the value for your money. Food is good and service is amazing!
New improved menu since I was here last Aug. Great show as always. Miss the dancers though.
Went to the show on a Friday night. The show was extremely entertaining. Would definitely return again. There is a dress code to be aware of.
Me and my friend went and the line to get in was very long. When we finally sat down our waitress didn’t come take out order for another 35 mins and her excuse was no one is supposed to be here ( we were seated it the back) she then brung out our drinks in plastic cups. 3 hours passed and we had no food ( the manager stated cooks walked out and waitress left) When I finally got my food the restaurant was closing so they gave it to us to go. They didn’t give me what I ordered! Then they only took out drinks off the bill and gave us tickets to the next show. Horrible experience
Great time at drag brunch. Portions on the food were a little small but still tasty.
What a vibe! Our bachelorette party had the best time! Sutton Fierce was amazing!!!!
Service was mid at best, took forever to get our drinks but I don’t put that on the server as much as she had a lot of tables to take care of. Took about 20 minutes before she as able to greet us and when she did she was courteous and attentive. I really wanted the Korean wings and truffle potatoes but both were out but then she came back and said the wings were available but the empanadas and potatoes weren’t. Ordered fried cheese and it never came. GF really liked her apple 75 and the Philly sour was decent enough. Ordered the tiramisu just to get the bill to the required $100 and it was ok at best. Overall the show was good, seating sucked and the food and service was ok at best. For them to have mandatory minimums I’d say maybe do your best to improve the guest experience outside of the show, especially for the men dragged here by their gfs and wives 😂
Had the experience of my life. wouldn’t trade it for anything. made my summer so much better and gave me something to look forward to and think about for months. love i fabrika!
Amazing drag show and great service! Small portions for food, but it’s tasty
I am deeply disappointed with my recent experience at Fabrika. Despite having a reservation and paying in advance, my party and I were left waiting in line outside for over 30 minutes before even being allowed to enter. Once inside, we were greeted with abysmal service and an inexplicable delay in receiving our food.Despite multiple attempts to seek assistance from the manager and staff, we were ignored and left to fend for ourselves. After waiting for over two hours without any sign of our meal, we were forced to leave hungry and utterly disappointed.I cannot fathom how a restaurant could operate in such a manner, with no regard for customer satisfaction or basic hospitality. Save yourself the trouble and avoid dining at fabrika at all costs.
Bryn Diehl Is an absolute gem of a human. Thank you for everything!! Made the already amazing experience that much better! Nothing but positive things to say about tonight ❤️
I’ve been here a few times, with friends and family and the experience is always top tier. The performances are always great, the variety of food and drinks are good, and the prices are fair! Always a good time when going to Fabrika.
Amazing show and evening amazing waitress we had a wonderful time 😊✨
The atmosphere tonight was really relaxed with a Jazz duet on piano and bass playing, and also nice mellow vibes from a Sax-man. The food is excellent, everything Ive tried was delicious like you may have had any of these dishes before but not the way theyre prepared at Fabrika. The grilled octopus has a great crisp to it but not overcooked and chewy, and the bean and caper sauce its in is fantastic. The shrimp kebabs have great flavor, the hummus is excellent. The Baklava is to die for! The Boris was a great Bourbon cocktail, the cherries tasted like theyre aged/stored in whiskey, a nice extra touch to it; quite like everything else here. Ill be returning soon.
If youre coming for a great vibe feel free, plates are small bites. Drinks...meh. The servers were great and so were the performers. The only thing that makes this a repeatable outing. Place gets empty around 11 on a Saturday...
I cant even begin to describe how furious I am with Fabrika. We had a reservation and paid upfront, yet they had us waiting outside for over an hour. And once we finally made it inside, the nightmare continued—no food, no service, just endless frustration.We pleaded with the manager and staff for help, but they brushed us off like we didnt matter. After enduring over two hours of this nonsense, we had to leave hungry and utterly let down. Fabrika should be ashamed of themselves. Avoid this place like the plague.
Will, our server, was wonderful! Busy Sunday brunch & they were fabulous.
The show was amazing, the waiter Harley was great! The food was good however the portions were really small for the amount for each plate. Overall it was a fun experience.
The food is actually amazing. I loved the shrimp and sushi tacos!! There are some reviews saying the food isnt good. But I thought it was fantastic!!
Amazing show! Tapas were delicious and cocktails were worth the sip. We will be back every time we visit Philly to enjoy a show😊
Food tasted great, very small portions for the price. Great show, hard working and fun performers!
Best show ever. Saturday night show was amazing and friendly!
Show is pretty good, the food is pretty weak.The food tastes like frozen food heated up based on how quick it comes out. Portions are so small I laughed out loud when a $16 tomato salad was place in front of me. Raise the prices of the tickets to the show if you want!The show is pretty good, very impressive burlesque dancers, but it seems to be at odds with the “clubby” vibe that exists for intermission and after show.
The show and our server were amazing. The food and drinks were very good.
Great experience. Food was good, nice portion and fast. The entertainment was amazing!
Fabulous time. Everyone so friendly and welcoming. Food was great! Although I ordered a pasta dish with shrimp and there was no shrimp but if there was I couldn’t see it or taste it. It’s pretty dark while diningI also had the octopus and it was great. The drinks were superb. Still earns 5 stars. Covid compliant when getting out of your seat. IMPORTANT...Bathrooms are clean! Great area made for photoshoot opportunities. So much going on with the show it’s non-stop. Great performances and energy by the magnificent host! I don’t feel like two shows could be the same! It’s power-packed to the point you pass up on side conversations that distract you from the show.
It was beautiful!!! Very entertaining from the dancers to the host and the audience! Food was delicious! The music was awesome! The whole experience was amazing and a must for again!
We celebrated our friend birthday and had a blast. Fábrika has one of the best places to enjoy with friends! Would definitely come back and will be telling my family & friends to visit!
We went for the Easter Opus Dinner, and it was hilarious, and entertaining with a side of delicious food and great service. Will definitely be back.
AMAZING SHOW! Could not control my emotions every performance was its own experience cannot wait to come back and bring other Fabrika converts!!!
Wonderful experience, high quality burlesque dancers. 10/10 would do it again ❣️
Bought a ticket to an event last night and the staff never let anyone from the line in for the entire 70 minutes we waited. There were about 80-100 ppl in line and the only people they’d let in were those who just walked up. The staff were so rude about the whole thing. How do you have a ticketed event and don’t let anyone from the line in? Working a door is not that hard. Complete incompetence
Awesomeness all around!!!!food was great, service fantastic and show was very fun, entertaining.
Great place to go to for a fun date night or with a group of friends. Open your mind as this is part drag show, part burlesque, part cirque de Soleil, part circus clown, part ...who knows! Always entertaining and always fun so pay the 50 bucks, get in and enjoy the only show like it in the city. Oh the drinks and food are good here too!
I have made a reservation for Saturday night. My friend and I arrived and the manager told us that the establishment is charging us $75 per person on my credit card because we reserved a table for the show. They also said that we have to buy $100 worth of food for 2 people. I told them that I wasn’t aware of this extra expense and attempted to get my money back. I was not sent an email regarding this stipulation. They refused to refund the money and charged my credit card anyway. We decided to stay and see what it was about. The show was 15 minutes and it was not great. We ordered $112 worth of food and drink (that was what our check came out too ) We paid our check, went to the bathroom. As we were leaving, the waiter and staff cornered us and demanded that we pay $40 extra because apparently. we didn’t get $50 worth of food per person even though our check came out to over $100 (50x2). Apparently taxes and fees that they added on didn’t count. The food wasn’t good either. It felt like they were trying to get as much money out of us as possible and when we tried to reason with them, they responded with a nasty attitude. We were disgusted . I will never go back there again
Great performances high energy, amazing staff
I came with my two daughters and we had a great time!
I. Had. An. AMAZING. Time!!Omg! There arent even words to describe how much of a good time this is!The performers were beyond great!Our server was so nice knowledge attentive and knew what foods/drinks had allergens which I deeply appreciated!My only tip would be to add more allergen friendfood to the menu, specifically dairy free options. Even it is simply allowing current menu items to be prepared without dairy.
Went for drag brunch and it was a blast! The performers were amazing and really put on a show. The only downside was the food. Definitely not worth the price as the quality was extremely low. It seemed as though there was very little thought put into the dishes and quality.
WoW ... you have to try this place out.. WELL WORTH ITThe place has a very open layout and very unique seating and with live music nightly and great food. It is an HONOR to be the FIRST to REVIEW this place.Absolutely LOVED Fabrika and most likely you would too!! It has a GREAT atmosphere, as it is a VERY open space with GREAT food, and service! We ordered, NO I ordered literally everything on the menu …and shared only a little. From the pita bread to the fish dish............they were all very delicious, and nothing left to take home. Cocktails were expertly mixed and tasty!As for the food I had 9 different dishes and each was better than the other. I know this place is new but from what I have seen this place will be real busy real soon. I strongly suggest making a reservation on a Fri or Sat a week in advance. Nightly entertainment can and will be different most nights from jazz to maybe a crazy show on a Saturday night. But I can tell you whatever it is it will be enjoyable. 2 Bars one on each side of the restaurant. They even have seating upstairs around the catwalk which will allow you to look down on to the main floor. If not for the food ..THEN GO for the bar scene,,,Fabrika is a welcome sight to the neighborhood in Northern Liberties. Classy yet laid back.This place is located near the Filmore but on the other side of I-95 next to BarcadeJerry Ehrlich from the Great City of Philadelphia
The food and entertainment were beyond expectations! The portions were a bit small so I would recommend more than one entree, but everything piece of food that my party ordered was beyond fabulous. Well worth the price. The entertainment was phenomenal! The queens did an amazing job and were interactive with the audience. So much entertainment for the cost of entry I cant wait to come back!
This was the best experience and the food was so amazing. I did not expect for the food and drinks to be crafted so well. Love this place and already planning to come back
Such an incredible experience. From the food to the staff to the performances, this is a night Ill never forget. And unlike most shows where the food is just an add on, every dish and drink was absolutely delicious and accompanied the talent perfectly. My waitress, Sarah, was so attentive and kind, and the host, Hunter, went out of his way to make sure my friend had an incredible birthday. So appreciative of everyone involved for such a fabulous night
It was one of the best times of my life. The performers were great.
I came for the Dream Walk Fashion Show and the food and drinks were really good and even with everything going on my server William was excellent!!
This place was amazing! What an awesome experience! My family and I celebrated my wifes birthday there and we had an absolute blast! It was all our first time there and we left absolutely entertained! Kudos to everyone evolved with Fabrika! From the person that greeted us at the door, to the food, and the show, this was an incredible night! We cant wait to go back!!!
Had an amazing time. Perfect ladies Sunday brunch.
The show is interesting keep an open mind. The food is awful and expensive. You are better off eating prior and drinking prior. Than paying for the over price excuse for food. I would not go back.
From NYC and celebrated a bachelorette here with a group of 9 girls and it was an amazing show. We attended the dinner/show. The show included different acts and the performers are all very talented and costumes were colorful and on point. A DJ plays music during intermission and at the end and people dance. The food was fresh and tasty. Our server Bobby, was attentive and great. He remembered our drinks. He asked about food allergies and made sure that my friend who is allergic to seafood would be safe in what she eventually ordered/ate. Definitely a must see show! So worth it!
Great food and a fantastic show!! Had a great time with my husband!!!
Food, Service, Atmosphere was great!!! The only thing I didn’t enjoy was the performers guiliting the crowd. We went for a birthday and it wasn’t fully packed. Multiple performers made comments the the crowes wasn’t cheering enough. With being a dinner show most people are trying to relax and eat and enjoy now scream the whole time. One performer even went as far to say we have to choose to enjoy ourselves or not. Implying we were snooty basically. You don’t have to scream to have a good time :)
Well worth the money. Service was great, show was spectacular. A perfect venue for celebrating a milestone of just a fun night out with friends.
Those people are lied I made reservations online and when I got there they charged me 150 for two people and said that including dinner when we want check out they said u have to pay for what u order 120$ again first the show not all of it good and it was cold inside also I feel like I’m in basement not bad , I don’t suggest this place to anyone. I just follow what the reviews said but I think it’s all fake
My friends and I had an amazing experience at Fabrika! We went for my birthday after hearing great things. The show and performers were spectacular. Very interactive and entertaining. The food and drinks were also delicious! And at the end, they open the dance floor, which is so fun! 10/10.
More healthy options would be wonderful. Maybe a crudite tray?
Great show, music, food and atmosphere. Exceptional choice for date nights.
Fancy and expensive drinks unless you ask for the specials.
Will was a great server. Amazing show!
Not a real restaurant. No association with a named chef obviously. Food can’t possibly be made to order; comes out too fast. The burlesque show was uneven, overall. The “girls night out” crowd is who is giving these great reviews.QR code ordering only; no printed menu. $2.50 b.s. charge for an ice cube in my whiskey! Gratuity and charges that are added comes to a 24% surcharge, on top of already overpriced food and beverage.Good production on the entertainment (which started 10 minutes before scheduled time, in terms of music and lighting. But, the “Dixieland” style jazz quartet took up too much time. 20% of show featured sexy, exciting female performers, only 60% of it featured women at all. The MC was an annoying cornball. So many things about this place are “extra” and not in a good way.
Omg this is such a wonderful drag brunch!!! I would definitely return.
Absolutely fantastic time out. Excellent food, service and entertainment.
Fantastic show, delicious food and great service!
This is a wonderful place! The people here are beautiful and the environment is amazing.
This was an amazing experience. The entertainment, service & food was some the best I’ve experienced in Philly. I’ve worked in the industry all my adult life. I love the diversity and flair you’re bringing to the city. Peace & blessings
Didn’t order food but everything was great!! Will definitely be back!
The show was amazing! The staff is wonderful. The food and drinks however are a 3 at best. The French toast and burrata salad was good. But that’s about it. Maybe the dinner menu is better but brunch was not worth it. Most of us went to get food when we left after spending 1200 dollars there. Cocktails 3 out of 10. If I ever return I’ll stick to wine.
Amazing truly every part was more then expected
Sunday drag brunch was incredible! So much fun!
Made a reservation and they weren’t open. They were closed despite social media promotion and open reservation via OpenTable. Knocked and called. Stood in the rain waiting for our reservation.
Had an amazing time with my hubby! The food was good and entertainment was unlike any other experience I’ve ever had. The mc was funny as hell. Definitely leave the kids at home…adults only. Lots of fun!
Bob was amazing, fast with amazing energy. Definitely will be back ❣️
Everything was excellent ! From the show to the staff I dont have one single complaint. They truly made my sisters birthday one to remember. I will be back.
Amazing show on a Thursday night. Queens were fire!!
Really great food. Even better service and entertainment!
I loved it, was my first time to a show like such. i’ve seen it in movies and now i can say ive seen it person and its 200000 times better in person. thank you for an amazing performance by everyone :))
The most fun I’ve ever had. The food was fantastic, our server sean was phenomenal and the show was amazing. Can’t recommend enough.
Food was subpar for the price paid. $16 for 5 wings?Great vibes & AMAZING entertainment..
I love bryn he is the best made my experience at fabrika amazing!!!!
Very nice show , food came out at perfect timing. Server was available at all time did a good job. Just alittle pricey. Food was okay need more options.
Friend & I got tickets for a show days in advance. Hours before the show we received an email that our tickets are canceled as they oversold the event. Poor event management.
Fabrika is extremely greedy and sketchy with their service fees and tipping practices. There were unexplained two fees added to our bill, one of which the server explained that it was the gratuity over 20%, the other the server was unable to explain. Even though the gratuity is built in, their system still prompts you for more tips (which defaults to 30%) and on top of that, they add your ticket admission to your bill so that you tip not only on your food items but also the total price of admission. Their food is average at best, extremely overpriced with low quality ingredients. The only thing they do well is presentation, the venue is gorgeous and it’s a shame that it’s being wasted on such a horribly greedy restaurant. Do not go here unless you like to be ripped off. Support your local artists and performers through different means and do not give Fabrika your money, they don’t deserve a penny due to their shady practices.
