I had a great time seeing one of my favorite bands. pack onto the light-up dance floor and rage

This was a fun bar and we went to see a concert. No membership needed for the concert, but its not expensive from what I hear. I think the slight exclusivity helps get rid of some crowds and keeps some trouble away. The staff were great. The vibe there was really fun. Pool tables and 2 floors with two bars, one with a dance floor. The AC upstairs was really bad for a concert on a hot night though, so make sure you stay hydrated. Overall a ton of fun.

Staff were super nice and great. Not a huge drink selection, but enough and good prices. There’s no option to buy any water bottles or get a cup from the bar - you have to get a cup yourself from an igloo cooler, which was sketchy to us because you never can know how often that’s cleaned or if anyone put something in it.As a venue, it’s probably one of the worst I’ve been to. The setup is awful and maybe the first two rows of people standing can see - after that there’s not a chance. Also, the band has to load and unload their gear by walking through the crowd. I felt so bad for them.

The fourth star is out of sentiment for its heyday which has passedIf you can get in it is a very unique,quite large multi lounged bar/private club with a separate pool table room,large rap around screened back porch and a Huge backyard lounge.Only downsides are that the dozen video games in what is now a still cool pool table lounge,the video games are gone.Im also not sure of the fate of the huge second floor bar lounge and dancefloor.

I came here to see the band Halloween and the venue was pretty cool. Theres a smoking lounge outside in back, lower level bar with billiards, and the upstairs dancefloor area. Its in a very unique neighborhood with plenty of street parking all around.

Exclusive membership and guests only permitted to enter when accompanied with a Foto member. Also, really good drunken fingers foods served from a little camper setup in their outdoor entertainment space.

Members only, but pretty much anyone can join for $25 (at the time off this writing)Its a very inclusive scene, with a stage upstairs, an outside deck and courtyard in the back, kareoke, 2 pool tables and after hours drinking due to the membership status.If youre into slightly fringe experiences, this place will always deliver.

1st time there. Great venue Love that the music is upstairs, it gives it a secret space vibe. Bartenders were great, even the guy at the door. Hope I get a chance to go again.

Quaint local dive joint. Very cute vibes and delicious New England ciders. Open after hours and very friendly staff!

It was my first time there, low key in a neighborhood with a big outside backyard. Good old 80s music. Friendly staffs. Eat dinner before you go since food choices are limited. Hot dogs, chips, and Ramen cup of noodles. The smokers that smoke upstairs and not downstairs where the backyard is makes my coughing worse since I have asthma and allergies. It just stinks when they all stand and smoke only several feet away.

Not the best of locations. The inside is nicer than the outside. What’s up with the weird bathroom though? Service is ok, a little slow if you ask me. Prices are reasonable. Not a great mixed drink selection. They could use more. I’ll try it again. I’m thinking it depends on the night.

Hidden private club off of Frankford. Staff is friendly. As far as DJs it is hit or missed. If you just want to drink limited variety of beers and dont want to drive to the center city or Northern Liberty, this is the place to chill.

Revision: after patronizing every Saturday for some time, Foto feels like a kind of Cheers, but for the disillusioned and dispossessed, so that we may not be. The bartenders are awesome!

Ya gotta know to go but its WELL worth the price of membership! Truly an oasis that tips its hat to the good old days when private clubs were the one-stop shop for nightlife fun

This place has the best red velvet French toast. I recommend bringing the whole family for a wholesome meal after Sunday services.
