We had a great time hosting my boyfriend's 30th birthday party here! The team is super responsive, the space is beautiful, clean, and made for an excellent party location. I'd recommend 10/10

Amazing working with Joe! Space was clean and quiet. Would recommend this to anyone and most likely will rent again in the future.

I would absolutely return to this location in a heart-beat if another shoot arose in the Philadelphia area. Joe and the team at Billy Penn was fantastic and more accommodating than many other locations I've used. They were very communicative, helpful, and responsive to any and all requests and needs we had on-hand, and went out of their way to make the experience as pleasant and positive as possible. Moreover, the location itself was clean, gorgeous, provided all power, internet, AC/Heat, and privacy we needed, and is within close distance to a handful of restaurants and stores for food and supply runs. There was an onsite cafe, which was fantastic for quick coffee runs, and onsite community of businesses in the building that came in handy when we were missing a few pieces of equipment for our shoot (one of the businesses was a video rental house). Would absolutely recommend using this location, and look forward to using the location again for future shoots in the Philadelphia area.

Such a beautiful sanctuary that really takes your breath away when you first enter it. Amazing communication with the host, a really helpful tour around so that we knew how to adjust lighting for our photoshoot, and a detailed explanation on how to navigate the area. The stained glass is honestly a wonder to behold when the sun peeks through it, and definitely worth considering for your next event or photoshoot!

About Underground Venues

From music concerts to movie screenings and everything in between, these spaces offer a truly unique and inspiring mood that can't be replicated elsewhere. They typically present an eccentric atmosphere, often in the form of a speakeasy or secret hideaway. Due to their off-the-beaten-path locations, the places may be adorned with vintage decor, graffiti art, or sculptures made by local artists, adding to the spot's unique charm. Additionally, underground venues frequently have a strong sense of community associated with them. They tend to embrace creativity and experimentation, making them the ideal choice for occasions that require something more than the usual routine.

So, underground venues are renowned for their vibrant energy. Such locations allow guests to experience cutting-edge music, art, comedy, and more. Hosts and guests appreciate the intimacy of these spaces. Often, the stage is mere feet away from the audience. Underground areas also tend to be smaller than other larger venues, making it easy to generate a more personal connection with the performers. Event planners choose underground spaces because of their distinctive visual style, including industrial design elements and art installations that enhance their personalities. These establishments offer an exciting atmosphere for performances and may boast top-notch sound systems that deliver loud music without distortion or echoing.

The Best Events for Underground Venues

  • Jazz Concerts
    Underground is the perfect venue to host a jazz concert, as it provides a spacious area where guests can comfortably relish their favorite tunes. Jazz music has an intimate feeling that cannot be compared to any other genre and would fit this setting. The venue's ambiance is such that it would easily capture the soulful sound of a live jazz band and dispense guests with a mesmerizing adventure. Furthermore, with its low ceilings, the vibration of acoustic instruments will not only fill up the room but also reverberate throughout the entire location.
  • Comedy Nights
    With its dim lighting, brick walls, and wooden floors, Underground contributes an intimate setting ideal for hosting comedy nights. Not only can comedians share their jokes within this cozy space, but they may also interact with the guests in a more natural setting while keeping everyone entertained and engaged. Moreover, since laughter is contagious, it's easy to imagine how much fun a comedy night could be when held at Underground.
  • Art Exhibitions
    Art exhibitions are a great way to add culture and beauty to any venue, and Underground is no exception. Its rustic décor produces an environment that will help bring out the colors and details in any artwork. Furthermore, having ample room for visitors to walk around makes it easy for them to appreciate each piece of art without feeling crowded or rushed. The soft brightness also helps set a calm atmosphere for visitors to take in all the beauty that lies ahead.
  • Film Screenings
    With its spacious area, dark interiors, and excellent acoustics, Underground makes for a fantastic location to screen films of all genres, from classic movies to modern indie flicks. Visitors will become completely immersed in whatever movie they watch as they sit back in homey seating areas while enjoying high-quality audio-visual appliances that enhance every scene played on-screen. The private concession stands are also open during screenings, so your friends will have no trouble finding delicious snacks while they relish the movie.

What to Look for in Underground Venues

  • Amenities & Services
    Some underground venues may offer additional conveniences like catering services or extra staff support during events. Also, look at other services, such as lighting and embellishments, to give your guests a gorgeous experience.
  • Capacity
    Confirm that the venue has enough capacity to accommodate your event’s expected attendance. If you want to host a huge occasion, ensure the space can handle it easily. Some spots may not have enough room for all attendees if they are too small or are designed differently from what you had in mind.
  • Accessibility
    Certify that the venue is easily accessible, with good public transport links and plenty of parking if necessary. Additionally, check whether the building has good disability access and facilities for people with special needs.
  • Atmosphere
    The vibe of an underground venue will depend on its design, décor, and gleaming fixtures, generating a unique ambiance for your gathering. Seek details like art installations or furniture pieces that could help set your event apart from others in town.

How to Make Underground Events Better

  • Make sure your event is well-advertised
    Advertising is key when hosting an underground venue affair, as it will help draw in more people. Contact local radio stations, newspapers and magazines, and popular online platforms. If you can, fabricate flyers or posters and distribute them throughout the area. Moreover, advertise on social media and get your friends to help spread the word about the event.
  • Make sure to have plenty of staff to help set up
    Having enough staff can make a huge difference in the success of your event. You’ll need helpers who can assist with setting up adornments, preparing food and drinks, setting up tables and chairs, and helping with crowd control. You must have enough staff on hand so that everything runs smoothly.
  • Have a professional sound system installed
    A great sound system is essential for any successful event. Invest in a system that will make your guests feel like they are in an exclusive nightclub or concert hall. This will add to the vibe of your underground venue and make it much more enjoyable for everyone attending the event.
  • Offer unique entertainment options
    Ensure that there are interesting ventures available for guests at your underground venue event. If you want to stand out from other events, think about offering live music performances or hosting an open mic night with local artists from the area. Adding unique elements to your gathering can attract more people to take part in it.
  • Ensure safety protocols are followed
    Safety should always be the top priority when arranging an underground venue event. Ensure that all protection protocols are followed, such as ensuring fire exits are easily accessible and marked, providing adequate lighting throughout the area, hiring security personnel where needed, conducting bag checks upon entry, and enforcing age restrictions if necessary.
