About Vango Lounge and Skybar
Red tufted booths, white moon-gate arches, a red-lit chandelier bar and hookah service fill the lower lounge on 18th Street, while the skybar above is a fairy-lit terrace looking straight up at Liberty Place and the Center City towers. Doors open at 6pm and run to 2am every night except Tuesday, and the kitchen keeps going late with salmon pasta, leg of lamb, wings and shrimp dishes. Bottles arrive in lit ice buckets for table groups. The 3.2 average from over 500 Google reviews makes it one of the more divisive rooms in the area: several guests say promotions advertised on Instagram and Eventbrite, including free entry, were not honored at the door, and describe staff and owners as rude, while others praise attentive servers and a relaxed club-meets-restaurant feel on quieter weeknights. Entry terms are worth confirming before an event night.
