About Warehouse on Watts
Brick walls, low ceilings and a laser rig over a tight dance floor define the main room, which switches between underground techno and house parties, touring electronic acts, live bands, big-band nights and daytime vintage markets. A separate lounge with rope swings, plants and candlelit tables gives dancers somewhere to cool off. There are no fixed hours, since the event calendar drives everything, so checking listings before heading over is essential, and entry has at times been cash only. Recurring queer and alternative parties bring back a loyal, welcoming crowd across a wide age range. Philadelphia Magazine named it Best of Philly for dance parties in 2019. Google sits at 4.4 across nearly 600 reviews: fans rate the lighting, the sound and fairly priced drinks, while the knocks are grubby bathrooms and one visitor's complaint that the room is smaller than the name suggests.
