I love emo nite at KFN and of course tattooed mom is cool, but I’m wondering if there’s any other bars or clubs that play rock/metal music on the regular so that weirdos like me can go out drinking and actually enjoy most of the music.
Lucky 13. Great juke box
Sweeney’s in NE Philly
The Pope always had good music. (Haven’t been in over a decade so who knows what it’s now.)
Depends on the bartender for the night these days, but there's a few that play a lot of early 2000s Warped Tour music.
Depressing.
Ever since they went from old school jukebox to touch tunes the vibe has been ruined.
Foto Club. Kinda deep. I’ve never been when there’s not a show so I’m sure it depends on who is playing upstairs.
How are people still going to Foto Club after that guy got drunk and killed his employee's wife in a motorcycle wreck?
My friend says he copped to it and did Time didn’t he? Not to be too flippant but he’s not rubbing a taxi service.
Did time? Copped to it? Lmfao no. Homeboy wouldn't last a day up State Road.
He hired a big-money PR firm to do damage control for him and lawyered up to the teeth. Then he transferred as much of his wealth on paper as possible to minimize potential losses (Foto Club may be under new management, but he still profits from it and 100% hasn't sold any of it to anyone).
Dude has "copped" to nothing, and as far as I know, he hasn't even apologized. He's just sitting back enjoying the re-branding of Foto Club to a bunch of crusties who either don't know or don't care what they're financially supporting.
Edit: Also, hearing your "not running a taxi service" comment IS being too flippant about it. Guy got black out drunk, put someone who shouldn't have been on the back of his bike on the back of his bike (which is its own can of worms that I'm not going to discuss on the internet), and then crashed into a tractor-trailer, killing that person.
Then went into "protect the assets" mode and clung to as much of his money as he could — including the very club the employee of the wife he killed used to work at.
His community, his circle, his dick riding former friends all spoke pretty clearly about his actions, and his answer was as sterile as a corporation "vowing to do better."
Whether he's running a taxi service or a crust punk bar, nobody should be giving this dude a dime. We talk all this shit about community and morality in the Philly punk scene, but y'all couldn't even not support an unscrupulous philanderer. lmfao.
Fuck that dude, fuck his bar, and fuck people for giving a murderer a pass in exchange for what? The vegan taco truck in the backyard? A show venue?
Thanks for sharing this. He’s a real piece of shit. None of my friends go anymore, and no one should be supporting him after that happened
Shout that shit from the rooftops, friend. I wouldn't step foot in Foto Club even if they gave me an open tab. I may be an alcoholic, but I have morals.
Yikes. Not how it was explained to me. Thanks.
No worries. I want to clarify that I'm not his buddy or confidant or anything. Everything I've heard about it came from people who were close to him and the situation. But it's pretty easy to connect the dots from the outside looking in.
Century club
Sounds like Dobbs has been doing a bit more of this recently

Bar is usually p pop punky, bottle bar up nort is the same.
