Venue Spotlight: Warehouse 24

This Week’s Venue Spotlight is on Warehouse 24 in Woodlyn. In my opinion there are a few standard things that make a random building a good venue for enjoying music, I call it the “LASR” (pronounced Laser) Method. If you’ve been reading the blog, you’ve seen it before!

Location, Location, Location: Warehouse 24 is located in an area that most people don’t love, to be honest. It is very close to Chester, which has had a staggering amount of violence. That being said, I’ve never had a problem. The bar has ample parking. It is also within walking distance to Widener University, so every night of the week it is packed with college kids.

Ambiance: The Ambiance at Warehouse 24 is interesting because they have different sections, and each one has a different feel. They have the deck outside, which is a place to smoke and talk. There is the pool room which is loud and lounge-like. There is the main center room which is a giant dance club. Last, but not least, there is a back room that features live amateur local bands.

Sound Quality: Warehouse 24 has a state of the art entertainment system. The sound is loud enough to blow your ears out and the quality is great. Every time I’ve been there I have been able to hear everything very clearly. I think it is the best bar in Delco to catch a cover band. The Boys from Modern Bliss and Split Decision are both frequently there!

Refreshment: Warehouse 24 is a bar. That is all. There is a pizza place next door that stays open until at least 2 a.m. Warehouse 24 has fair prices and often run good specials but there is always a cover.

My verdict: Overall, I love Warehouse 24! I think they did a great job rehabbing the place, it is MUCH better than the old bar that inhabited that building. The sound system is perfect for the room, and big-name local acts love to play there. If you’re over 21 and you haven’t been yet, do yourself a favor and head down there soon. I’m a regular there, so as always, if you see me, say "hello!"
