Philadelphia Nightlife - Philadelphia’s nightlife is an amazingly vibrant scene. You can find clubs and bars galore in this city, with a style, flavor and beats to match any taste. You will love going out on the town in Philadelphia. The first thing I should mention is that these clubs are not for kids, and the city of Philadelphia takes its drinking laws very seriously, it is not an uncommon event to find police officers near the club entrances or inside undercover. If you happen to be under twenty one or traveling with people who are under twenty one, you may want to find something else to do. Its not worth getting bused on your vacation. Some places have an eighteen to party, twenty one to drink policy, but you should call ahead to ask before you go to all the trouble of getting there.

Philadelphia Clubs - You may also want to call ahead and make sure that the club is open the night you want to go, clubs are rented out for private affairs or may simply not be open during the week in the off season. Calling ahead is generally a good idea if you are not going during the summer. There are some clubs in the city that cater to teens, but usually what you will find is that they are regular clubs which are open to teens only one night a week or only during the summer. I would not count on being able to find one of these clubs, as very few reputable places run these every night. It is really a hit or miss proposition. A word to the wise, visitors are easy marks for all kinds of low lives who are looking to scam or hurt you. It s fun to visit a club but do not let that cloud your mind. Keep your drink in sight and always have a sober ride home. Most clubs will let you call a taxi on there phone if you are too drunk to get home on your own.
