Reviews of FABRIKA - BAR & RESTAURANT, CABARET CLUB IN PHILADELPHIA
Delicious food and a great show! The show was longer than we expected which was great because we didn't want it to end! The octopus appetizer was perfect! Normally you get a small piece if a place even has octopus, not the case here! Huge serving and cooked perfectly. The drinks were inventive and tasty. The squid ink pasta was delicious to the last bite!
Looks can be deceiving. In this case, all for the better. A once ice-cream factory, now restaurant/club that provides sights and sounds worth experiencing.
Tables are first-come, first-serve. So, the early bird gets the worm here. There is seating both upstairs and downstairs.
The center stage becomes the dance floor once the performances have ended. They just request no drinks be brought onto the dance area (simple ask, makes sense).
All-in-all, a place worth visiting.
Sunday Drag brunch is a little pricey for the best seats in the house, definitely worth it for like a birthday party or occasion but you will be entertained from the time you sit down until it's over. Even during the break they brought out a saxophonist. I missed my potty break jamming out with him.
What an experience! Fun fun fun dinner show, interactive and when it is over a great night club to dance the night away. So many unique performers, something for everyone to enjoy!
There is a dress code, follow it, live it up.
Fabrika is an AMAZING experience. This unique cabaret dinner theater is beautiful. The show included contortionist, gymnasts, drag performers, and a human beatbox.
The food was 5 star and our server was very attentive.
I would recommend Fabrika for special events.
Went there for my birthday and it was so much way Beyond my expectations, I really enjoyed the showed, super entertaining, funny, sexy, etc. The food was great, but the drinks were to die for. I love this place I would give more stars if I could
A group of us went to celebrate my sisters birthday and had a ball! This was done of ours first time visiting and can’t wait to come back. Hoping to catch the Drag Brunch. The atmosphere was very uplifting and all welcoming to all life styles.
Entertainment = A +
Food = Everything we received was cold. I purchased the skewers. Shrimp was hard and steak was chewy.
Purée beneath was cold.
Our entire table of 5 received chilly food.
Extremely expensive
Server= she was friendly, young but not very attentive to OUR table. Not sure what happened there.
3 stars for entertainment 2 missing because we left hungry after appetizer, entree and desert 850$ later.
This is 100% worth the ticket price to see the show. Just keep in mind this is a show for anyone over the age of 18, and obviously you need to be 21+ to drink.
That said, given the attention to detail as far as the service staff are concerned--the rather expensive price point for the food and beverages WITH the talented actors, dancers, band, and quirky drag-burlesque show makes every penny spent well-worth it too.
Not only were my friends and I entertained, we were mesmerized by the aerial performances, humored by some of the acts performed, and energized by the musical interludes.
I took food photos using my friend's phone, so I have to wait for her to send the photos I took before I can post them up--but we highly enjoyed each of the dishes we'd ordered. I would 100 percent go again.
I had an amazing night with my friends! The show, the food, the decor, the service and the artists we're all amazing. I recommand to go there if you go in Philly. :)
I love this venue and love the Sunday drag show but the limited Sunday brunch menu is not good. Eat before you come do not even bother with anything beyond the hummus. Who serves French fries with over cooked eggs? They do. Save your money, tip the queens and buy another cocktail.
Beautiful venue, love the ambiance of the place. Went for Sunday drag brunch and was not disappointed in the least. Enjoyed every second of the show. The food was different and tasty, not just the usual bar finger food. The host Eric Jaffe was hilarious and i lived for the queens doing their thing. Drove 1 and 1/2 hrs from north Jersey and it was worth every minute, especially considering this was my 1st drag event ever. Super talented queens for sure, loved them all. We will definitely return.... until next time Fabrika 😚🤗❤🧡💛💚💙💜🏳️🌈✌🏻
Nothing better than dinner and a show. Service was impeccable as we were immediately greeted and seated with our server quick to follow. Menu suggests ordering 2 or 3 plates per person as they are small. We made the mistake of having it served as it was ready - everything came out very quickly and we soon found ourselves trying to fit 8 plates at a two person table. Highlights were the NY Strip with the Black Boba Ganoush, absolutely sinful how good it was, though I'm not sure if it was intentional or not, but ours was served room temperature. Lamb ribs were also flavorful. Coconut Budino is a must try! Layers of flavor and texture, warmth and delight. I definitely could have passed on the pretzel fritters, as they were bland themselves and the marinara they were served with had absolutely no flavor. I also tried the Scallop Crudo, which was basically 1 small raw scallop sliced thinly and placed in a bowl with sauce; It made me confirm that I prefer seared scallops. Cast Away cocktail was unique and mixed well, I ended up having 3! Our waiter was awesome. Very efficient, always anticipating our needs, cleared dishes and provided refills as needed. Highly appreciated the exemplary service.
The show was very entertaining and full of variety. Definitely not meant for those prudish at heart. Interactive performance, talented DJ, great music with something for everyone.
As another reviewer stated, plan on spending $100+ per person and that's on top of $30 for the show. Soooo worth it though!
I’ve been wanting to go to Fabrika since learning about the night spot online. Nonetheless, Fabrika did not disappoint— we went Wednesday night. Nice crowd, not crowded, didn’t need reservations, great jazz, good drinks, and great customer service. Shout out to Kate at the bar and Evon, the DJ! The food was just okay—small plate/appetizers/tapas servings for dinner prices. We tried the chicken, shrimp, and steak. I left hungry 😊. I took one star off because of the food and the lack of parking options. Overall, you can expect a great time in an adult atmosphere. This venue has so much potential and I look forward to returning.
The show was amazing! The staff is wonderful. The food and drinks however are a 3 at best. The French toast and burrata salad was good. But that’s about it. Maybe the dinner menu is better but brunch was not worth it. Most of us went to get food when we left after spending 1200 dollars there. Cocktails 3 out of 10. If I ever return I’ll stick to wine.
Expensive but incredible! If you're looking for delightful entertainment, delicious food & creative cocktails, or a unique venue, look no further. The staff are professional and helpful and the entertainers are incredibly talented.
Their menu includes vegetarian, meat, and seafood options as well as wine, beer & cocktails. Expect to spend a minimum of $100 per person.
Entrance and first floor are wheelchair accessible. There is also a mezzanine with additional seating. Restrooms are gendered (male/female).
The food was amazing, The drinks were off the hook!!! So creative !!! Everyone was so friendly and the decor is fire 🔥! …
I had been wanting to go to this establishment for quite some time. So glad I finally did! The food, the staff and ambiance were great! The show was amazing!!! From the music, to the choreography, to the acrobatics... just WOW! We all had such amazing time! Definitely worth the visit if you can make it there.
Place is awesome! The show was top of the line! The host was amazing! They sing amazingly and gave an amazing performance. The food was amazing, drinks were delish! It is pricey so be mindful that this won't be a cheap date. Cover by itself is $50 plus a minimum of $50 in consumption. So that's at least $100 per person, they are very upfront in the lobby, so don't get surprised. You will have an amazing time! Please dress properly. This isn't your typical place, dress to impress.
Fabrika is simply an amazing experience. Great for groups! Make sure you get there on time or early to grab a seat near the center stage!
The food, especially for a venue with a show is amazing! Try everything on the menu, you won’t be disappointed.
Currently, it’s $50 Minimum, so if you aren’t a drinker and just there for food make sure you plan out your meal well enough.
The food each time I've been has been absolutely amazing! Very fresh & original. The service is always in point as well. You can just tell when the employees are happy to serve.
Today we came for the Drag Show Brunch & I honestly cannot remember when we had a now entertaining experience. Absolutely 100% recommend and will be back ASAP!! Thank you so much for the fun, ladies!
Had a great time here for my best friends birthday! The show was amazing and the food was bomb. Very expensive though 🤣for upstairs seating it was $50 per person. Can’t imagine how much it was to be in front lol. Bill came to about $400 with dinner and 2 drinks each person. Good for a night out with your girls. Some straight men in there looked stressed. And some were embracing lol know your dude 😂
Well Philadelhia really lacks entertainment scene if Fabrika gets five stars reviews. Start with non existent parking for a venue this size, heavily overpriced bottle service (300$
for 34$ Tequila??) and hardly well prepared food options, the only reason for any stars at all is mostly OK performance , largely influenced by Drag theme.
500$ per couple and that's without their overpriced bottles didn’t deliver experience at all. Unless average show is the only reason for your visit I would recommend looking for a different venue in the city
Where do I start? Loved the array of performances. EXCELLENT and ATTENTIVE servers!! Personally loved the food. Please be mindful it is on the pricer side but worth it for what you get. Thank you so much for the experience. I’d highly recommend and come back. Step out your comfort zone and explore philly!
Such an awesome experience!! Went for my birthday dinner and food drinks and the show were all incredible. Highly recommend if you enjoy burlesque/cabaret/drag etc.
The first time there, the experience was amazing. Brought more friends back and felt the quality of the performances went down significantly. They do have different performers, so maybe just a bad day? Probably won’t be back again.
Great time out. Show was exciting with dinner ..
I have never been to a performance for both the show and the food, uasully one is much better than the other…
The acts were out of this world, cirque du soleil style mixed in with a bit of comedy. The food was stellar.. I cannot wait to come back.
We had a great time. Everything was perfectly executed and well thought out. Atmosphere, service, food & drink were all very very well done. We loved watching Meesha the belly dancer who was performing that evening and hope to see her then next time she performs there. All of the entertainment was wonderful. Bravo! And congratulations for such a job well done.
Amazing drag brunch at Fabrika! The servers are friendly and attentive, the atmosphere is amazing, and the queens were top notch. We’ll definitely be back for a cabaret performance!
If you haven’t been there yet you absolutely should go! Amazing experience! The show was really good, the girls from the show walked around both floors to talk and take pictures with the guests, the food was delicious and not too pricey (we recommend Moroccan fish and lamb short ribs). The experience was worth every penny we paid. Go check out this place!
Amazing Artist Amazing Food
great shows,Staff sup friendly
went here for the Valentine's Day special I heard their were extra performances that day , but I'll definitely will be going back to check out on a regular day
Food menu is limited and pricey but very delicious
on the other hand the desserts are just ok
Fabrika itself was beautiful lots of photo ops. The performers were amazing and mesmerizing as well. My only complaint is that I rented a vip sofa so with a cost of $500 plus our tab for 4 people($700) plus tip i would’ve hope the waiters would have been more on it (not having to wait a while to order)and for some reason the performers didn’t seem to interact much with our sofa but one girl on a different sofa got a dance and one girl got to get on stage…maybe because my group was younger and the others older but a little disappointing but overall a good time still for my birthday
Update:the waiter also didn’t tell us that gratuity was included so they took 20%and we tipped 25% on top of that. And I called to ask for one back and they immediately knew and said they noticed. So why wouldn’t they say anything while we were there. But I never ended up getting the credit back anyways.
First time visiting Fabrika with my sisters. I will Definitely be back!! The performers were amazing and THE FOOD!!! Korean Chicken was so good YUMM
Great venue! Great food! Great drinks! Great entertainment! This is a must as far as experiences go. I wish I took more pics.. but when the entertainers came out, I was only about video lol. Treat yourself to a great Mediterranean dinner and show. 👍👍 …
Had a wonderful time, I'll definitely will be back. 🖤💃💃💃
The beef short ribs are amazing... Taste like grandma who taught Sunday school cooked them. Lol The show was on some Las Vegas level... It was absolutely amazing. High energy, highly talented individuals all throughout. I loved it and can't wait to return!
Everything was spectacular! The food was delicious, can’t recommend the calamari enough. The queens were so entertaining, and deserved ever tip and more!
I went there for my Birthday and the staff, food and Drinks were Amazing.. The Show was to die for 10stars all around... I just loved it there...
Fabulous time. Everyone so friendly and welcoming. Food was great! Although I ordered a pasta dish with shrimp and there was no shrimp but if there was I couldn’t see it or taste it. It’s pretty dark while diningI also had the octopus and it was great. The drinks were superb. Still earns 5 stars. Covid compliant when getting out of your seat. IMPORTANT...Bathrooms are clean! Great area made for photoshoot opportunities. So much going on with the show it’s non-stop. Great performances and energy by the magnificent host! I don’t feel like two shows could be the same! It’s power-packed to the point you pass up on side conversations that distract you from the show.
I Really Enjoyed The Show And The Food Was Good However It Was Just Small Portions … But The Aesthetics Were Decent.
The atmosphere tonight was really relaxed with a Jazz duet on piano and bass playing, and also nice mellow vibes from a Sax-man. The food is excellent, everything I've tried was delicious like you may have had any of these dishes before but not the way they're prepared at Fabrika. The grilled octopus has a great crisp to it but not overcooked and chewy, and the bean and caper sauce it's in is fantastic. The shrimp kebabs have great flavor, the hummus is excellent. The Baklava is to die for! The Boris was a great Bourbon cocktail, the cherries tasted like they're aged/stored in whiskey, a nice extra touch to it; quite like everything else here. I'll be returning soon.
This place...great entertainment, but overpriced for entrance fee.. food was not good. Becareful with the food language. It said steak, but it wasn't steak. It was great for 1 time experience, but not a place that i would go back again.
Pure talent. People who are talented beyond the Everyman perform at Fabrika. Pull together some friends, have a great dinner, a few drinks and then have your mind blown.
Get there early for great seating. We sat right behind reserved lounge seat area(basically front row). The show was awesome! I definitely have not been entertained that well in a very long time. Some of the entertainers were very believable! They were all very talented. Our tab I thought was reasonable for what we received but I hear its prices are incredibly high. I think you get what you pay for . So, for 6 people we ran a tab of $700+ we all had brunch , dessert, wine and mimosas. We also tipped well . Please bring cash! You're going to want to tip, trust me. And there is no ATM, or no cash app. Bring cash credit card for your food and drinks and cash or zelle for your tips! Cash makes your visit more interactive! Enjoy! I will definitely be back!
What a great night out! This is definitely a different experience, and I enjoyed it! I would highly suggest for a girls night out.
Definitely recommending amazing experience with friends or date night
*The food is to die for also🍸
*The show is very exciting 😀
One of a kind so fare the best place in Philadelphia by fare
Sooo much fun, the queen's really put on such a great show!! Food was great and our waitress Sara was awesome!!
What a great show. Great performers, sax player and the drums. Sat in the VIP section at top and could easily see it all.
LOVE LOVE LOVE !! The shows are absolutely amazing. Esthetic/ atmosphere is amazing . Definitely an Instagramable place . Highly recommend. We need more places like this.
Follow me on Instagram for pictures and videos ! @_.Jennifer.mia
Great place to go to for a fun date night or with a group of friends. Open your mind as this is part drag show, part burlesque, part cirque de Soleil, part circus clown, part ...who knows! Always entertaining and always fun so pay the 50 bucks, get in and enjoy the only show like it in the city. Oh the drinks and food are good here too!
Such a “unique” place! Great food specifically lamb chops and “grilled octopus”. Great vibe, great show, great service.
Aiding it to my go to places in Philly !
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
We had a fabulous date night! It was pricey but totally worth it. The service and entertainment was both amazing.. The performances were unique. Our server was very attentive. Philly needs more of these experiences!!
WoW ... you have to try this place out.. WELL WORTH IT
The place has a very open layout and very unique seating and with live music nightly and great food. It is an HONOR to be the FIRST to REVIEW this place.
Absolutely LOVED Fabrika and most likely you would too!! It has a GREAT atmosphere, as it is a VERY open space with GREAT food, and service! We ordered, NO I ordered literally everything on the menu …and shared only a little. From the pita bread to the fish dish............they were all very delicious, and nothing left to take home. Cocktails were expertly mixed and tasty!
As for the food I had 9 different dishes and each was better than the other. I know this place is new but from what I have seen this place will be real busy real soon. I strongly suggest making a reservation on a Fri or Sat a week in advance. Nightly entertainment can and will be different most nights from jazz to maybe a crazy show on a Saturday night. But I can tell you whatever it is it will be enjoyable. 2 Bars one on each side of the restaurant. They even have seating upstairs around the catwalk which will allow you to look down on to the main floor. If not for the food ..THEN GO for the bar scene,,,
Fabrika is a welcome sight to the neighborhood in Northern Liberties. Classy yet laid back.
This place is located near the Filmore but on the other side of I-95 next to Barcade
Jerry Ehrlich from the Great City of Philadelphia
It was an incredible experience.
The food was amazing and the show was awesome.
The only thing I wish I knew before there was a $50 min spend on food/drinks and $60 for the entrainment per person.
BUT
They might have written that somewhere in small ptint in their website and i didn't catch it.
Didn't matter in the end, we were prepared to splash out, but I would have liked more transparency.
Amazing experience! Worth every cent would recommend amazing performances, nice and friendly staff
The entertainment did a terrific job!! Each act was a must see performance! However I am only giving 3 stars due to the amazing performers because the food was absolutely terrible. Not only was the food bad they were sold of of every dish leaving my party of 7 with only 2 dishes to choose from (octopus & steak). Food is a waste of money but entertainment and drinks were worth it.
I had the perfect birthday party at Fabrika this past week! Such a fun experience- super talented performers, immersive and interactive acts, our server was the best we’ve had anywhere in a while, and the food and drinks were on point too. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a unique celebration!
We were a party of 5 and arrived to Fabrika on. Thursday night. The venue wasn’t crowded but had a good crowd. The building is very nice and has a industrial/minimalist look. The show was entertaining and a great experience. In my groups opinion the food was a major let down. I will pay good money for quality food but in this instance I was not impressed. I would recommend this business for the show!
Amazing venue and a spectacular experience! Everyone is so kind to interact with and very helpful! The food and drinks are delicious, and you are sure to have an amazing show. Drag brunch on Sunday is definitely a great way to spend your Sunday afternoon!
Very cool place. Show was awesome. Drinks are tasty. Food was pretty good. I think the small plates were better than the large. They need better veg options but aside from that we all had an incredible
Night
Lack of transparency on pricing or this could be a 5 star review. $50pp for entertainment, $50 Food & Beverage minimum pp on a Friday for 9PM show. Nowhere on the website or Instagram were there clear prices on tickets or food & beverage minimum, or a schedule breaking down how it may differ by day (or performance maybe?).
Performances were fabulous and worth the money, food was better than expected, server was great, space is cool, bathrooms are clean.
It’s worth it and not hard to hit the minimum if you go in expecting to drink and eat a real 9PM dinner with the show, but people should know they’re committing to $120 minimum before arrival. Just say that on the website.
I would absolutely go again, I think there’s nothing else like this in Philly and I loved the show (ours included aerialists and fire-eating). I’ll call to clarify before next visit so no one in the party is surprised and tell everyone to show up hungry.
Been to Fabrika several times for drag brunches and dinner dates. Every time is special and amazing. The performers are professional and incredible to watch. The food is exemplary. The service is one of the many reasons my friends and I continue to go back. Will definitely be back again soon.
Fantastic spot for dinner and a show....even with Covid limitations. The food was great and the show was a blast. Will definitely be back soon to see the full experience inside!
I had a wonderful experience... the ladies were absolutely a thrill.... can't wait to go again
Great dinner-and-show experience. The staff were very friendly, but did not get in the way of the entertainment. I know better than to expect a gourmet experience with entertainment, but the kitchen exceeded my expectations. Providing full service during an event like this is not easy, but the staff at Fabrika did so expertly. Would definitely go again!
Amazing food! Great show and wonderful drinks! Perfect night out with friends! Come early to get good seats :)
Amazing show. Food was cold when served but still tasted ok.
Have been here a couple of times and I'm never disappointed! The food is over the top outstanding! The chef has a unique flair to his dishes that provides pleasure to your pallette in every sense! The show is always fun and very entertaining. Will definitely go back.
I had a wonderful time the show was awesome the food was soso . The French toast was excellent but the calamari was a soggy mess. But the show made up for it especially the host shephera crystal!!
Outstanding food and show. The saxophone player coming up to the upper level on our anniversary was fantastic along with all the other acts. Simply a wonderful night.
The show was great. That's where it stops. The service we received was poor and his attitude was even worse. The gratuity was already added to the check sadly, however he did not earn the 20% tip that was given. We expected better service given the establishment and pricing included.
Great service, atmosphere and performances of course. I was told food was terrible and didn’t have high expectations but was pleasantly surprised, everything tasted pretty good, so don’t hesitate to come hungry.
Best night I’ve ever had! Highly recommend.
Not just dinner and a show, looking for a fun Vegas show like experience? Go spoil yourself with entertainment!
Brunch was delicious - I enjoyed the seafood squid ink pasta, it was light and buttery. Drag show was also a real treat. Amazing performance . There was a $30 cover (that was just charged to our table). We were also able to tip via cash or venmo. Totally worth it - can’t want to go back for a dinner performance.
Incredible performances and great service! This place is a definite must see. It does get very pricey as they have a $50 food and beverage minimum per person along with $50 per person for the show but it is well worth it on a Friday or Saturday night. The MC was very entertaining and the DJs played great music. Their show goes from 9pm to 11pm and then the stage turns into a dance floor for the rest of the night. We came as a couple after dinner and enjoyed a couple drinks as well as the short rib arancini. Will definetly come back for a special occasion!

Price - $$$$
The show was great! The atmosphere is cool. Everything else was awful. Food was terrible, pricy and small portions. 40 dollars for 5 canned seltzers, 7 dollars for a 10 oz coorslite. I mean could you at least get a full sized beer? We are in Fishtown people! Everyone in my party had an upset stomach the next day. The performers did a fantastic job and we all really enjoyed the show. I would go back but I would not order food or drinks. I would just enjoy the show.
Came here for a bachelorette party and it was incredible. Can’t believe a place like this exists in Philly. Cannot recommend it enough!!!
This was a GREAT time! I loved the diversity of performers and the food and drinks were good.
The show was good but unfortunately I can not say the same about the food.
This place was 😎 cool. The performances were calming and tranquil although the rocker we loved their performance. The drag host was great, that rainbow wig was everything. You can also take lots of pics for Instagram they have a tub, piano....it's 😍 cute an stuff. …
CANNOT recommend them enough! Spent my 30th birthday here last weekend for drag brunch and from the start, their manager/ event coordinator Anthony made planning the entire thing SO easy and stress free. Was super available for my one thousand questions and even answered me on their days off. Then day of, they upgraded my party to VIP couches free of charge and made sure my day was the absolute BEST birthday I have ever had, which it was. Justice was our server and she was the absolute sweetest and never had us waiting for anything the entire day. Not to mention the drag show was SO much fun and entertaining. The performers were phenomenal. 10/10 will be going back.
Amazing show, delicious food. High recommended
Awesome time! Great food, great waitress, and a great show!!
Wow! Pure entertainment! The performances were wonderful so much talent. The DJ was🔥 Totally worth the💵💵💵 …
Vibe was everything! Great atmosphere and awesome show!
My first time coming and the experience was amazing. I'll definitely be back again
Just go!! You won’t regret it!!! Very fun and incredible experience!
Absolutely fantastic! Every person needs to experience excitement and fun in their life!
Awesome grown and sexy date night spot. This is an experience. A little something for everyone. Food is amazing but bring your check book 😜 …
Everything was exceptionally done well! From entertainment, food🍺, and service!! Well spent coins!!!
Worth every penny! This is an experience. You get what you pay for. Def coming back.
Cool spot...reminds me of a fusion of the circus and a drag brunch..with hints of burlesque...the service is awesome.. the food was full of flavor but lukewarm. The price is 50pp for show and 50$ min.pp for other things..the decor was really nice and the vibe was nice..it's an experience for sure but not necessarily my taste.
Really cool, really unique, and really good food. Can't wait to see how this evolves and expands in terms of its nightly entertainment.
Went here on a Friday night with friends. The entertainment was subpar! I had such a good time! The saxophonist, bongo player, lady with the lampshade, along with the husband and wife were my favorites of the night. I love it here. The food is why I gave it 4 stars, it was not the best. I wish they had a bigger menu for Friday night. Our waiter was also very sweet and kind! I will be back!
Fabrika has the perfect atmosphere, the basic look of the restaurant is inviting women's bathrooms are nice, many picture opportunities, the show is amazing. Nothing you'd expect from a place in Philly so overall experience was great, however there's a $50 show fee, on top of a $50 food & beverage minimum! The show price I'm okay with, the 50 food and beverage fee is a different story. Wasn't aware until ordering that the online menu wasn't available. The menu offered for the evening was very lack luster. After already committing to spending $50 it was barely anything good to choose from. Waiter seemed overwhelmed with the party of 16 I was invited to dine with. I asked for entrée add on's since the pasta didn't offer much, waiter stated he forgot, pasta dish was plain with entirely too much black pepper. Absolutely no parking offered for the money being spent. Street parking in Fishtown is a joke. Show is definitely worth it, if you don't mind spending $50-100 on not so great food and drinks
Beautiful venue/restaurant! The service, performers and food was fantastic. Celebrated a birthday with a large size group and everyone had a blast! Would highly recommend.
My husband and I went for our anniversary and we absolutely loved it! The food was delicious and the performances were great. Our waiter was also on point. We will definitely be back.
Fabrika checks all the boxes for an amazing place to spend an evening either week a big group of friends or a sexy date spot. The entertainment is top notch and well worth the admission charge. Will absolutely be going back again
Really love a lot of things about this place -
- A+ entertainment
- beautiful venue and unique space
- great cocktails
The only negative is the food. Servers confirmed it is all pre made and you cannot edit it. Everything tastes like it has been reheated in the microwave. For the astronomical prices this is unacceptable.
This place for some reason could be not appropriate, but when you came in don’t judge, just relax
Great atmosphere! Love this place! It’s quite nice architecture and the employees are great as well! The shows are amazing with a professional sax player, a mime, an opera singer, harp player, dancers, a magician, and just a cool vibe all around. This place is super different from anything else I’ve been to and there’s an interesting variety of foods. You can come and lounge and watch an amazing show, or eat and have a drink and listen to great Music ! Don’t miss out!
I went to Fabrika yesterday for Brunch. The atmosphere was nice, the Drag show was nice. Let's get into the horrible behind menu options for Sunday brunch. There was no brunch options except eggs (3 different ways), bacon (everybody doesn't eat pork), and potato hash (really good). The Hummus is the best and I highly recommend it. The options for brunch were slim to none. Now, the drinks are overpriced and I really felt some type of way that my Pomegranate Mimosa wasn't even half way filled in the Wine glass for $13 you'll should be ashamed of yourselves getting over on people like that. I suggest you bring your own liquor and just ask for juice bc they have really LOST THEIR DARN MINDS on that whole situation. I've been to better Brunches that actually offer a BRUNCH MENU and other food options. You'll really have to do better.
This was a wild experience! My 2 friends and I went here on a whim, and ended up having a blast- I wasn't sure what to expect. We almost didn't stay because when we checked in they said oh and by the way there is a $40/pp entertainment fee and $50/pp food and drink minimum. I didn't see this amount specifically anywhere on website - so was a little turned off but we thought what the hell lets just do it!
The show was phenomenal - I would have gladly paid more than $40 for that! A lot of different types of acts (drag, dancing, singing, music, acrobatics, burlesque to name a few!). The food was...not great- with the exception of the vege pasta which was oddly really really good. I wouldn't comment on the food at all if there wasn't a food/bev minimum as I don't feel like that's their focus...but there was so I think they should have some more options (more smaller plates perhaps?)
I will mention it is incredibly and unnecessarily loud. Like had ringing in my ears after leaving- you cannot under any circumstances speak to anyone in your party (Even if directly next to you) or the waiter - I had to point at things on the menu to order. It would be nice if they maybe had an occasional break from the pulsating music in between acts. But all in all this was a lot of fun! I would come again!
My husband and I went last night for dinner to celebrate my birthday. We were intrigued by the concept and looking forward to a fun evening. Perhaps it was just bad timing but when we arrived, we were told it was their ‘soft opening’ and the only entertainment was a jazz duo. The place is beautiful but also massive. We sat at a table in a huge empty room which didn’t really match the vibe I was hoping for. The food was decent but also VERY expensive. Without any show component, I left feeling like it wasn’t worth the price.
Love the concept and the space and hope it takes off. Overall, website needs more information so you know what to expect and what not to expect. With no show, the menu is expensive. My recommendation would be to make sure you call ahead so you pick a night that truly showcases what Fabrika it all out. This past Tuesday was a bust.
This place was so amazing, great food and entertainment all in one place.
Beautiful place, amazing shows and delicious drinks. Food was not warm. Both appetizers and main course were barely warm.... gotta do better with food!!!
Absolutely amazing ! Myself and my girlfriend loved the experience
Never had a dinner theater show be so fun, engaging, and entertaining. Service was excellent, food delectable, and show was off the charts.
a really cool place. it's like dining inside a disco like an excellent show. the best part is that they are artists and spectacle. I thought it was just 1 artists and show !! I really liked the food. for those who like to eat a lot and better eat a little before going there. because what people go to this place are the show and the different environment.
Beautiful venue in Fishtown! Went to the Sunday Drag Brunch and had a great time, all the performances were fantastic. The staff were friendly and added to the experience.
Amazing performances! Service was excellent. The only reason i give 4 stars instead of 5 is the limited menu.
Great show and the Korean wings were excellent.
It was so much fun and amazing talent. So much better than expected. Go, eat, drink and be mesmerized.
I came to Fabrika's drag brunch with a group of about 14 people. They accommodated us very well, had excellent service and the show was INCREDIBLE! Even the intermission (Saxophone DJ mix) we couldn't take our eyes off! We were all standing, dancing, singing along and had an amazing time. None of us had been to Fabrika before and we all agreed we will be back. In fact, I made a reservation the very next day for our anniversary. Fabrika is now our go-to place for a unique, fun celebratory experience.
I have been around and seen quite a bit, so wasn’t expecting to be amazed; yet, I was big time! It’s a rare combo of great food (small and large plates made my choice easy) and a jaw dropping show - the performers offer variety and are not overwhelming. It’s like Broadway and circ du soleil demo. Well well worth the entire evening!
Hands down best entertainments, shows, and dancers in the city
With a 50 dollar minimum for food, one would hope they aren't sold out of stuff at the beginning of dinner service and that the whipped feta appetizer didn't come out like a frozen pad of butter. Cocktails were good and the show was enjoyable.
An enjoyable nightclub with a friendly staff. The food was very delicious there, but pricey. Very pricey. The entertainment on the Sunday night. Tango Dancing....modern pose dancing and belly dancing. Along with the DJ playing smooth music with a mini-sax
It was an enjoyable night sitting around with friends!
Awesome food and Drag show was amazing.
Food was good, drinks not so much. And while burlesque is not quite my thing, can appreciate the talents here.
Top notched performances , our waited was very attentive & polite .. gave it 4 stars because I ordered the octopus & threw it all up before the show ended .. my mother in law didn't like her puree under the shrimp & my mom is allergic to garlic which every dish had it except the rib & she had to settle for no seasoning @ all . My boyfriend loved his dish however lol
Venue is great, shows are great, the whole concept is great but I have to knock down the food - it's VERY MEDIOCRE for the price. Tiny portions, and very limited choices. It's pretty much variations of the same dishes they modify slightly over time. Perhaps it's due to COVID but I would expect a lot more from this place in terms of food, for the prices they charge. Have a nice dinner elsewhere and spend your money or drinks at Fabrika. Drinks are ok but also not out of this world. Wine selection is tiny. Hopefully they can improve on these.
Beautiful experience, pricey but the performances are amazing!
An absolutely amazing place. Between the show and food and presentation I wish I could give this place 10 stars instead of just 5.
The menu is great and small plates are definitely not too small. 2nd time here and can’t wait to come back again.
The Show was a big surprise and a lot of fun! Enjoyed the drinks but wasn't crazy about the food
Entertainment was FANTASTIC, but the food left something to be desired for the price tag it totes. Go here for a bachelorette party or some drinks with friends, but skip the food. Grilled octopus was the best thing on the menu. Also, they serve small plates family style for groups of 8 or more so don't be too hungry when you go. Otherwise this place was GREAT. Loved the aesthetic.
Great space, great music, great show however, Wait staff seemed unexperienced and were slow on service. Tried charging us for a round of drinks we never received. Had to speak to the manager to sort it out and he removed the round from our tab. He was honest and stated his staff was not up to par due to the pandemic which is understandable.
Took at least 15 minutes for a server approach the table to give the menu not even water to start with. The food was just warm not hot! The show is fine, just need different dancers. Its understable that the place just opened, so there are things to improve. The place has lots of potential.
Love this place! Great for a ladies day/brunch!!
The new menu is amazing!!! The Performance are great too!
Amazing!!!! Show was great and food was very delicious!
The atmosphere very pleasant. The people who worked there very professional. Entertainment was great!
Great atmosphere, food is tasty and fresh. Performers are AMAZING
Excellent food, outstanding and talented entertainment. Prices were fair and by no means outrageous. Highly recommend you check this out, and the cocktails I had was impressively flavor balanced and delicious.
Excellent food, entertainment and service. I’ve tried every item on the menu and have been nothing but blown away. Hummus, manti dumplings, shrimp and beef are my favorite:). The performers are so talented and include musicians, singers, dancers to contortionists, sword swallowers and aerial artists. The staff is more than attentive and always going above and beyond.. Philadelphia’s most unique venue is a must see!!
Fabulous entertainment , amazing food and drinks 🍹!!! I think we tried every cocktail on their menu. The service was great at the table and at the bar. The staff is super friendly- I can’t believe this place has only been open for 2 weeks - the staff made it look effortless. Beautifully decorated/ gorgeous decor! My new favorite place in Philly ❤️
Best service ever! Last night there was a mishap but the server was super sweet and took care of it! Thank God because I can be spicy when tipsy lol. But it was a great time! The show is definitely worth it!!!
My sisters took me here for my birthday as a surprise and it was awesomeeeeeeeee! I freaking love it! The food was great the drinks were awesomeeeee the vibe was just there and the dancers were amazingggggggg!!! Love love love it service 100 thank you guys so much.
We went for their grand opening with a group of friends and had a wonderful time! The food was good, service was very attentive and the performers were EXCELLENT! Looking forward to going back and seeing how it develops over time
I can't recommend Fabrika highly enough - I never write reviews but I feel as though I owe it to this place for giving me one of the most memorable nights I've had in years. The food and cocktails are incredible, the service staff was attentive, friendly and super helpful, and the entertainment was stunning. We went on a Saturday night (luckily with a reservation made about a week beforehand) and were sat just as the theater was picking up steam. The burlesque/dance/acrobatic performances had us standing up out of our seats for the majority of the evening so as not to miss a thing, and the breaks between sets reminded us to actually eat our food. I really liked that there was still a dance club-like vibe between sets and after the performances were through - that way the pace of the evening did not feel like it slowed or stalled.
To top it all off, I forgot my credit card at the bar and was unable to go back to get it because I had to leave town. When I called during the week, management was extremely accommodating and mailed my credit card to Boston for me. A must-visit in Philly! I will be back!!
Amazing!!! Some of the most fun I've ever had!
This is what I've been looking for! I truly forgot I was in Philly for a second. I loved everything about this place! The decor makes you want to take pictures everywhere! The costumes, performances, host, dj, and food were stellar! Very interactive and just enough fantastic distractions to sooth my self-diagnosed ADHD! It felt like I was in Vegas!
Wow i can’t wait to come here when they open up. We had a sneak peek and it looks amazing
Amazing
Loved the food
Ambiance

Absolutely amazing! Every aspect of this place is worth it. Incredible entertainment paired with excellent food. Dress nice and stay for the entire night! Its not cheap but you definitely get what you pay for!
So much fun! We ordered almost the entire menu and everything was delicious. Arrive early for the best seats - so worth it!
Excellent show. Only thing I would have changed is eating before I went. The food was great just a little pricey for what you get.
I can tell that this dinner theatre was made from passion. The atmosphere is exquisite with jaw dropping chandeliers. Fabrika is nothing like any other restaurant in Philadelphia. It’s an experience with extraordinary performers and delicious foods.
So much fun! We will definitely be back soon!
Awesome food, awesome service, and amazing entertainment.
OMG! Great food, Professional Staff, Fun Entertainment, and Wonderful Atmosphere! Love ❤ at first visit!
Great PCC Office Party!
Food, entertainment and atmosphere are great but wait staff could be better trained. Great place for a large party. The place really comes alive after 10PM. Philly needed a place like this and I’m looking forward to returning.
What an awesome and trendy place. Came here on a date with my wife. Amazing and eclectic atmosphere, friendly staff and super yummy food. Will definitely be back again very soon.

The drinks were average, the shows are nice to watch I loved the venue but don't waste your money on the food

Greatmaaaz clip place to
Great place 👌 …
Cool place
A great show good drinks great service. The bill at fabrika is gonna be hefty but the service and entertainment is well worth it. Think of it as two separate experiences theater and dinner. A good dinner might cost you 200 or more and tickets to a show 150+. That plus tip is about what you will spend at fabrika but it's well worth it.
So fun!! Great service. Such a fun atmosphere!!
A great show ok food and great drinks. Don’t be surprised by the bill it will be significant but the entertainment makes it worth while also amazing service from Beth our waitress!
Awesome Time
Great experience with friends for a night out. Highly recommended!
Amazing experience!
Besides the girl that I asked for ketchup that said “that’s not my job” everything was I amazing. I’m just amazed that girl had the audacity.
Great energy loved celebrating my friends birthday here!
Fabulous start to finish and all the inbetween!
I absolutely loved my time at Fabrika. I went with 5 friends to celebrate my birthday and we all had an amazing time. We started our time with dinner, and the food was great! We shared a few tapas and entrees and everyone enjoyed everything. We also LOVED the cocktails. Lots of really cool and inventive options you don’t see often. The show itself was a masterpiece. We all found performances that we connected to and each of us had a great experience. After the show the floor opens up as a dance floor and my entire group was out dancing for hours. It’s a really great time and unlike anything else in Philly! Definitely recommend!
Best drag brunch .. period!
Best time ever!!
Great show!!!!
