About


Penn Social, a brand new venue in Penn Quarter, gives you everything you want. 13,000 square feet over two floors, with 3 bars, patio seating, 40+ draught beers, 2 stages, and tons of games. We run events as varied as Karaoke, Trivia, a Comedy Open Mic, a Music Open Mic, happy hour music, live performance, game shows, with even more in the works. We also facilitate bocce ball league games, corn hole leagues, classic arcade games, skee ball, billiards, shuffle board, foosball and even more (hint: Big Buck!). For the sports fan, Penn Social features a 22 foot HD better-than-the-stadium theater screen, as well as 7 other HD projection screens and HDTV's throughout.  When you are standing at the main bar (with 28 draft lines) you can see 7 different NFL games at once and the smallest screen is 15 feet!  Tired of playing games, we have live DJ's during Late Nights at Penn Social, Friday and Saturday, that keep the dance floor shaking all night long. This is a place for everyone. Have an idea, contact us. (*Penn Social is not affiliated with or sponsored or endorsed by the University of Pennsylvania*)

We have a full range of A/V technologies, PowerPoint presentation capabilities on a 22 foot screen, seating for 200, wireless microphones, full stage with professional lighting setup, video/audio recording options and live streaming capabilities with a dedicated 10MBps internet connection. It's more than that though. At Penn Social, you can have a business get together, a birthday party, a happy hour rendevouz, a private party, a show, a concert, even a dance... did we mention we have games?
