Kung Fu Necktie Review

A good move especially on nights when they have events and dance parties

I looooooove this place. As a black girl from Brazil, it feels like home.

Pretty dope joint! Stopped in for 80's dance night and had a great time. Atmosphere is dark and awesome. Good energy! Reasonably priced drinks.10/10 would dance to "I Wanna Dance With Somebody" with somebody (who loves me... or not) again.

It's a good performance and dance bar with many events going on over a typical month.Everything from performances to dance events at reasonable prices.Kung Fu Necktie is situated well in Fishtown,Philadelphia with the subway and trolleys just a few blocks from it.

Discovered this place just yesterday.. 1st time last
((KungFu virgin. . ))..felt awesome vibes instantly.
.taking me back to NYC nights . Wish I lived closer to Fishtown.

Well, they got the "FU" part of the name right. Feels like a leftover set from some 3rd rate "rock" movie from '08: just looks like every other made-to-order rock dive you've ever seen. That said, I've probably seen more good shows with horrendous local openers here than anywhere. But if you go for an event and find its been bumped upstairs then you're in for a treat.

Music was good, beer was fairly priced and had enough space for everybody to sit/stand comfortably

Great music and really good drinks...sucks that they ONLY take cash, I don't know what's that about. Small and a bit crowded, so be prepared to SWEAT IT OUT! Lol I would go back

I've been here a couple times. Once the bouncer being a dick to my friend because she had an out of state ID, and then another time I went to a Disney themed night and saw multiple couples grinding to Under the Sea from the Little Mermaid, so... interpret that as you will. Not the worst bar though and obviously I'm a little biased against it. One big issue for me is that I don't see any reason to go here over the Barbary which I like a lot more for a dancing bar.

Drinks for every budget, great venues for small shows.

Classic staple place to kick back and have a beer and socialize with friends and local like minded folks. Great place to catch an inexpensive local show of virtually any band or live performer you could ever want. This place is legendary in it's own right.

Emo night is incredible. A nice journey back to my high school days of listening to panic, FOB, Cartel, Brand New and so much more. Love the emo karako too!!

Employees are cool, sound is ok. They need to remove the pool table that takes up half the front room. Usually overly hot inside, no matter the weather outside. Seating is very limited and the fact that the show room is raised above the barroom makes it impossible to see anything on stage unless you're right up front.

KFN is currently my favorite venue in Philly for local metal and punk shows. Just the right blend of divey and kitschy. 10/10

So the most fantastic show concert the reign of kindo was outstanding beyond words! So three groups from 8 p.m. to 1 a.m. for $15! Outstanding evening!

Great bands and strong drinks can be found at this hidden gem of a bar. Ask for the owner, his name is chicken. Tell him i sent you and give me a ride home. Please.

Cool spot to play a show. Chill vibe (most times), nice pool table.

This is one of the coolest venues I've ever played at. Played here on tour from North Carolina in 2017, and definitely hope to return. Philadelphia is one of the most fun cities I've visited, and this venue is no exception. Good drink prices, accommodations for touring acts, higher than average attendance, and I got the opportunity to meet some really cool people! Definitely check out a show here when you can.

The Kung Fu necktie is a hole in the wall hipster bar for Millennials under the L train practically! Basically with this place it is like SpongeBob on opposite day and everything is backwards! If they're having one of their little so-called events most people are going to have trouble with the doorman taking the money and that's never a good thing for any money making establishment. The next problem is the size of this venue and the fact that it's just a hole in the wall! They have no regular beers at this place so you won't find Budweiser, Miller, Corona, Yuengling, or any of that stuff. You will find what they calling craft beers but are cheap knockoffs made from ground up Christmas trees at a high price. Places like this ruin the metal scene and are continuing to do so. I remember when they had a N.S. Band called Krieg play and all the Hipster skinheads were there for the black metals. Hipster Jameson took the stage and just yelled into the microphone for a while with his buddy the Hipster drummer just playing aimlessly! Also hipster and Millennial culture needs to stop! Places like this should not even encourage them if they want to be an efficient business!

Had a great time Goooo! Counterfeit!! We love ya guys

They've always had shows here but the last couple months have been killer. A lot of punk and metal. It's a small venue but that's what makes a great show. Nice and intimate. The bar has great specials and I love the atmosphere. Truly an institution in Philly.

This place is so much fun when when family and friends night with Matthew Law.

Wow! Incredible first visit. Blown away on a Monday night!

Cool place. Great live bands especially Breaklite and The Dead Flowers!

This place used to be great, now caters more to being a dance club.
