Walnut Room
With its somewhat discreet locale above Alfa restaurant, Walnut Room is a much-needed addition to the Rittenhouse nightlife scene. Climb the stairs and find yourself amidst a stylish and sophisticated, yet casual lounge. Dimly lit and draped in shades of red, Walnut Room offers an atmosphere to please many. Even with its narrow space, there is plenty of seating throughout and enough bar space to see and be seen. The DJ perches above a small dance floor, which is usually packed with people. They also offer a more private room overlooking Walnut Street for those nights when you would rather just relax and watch the crowd. Whatever your mood, Walnut Room will provide a fun and interesting evening. Specialty drinks are what they’re known for, along with a broad variety of music, including hip-hop, old school, and salsa depending on the night. I’ve even seen the infamous roller-skating dancers there a few times, so you never know what the night will bring. This lounge is heating up the Rittenhouse area with delicious drinks, cool music and a fashionable crowd, but without the pretentiousness that places in midtown can sometimes bring.
Call for weekly events and DJ rotations.
