Hellos! We are delighted to report that after almost two years of planning and renovation – BOOT & SADDLE opens this Monday September 9th. For those not in the the know Boot & Saddle was an old country bar which closed up shop in 1995 and remained shuttered ever since. We began renovations early in the year and can not wait to finally show it off next week! With so many of our friends and staff living in South Philly Philly, we are thrilled to bring a live music venue along South Broad St.Boot & Saddle will be open 7 days a week with a front bar and restaurant that holds about 60 people. In the rear of the room, through a large set of double doors you enter the music hall / venue portion of Boot & Saddle. It holds 150 people and features a the same d&b soundsystem that has been installed in Union Transfer (obviously a smaller version). We are quite confident this will be your new favorite place in Philadelphia to check out a show.Upcoming shows include : Ted Leo & Aimee Mann, Grails, Elf Power, Palma Violets, Quasi (feat Janet from Sleater Kinney), Nightmares On Wax, Crocodiles, Far-Out Fangtooth and lots more.
