Local tip
Review the event calendar before planning an evening, since the venue combines live performances with lounge and nightclub spaces.

Midnight & The Wicked is a speakeasy-style jazz lounge beneath a historic Philadelphia building, shaped by the atmosphere of the 1920s and the city’s Prohibition-era nightlife. The venue combines hand-crafted cocktails, live music and several distinct settings for an evening that can move from relaxed conversation to late-night dancing.

The main Midnight space centers on plush seating, a bar and a lounge area where mixology takes the lead. Classic cocktails and specialty creations are part of the experience, with an atmosphere designed for relaxed drinks and refined evening socializing. The setting suits cocktails before a show, a night out with friends or a more intimate meeting over drinks.

The Vault offers a more intimate environment, with close conversation and a private bar serving specialty cocktails. Its smaller-scale layout gives the space a quieter character than the club area, making it suitable for guests seeking a more contained setting within the venue.

Red velvet banquettes and a view toward the stage define the Crimson Theater. The room provides a setting for live performances and lets guests settle into a theatrical atmosphere while enjoying the evening. It adds a performance-focused element to the venue’s collection of rooms.

The Wicked shifts the mood toward nightlife as the evening progresses. A dance floor provides space for a more energetic night, while private VIP tables and bottle service create an option for groups marking a special occasion or keeping the evening centered around a reserved area. The room carries the venue’s strongest nightclub character while retaining its old-world hospitality and Prohibition-inspired style.

Located at 1500 Sansom Street, Midnight & The Wicked operates as an indoor, late-night cocktail and entertainment venue. The four spaces allow different kinds of evenings under one roof, from lounge seating and conversation to live music, private gatherings and dancing. Reservations, bottle service, private events and an event calendar are available as part of the venue’s offerings. The dress code and venue policies are handled separately by the establishment.
