The Venture Inn is one of Philadelphia’s cultural icons. Centered in historical downtown, patrons can still see preserved sections of architecture from hundreds of years ago, including sections of the underground railroad that once ran through Philadelphia. There have been many changes through the years, and these days the Venture brings you not only exceptional gourmet food, but full bar service, theme parties, brunch on Sundays, high definition TV in our lounge, game machines for your amusement, and even an Internet hot spot! Visit us today and enjoy a happy hour drink with our friendly bar staff, or let our Host seat you in our formal dining room to enjoy a more relaxed environment.

We felt comfortable as soon as we entered this very wonderful place. Our waiter was hospitable and gracious. The rack of lamb and the pork chop were a celebration, if indeed that word is applicable here. We are from NYC and this food is easily a match for some of the outstanding cuisine we enjoy here. We will recommend The Venture Inn for dinner to our friends and colleagues in NYC, and Philadelphia always remains a favorite place and exciting city for both of us.

The "new" Venture Inn is a welcomed breath of fresh air. A lively, fun crowd. The drinks are better, the food is outstanding. Even the staff seems to be happier.
Kudos to you Mr. Berkowitz, keep up the good work !

It's the most bar on Camac st.!! The bartenders, (especially Tommy) are a lot of fun. These guys enjoy thier jobs too much! It has a diverse crowd of regular patrons who are all such nice people. Gays & Lesbians alike-Theyre all such wonderful people who make you feel right at home aas soon as you walk through the door.

The Venture Inn is a home away from home. The staff is always so nice. Henry the hottie bartender can and will make you any cocktail you can imagine. He is awesome, between the witty one liners and the ice cold beers.... The Venture Inn Rocks!!!!

Danny and Tommy are two of the best bartenders I've ever seen!! Tommy can make you the absolute best martini or cosmo you have ever had in your life! His Long Island Iced Tea's are amazing!!! The drinks are priced good and the food is excellent!! We love that place because of them guys.
