Fresh again...

Given the older reviews, they must have "cleaned house" because I actually had a great time. The staff was friendly and there was a new VIP section that looked really nice. The drinks were no more expensive than anywhere else in Rittenhouse, plus the music is good and the people are sexy... Can't complain about that!

They stole my purse!!!

I was there with a few friends, the barmaid stole my purse...I asked for management (TIM) and was old to get the f*** out...Did they try to help us, no! I called the police,made a report... I would tell anyone who wants to try a new place, don't try here!!

Inappropriate Staff

Went to Denim for Bachelor/Bachelorette Party. Paid incredible amount of money for the VIP Upstairs Lounge. Fiancé' went to bathroom and was wrongfully accused of throwing up. First of all, he did not. Secondly, is it club policy if someone was sick they would be thrown out? Of course not!! Clubs ask customers to leave based on intoxication and destructive or violent behavior. In this case, Management was requested and the request was denied by the doorman and the "so called bouncer". My poor fiancé only had a chance to have two beers!! This night cost around $2,000.00. Is this how they expect to maintain customers, especially their VIP paying customers? I have searched the internet and see mostly negative reviews. Finally, I will say, this club is not what is featured on the website, it is a trashy warehouse club with black spraypainted walls, exceeds it's Occupancy limit, which is a fire code violation and is absolutely filthy inside. Never will I return, and from my experience, clubs like this are shut down fairly quickly when they continually violate fire codes and city ordnances that are reported!!! At this point, I am in the process of addressing code violations with the local fire department, and the city of philadelphia for multiple unaddressed code violations, along with the owners of the facility, who are Wayne Shulik, Michael Silverman, Christopher Cwienkala and Micheal Churbuck in case anyone else would like to address these issues:

Once-a-hit, but now-a-miss

Visited a year ago & had an AMAZING time....visited this past weekend 9/9/06 & it was SLIM PICKINS! The hired help outnumbered the crowd, you have to be a card holding "member" to enter now & there was a professionally installed, horizontal, mirrored surface next to the bathroom sinks...hmmmm, wonder what that was for? This former "it" spot is kinda desperate & it can't fool anyone anymore.

miserable

Never Really a Hot Spot

Overpriced drinks and overall a disappointment. Music pretty good, though - - That is if anyone was ever dancing!

Spit/Spat

   oilcanboyd09 - 03/21/2005

I saw Oprah’s father here. When I approached him, to congratulate him on his daughters’ success, he spat in my face before I was able to speak. My only reconciliation of the episode was the fact that his discharge cost him no less than $15.00.
This is a good place to get spitted on. And sight celebrity patriarchs.

We had a Sweet 16 party on a Sat. afternoon at Denim and found the ambiance, the staff and the food to be wonderful. Christopher Robin handled the two nervous families giving the party courteously and with professionalism. It's a thumbs up for private parties during off hours.

already old

Weak...Full of phony yuppies, Japs, and people who think they should be employed in Hollywood, only they're too ugly...Like denim, this place is faded.
