Set-It-Off Go Go Bar

Not like it use to be when Marv owned the place. Paid $20 to get in. I ordered a drink and the bartender/dancer pretended that she didn't realize that I gave her…

First trip to Philly area since 2019. This is my first time trying this club - probably last also. Far as I could tell, this is a black club, which…

This place is technically a After hour, we got there at about 1230am(their open til 6am), there's 2 levels. The downstairs has 1 long bench against a wall for LDs. Then there's…

I arrived at Set it off around 11:30pm. Parking was very hard to find. Set it off is on a one way street, I had to park about a block away and…

This review reflects my visits up to July 2019. I’m not sure if anything has changed since my last visit. Set It Off is one of my favorite clubs to go to! Having…

This was my go to spot for what I was looking for. It's located in a neighborhood that some might feel looks a little sketchy but I've never had a problem. Parking…

Club was an ok spot to have a few drinks and get some dances. $5 entry $5 dances is bout as cheap as they come. Last week the police shut them down.…

Stop #3 of my night brought me here. I passed by it a couple of times-either my sight isn’t is as good or they need a better sign. Parking was on the…

It was $5 cover to enter into this place. Lots of guys hanging around outside on the sidewalk. The place is long and narrow with benches and seats along the left side…

OK all other reviews have been accurate. Shady but quiet neighborhood. 5-10 buck entrance fee with a pat down by a self important security guard. Paid the drink minimum fee and looked over the very…

Always looking to stop by but was disappointed this night. Usually a good spot to get your money's worth but there was a different vibe this time around, I'd say skip out…

Came to my fav spot after a long hiatus. Got the normal pat down at the door, paid the cover(5) and got my first drink of the night. There appears to be…

After visiting some friends in Northern Liberties, decided to swing past my old stomping grounds at Set it Off. The spot was closed down for a few months for renovations. I actually…

I revisited again on Saturday 9:30 pm. I was the first customer in and they had not even started playing music. However around 8 girls were already there. They started music as…

This club has finally opened after renovation. They open at 9:00 pm now and entry is $10. During my visit there were 4 girls. 2 black and 2 Latin. Apparently there is…

I was finally able to make it after their long due renovation. The place definitely looks nicer, the setup is still the same but with new lighting and stand up bar, the…

this place used to be my HQ back in the day.. 5 \$ cover... 4$ lappies.. cheap drinks tight space good times.. welll the first shocker was the cover being 10$... and now…

So the club is finally back after a long renovation. I'll go over the changes starting with entry. The door is still the same, but when entering you will notice a lot…

This was probably the best go go bar I've ever been to. Only problem is it can get a little crowded around 1 due to the limited space but I heard they…

Finally got a chance to make it back. Entry cost is still the same $10. What's different is the drink I paid 6 before cost me 11. They got rid of all…

One of my favorite spots in the city was down for the count for months...remodeling kept this joint shuttered for the entire summer and much of the fall. But the adventurous…

So here is my story Drove up, and feeling like I need to see some of my favorites. Get to the door, and the lights are out and the metal shutters were down.…

Speaking with one of the girls, the club is to be closed for a few weeks for renovations. There's usually 10 or so girls working any weekend night. Dances are…

I went there last Tuesday on my way home and it was closed for the first time. There was a sign posted on the outside that said a woman was killed ouside…

Let's cut to the chase the area is hood, but police patrol all over the place so its as safe as one can be if you keep to yourself. Now on to…

After being out with some work buddies we decided that the night was still young and we wanted to hang a little more. I decided to take them to set it off.…

The club is small - it has a bar on the right side and a bench on the left side. Dancers told me that they prefer to give dances on the chairs…

Decided to stop by on a Wednesday night due to boredom and time to kill. The neighborhood hasn't changed but there is street parking in the area and since this is a…

Visited around 10:30 pm on Saturday night. Unlike other people; I found parking easily may be because I was too early. The place starts to pickup around midnight and closes at 2:00. Here is…

This club still hasn't changed much since I first reviewed it. I go there because it is on my way home from NJ. Last time I went, it was on a Tuesday…

After a disappointing visits to Gold Club and Risqué, I decided to go back to my roots and pay Set it Off a visit. The faces have changed but the setup and atmosphere…

Set it off used to be my go to spot before I graduated to Atlantis n outer space.... Im pretty sure everyone knows the layout small bar in the hood of north philly..…

I went to Set it Off again after over a year break. The signs in the front say new girls and under new management. This is the place with the $5 bar…

I haven't been here in awhile, but was in the area so I stopped in. Again, the only thing that would make this place better is if it was open during the…

I went to this club on a wednesday, Wednesday is their slowest day of the week, not sure about Monday or Sunday since I never went on those days. The first time…

Been here many times and it seems to always be different dancers. Arrived at 10pm on a Thursday and apparently that is now their opening time. Was pretty cool that…

So first the bar is smack dab in the hood so if you have a issue with that don't go. Plus parking is horrible in that area. Money goes along way there…

Am I the only one reviewing this club? Anyway, I usually stop by this club sine it is on my way home from work. It's a gogo bar with stools where you can…

So I went back to this bar on my way home Thursday night. The place opens around 10pm, but I dies not start filling up until around 11:30 pm and it close…

Like most of the reviews about this places it's definitely a spot you have to be very aware of your surroundings and keep your head on a swivel. I usually role solo…

This place never disappoints. The only thing that would make this place better is if it was open during the day. I mean how can you not love a place that…

So this spot is not for everyone but I love spots like this and had a great time. So to start off with the location of the club. Yes it is in…

This place is more like a bar turn into a strip club, it wasn't built for stripping at all. It is very narrow and small, music is being played from a jukebox…

I enjoyed myself this place is very natural it's a lap dance spot 5 bucks a song so you can have a good time and don't spend a whole lot of money…

Too bad SIO isn't open earlier than 10:30 pm, usually pre-game in area dance clubs to bide time. Even though it was a long time since my last visit, great bartenders remember…

Decided to pay this spot a visit as I've heard mixed reviews. Well, I must say this spot is definitely worth the trip. As mentioned in other reviews, the club is located…

First off, this club is in a very dangerous neighborhood. One of the roughest areas of North Philly, so be very cautious of your surroundings. The club lay out is very small. It…

Decided to check out Latin Wednesdays. Arrived around quarter to eleven. Paid the $5 cover and had to listen to the bartender repeatedly ask me what I wanted as I was putting my…

I arrived a little before ten 10:00 and the door was locked, was told they open at 10. Came back at 10:15 and about 10 girls were sitting around and as…

I stopped by last Wednesday night at 9 pm. I was told by the door guy that the club wasn't opening up until 10 pm. I went back to the car with…

Stopped by set it off on a Friday evening with a friend of mine after he recommended it to me. Initially I expected to be disappointed, but actually had quite a good…

Neighborhood- Not the best , Park close to the establishment and in well lit areas. There are some bars in the a block away on a major street. This place is a corner…

Came in the place on a whim, not really familiar with the area but it looked a little shady. Especially if your not from around there. My friends and I were informed…

The Basics: $5 cover $2.50 Yuengling Special that night so I'm not sure of the usual prices. $5 Lap Dances. Couch dances available but I did not partake. $20 I think? Set-It-Off Go Go…

First, my white homies--do NOT be afraid. This neighborhood IS seedy, but I've taken my white friends here often and we've never had an issue. The area is mostly Latino…

Went here during the week just after work. This place is still my go to spot. The standard crew of girls are starting to remember me and give me hugs when I…

Great news to start off this club isn't closed. It's up for sale but still up and running for sure. I visited this spot last night around midnight or so. It was…

The owner here sucks. I keep trying to give it a chance but all I hear is him giving the girls crap. Dance or move on, dance or get back in line,…

Went to set It Off on Latin night.Cover was $5.00.You have to buy a drink,so $5.00 more.I walked in and was shocked!There were about 8 girls lined up by the Bench.You can…

Went here on a Wed after getting off of a late shift. The girls here were a good mix of ok to great. Went through the normal routine of parking near the…

I've been here many times. Over the last year or so it seemed like the quality of girls went down. Well not this Friday night! Arrived around midnight and was…

I decided to check out the club for the first time last Wednesday night. I heard it was Latin night which is supposedly its best night to go, and indeed it was.…

Visited 3 weeks ago on a Friday night. Got there about 10pm and it was pretty slow as far as customers. The girls (as they usually are) were lined up…

If you're looking for cheap thrills this is the place to be.. Five dollar lap dances... Let me repeat five whole dollars... The same amount you spend on a subway footlong you…

Visiting a friend in the neighborhood and decided to go to my oldie but goodie spot. I would always go here for a sure good time. The cover is $5 and you…

I went to set it off go go last Wednesday for Latin night. The girls are changing more frequently and getting younger. There is a mandatory $5 coverage and a patdown upon…

Heard the radio advertisement about this place so I decided to check if out. The area is scary to say the least, it's not in the best of spots...but once…

This place is 95% black girls, 5% latina girls who want to be black. What is good about it is that your money does go a long way, at $5 per…

I've passed Set It Off a few times before, but never went in. It looked like it wasn't much, but boy was I wrong! Cover at night is $5, but…

Oh Man, i went over to this joint on a Wednesday for Latin Nights, and there were some sexy spanish girls in there. There was this one thick girl who I swear…

Waa in Philly for business so decided to check out the SC scene. Not worth the time but am from Texas and the mileage is by far the best compared to…

Things are still the same here. 5 to get in, 2 drink minimum (although they don't keep track). I love that the crop keeps getting younger, with a few vets there. 5 for a…

Me and about 3 of my co-workers walked in around 10:15pm and it was crowded. We were half ass patted down and let in. Paid the cover and sat at the bar.…

I am NOT a fan of this club or the owner. I will say more later. There is a door fee and a mandatory 2 drinks. There is also…

Went back to SIO after a long hiatus. Most of the girls were new to me with a handful of veterans hustling for money. There is still a $5 dollar cover charge,…

They seem to be doing a complete overhaul at this place in regards to the girls. They even got new bartenders. My only problem is that the bartenders seem to charge different…

I got to the club late, it was wel after midnight. I don't know if it was the lateness or the weather but there were only a few girls. There…

Congrats to the Club in making it to the top ten in "dollar value". The club as fallen off a bit when I was last there. Its still $5 to get in…

Well, it's GREAT to see that they've added new talent and got rid of some of the old baggage. Still $5 to get in. $10 to get some lady to grind in…

I went on a Friday night, and got there around 10pm, plenty of girls in there and not many guys. Because it was kind of empty, me and my friend were…

Of all the places I have been to, this was my favorite. Nice women, cheap cover and cheap dances...only in America. I like the fact that the general lap dances…

This club was definitely an interesting experience. I think I was a bit overwhelmed.... The neighborhood is not the greatest, nevertheless, I was able to find safe-seeming street parking.…

This is a little hole in the wall club that doesn't even look like a club. It looks more like a bar. When you walk in, there are 5-10 girls standing around.…

Visited this place on Wednesday ,Latina Night, but there was only a handful of true latinas there. Mostly a black club with a few Caucasians and latinas. There were no asians or…

Great club...get past the initial looks of the neighborhood and the exterior and you can have a lot of fun here. There are usually lots of girls working so be careful…

It's 5 or 10 to get in (didn't pay due to doorman watching chicks). $5 for a LD. Some girls give better mileage. Some girls don't want you to…

This place is a great value and one of Philly's best kept secrets. There are always 6-20 girls rotating around. The place is kinda small and can get tight on…
