The Chestnut Club

The Chestnut Club at the old Arcadia Theatre is one of Philadelphia's most unique venues.It opened on April 24th 1915 with a showing of "The High Road" with prices ranging of  15 to 25 cents per ticket. The Philadelphia Inquirer on that date touted is as having an air-conditioning system and modern design. Since then the space has fast food restaurant and woman's fashion store before being revitalized as an incredible venue.

The Chestnut Club is an interesting and magical Center City Philadelphia venue for small to large social and corporate events, from weddings to meetings. The private loft-like event space has many rich details, including exposed brick walls, floor-to-ceiling windows, soft halogen lighting, elegant silk draping, high coffer ceilings and a grand piano.
You can see many incredible images of the venue at

The venue is perfect for any social or corporate event. Drexelbrook Catering  has catered weddings, corporate events, scotch tastings, networking events and been involved in bridal showcases all at this versatile venue.
