New All Ages Friendly Venue Opens !

Well I dont think NOFX will be playing there anytime soon, but The Barbary is opening under new management and ownership. One of the owners happens to be our longtime friend John Redden who used to help us out overe here at R5.

The new Barbary will primarily operating as a 21+ bar/venue (sort of like old Silk City) but knowing how important all ages shows are to the Philadelphia area - they are going to open it up to us for some smaller all ages shows. Located in the Fishtown section of the city - only a block away from Johnny Brendas (which means its only two blocks away from the Girard El stop!)

Usually shows will take place from 7 to 10:30ish. The details are still being ironed out but look for some all ages (and 21+) shows in early 2008.

For now you can be friends with the "New Barbary" on myspace and attend their grand opening this Thursday Nov 15th with a slew of DJs and special guests.
