bachelorette party (philly area)

i have to admit, i'm older than your average bachelorette, and therefore i haven't got a clue as to where to go out in the philadelphia area for a bachelorette party. anyone have any ideas/suggestions?

we were considering a mexican restaurant followed by a bar/dancing (but where). nothing too crazy and especially nothing involving greasy stripper boys, lol.

[i found this (Awesome 80s Prom, Off Broadway, Bachelorette Parties, New York) which looks amazingly fun, but it's in NYC and i just don't think everyone will want that much hassle involved (limo or train, possibly a room, etc.). why can't this be in philly?]

I'm your age and I'm having a poolside party with lots of champange. My friend was 40 when she got married and we went to Vegas and had a blast. I think the limo thing would be fun.

Well I'm from NYC so not much help with the Philly area but this may help- it has reviews of clubs in the area. Philadelphia Night Clubs, Dance Clubs: 10Best Reviews

If you do end up cpming to NYC I can definately tell you where to go.

I'm kind of over the whole going out and spending money (and drinking and driving) thing- sooooo, we're having my party at my sister's (MOH) house. We're having mexican themed tapas, margarita and plenty of tequila shots and it's going to be a Passion Party- which is like a tupperware or an avon party only with sex toys instead- It should be fun!!

I'm sure wherever/whatever you do it'll be a blast b/c you'll be with your best friends! Have fun!!

if you want to do a mexican restaurant i'd suggest el vez. it's one of the steven starr restaurants and it's delish with awesome drinks! it can be pricey though. a cheaper option would be el azteca. you can byo tequila and they make a mean margarita.

my bachelorette party was in olde city. the girls went to continental for martinis and the guys went to mahogany for cigars. then we met up at lucy's hat shop (a bar, not a hat shop) on 3rd and market.

blkatz made a good call on lucky strike. it's a bar/bowling alley and is a lot of fun.. but no dancing there.

but whatever you do... don't go to mad river.. groooooooss.

are you looking to bar hop? or park it up at one place and just party? how big of a group? are you planning it or just giving suggestions??

 

 

Blkatz - i live and work in C.C. too! what neighborhood do you live in? have i asked this before? lol

We have been dying to go to Chifa - did you like it?

 

Alyssa-I loved Chifa-the food was really good and the atmosphere was fun. We ate so much food I wasn;t sure I was able to drink! Everything was super yummy.

I live in Naval Square and I work on 18th and Market
