Johnny Brenda's

Where To Gossip In Philly, According To Kelsey McKinney - Philadelphia - The Infatuation

"I think that a really underrated place to gossip is at a concert, which sounds crazy. There's a lot of downtime at concerts. You get there a little bit before it starts and you're just standing. And then in between acts, you're still just standing, and there's nothing better to do than to gab. Johnny Brenda's is small—they have a lot of punk and DIY shows. I saw Speedy Ortiz there. You can huddle together, and it's just fun to be in a group of people that are like, 'Who are you? What are you doing? What's your secret?'" - brennan carley
