The Broadberry’s location has historically been a place for music. From Much More and The Cellar Door in the 1980’s who hosted acts such as The Ramones, John Prine, and Pat Benatar to Nations and Nu and now The Broadberry, 2729 W. Broad St. is the place for special events and entertainment.
The Broadberry first introduced itself and opened their doors in April 2014 after a healthy restoration that was able to transform the venue’s “runway” setting to a stage ready setting, leaving the city’s industrial architecture, while upgrading it’s amenities and production abilities. Perfectly equipped for special events and occasions.
With a gigantic bar, kitchen that is open during all hours of operation, and a spacious stage with a state-of-the-art sound system, The Broadberry is well situated to host a variety of events. The Broadberry has a large and flexible floor plan, which can be adapted for any occasion including wedding receptions, rehearsal dinners, corporate parties, birthday parties, happy hour meetings and much more!
The Broadberry celebrated its 10th Anniversary on April 20, 2024 with a Block Party featuring The Infamous Stringdusters, No BS! Brass Band, Prabir Trio, and The Mitras.
