Stay away from 1201race for a while
Some disgruntled monger who didn't have a good time - sounds like he may have made a phone call or two in retribution.

"total rip-off, not a gfe, a crack head who is not the girl in the pics..stay far away...but do not worry they will get thiers very soon"
Just a heads up - head elsewhere for a while
Check out the City Paper or Philadelphia Weekly...
[QUOTE=T Man]...
Can someone help me out? I've had some great experiences at DaDaDa in the past (free beer was a plus) and would love to have a similar experience. Are all the good spots around Race street....any opinions?
T-Man[/QUOTE]I don't know about the free beer at any of the places but pick up either of the above local, free (on most any street corner) rags. The back pages will list several establishments from which to select. A number are in the downtown area within an extended walkable distance (parking can sometimes be a challenge). Use a mapping program to mark and printout locations. Take a stroll through the city, map in hand, as you check out the places. Have a beer at one of the legit bars. Sorry, I'm starting to sound like a Philly Welcome Wagon or Chamber of Commerce ad.
Be a smart shopper, ask for a line-up, if desired, be prepared to walk if not content with the selection, etc. Rates (house fee, tips) are standard for AMPs
Last year's Black Wednesday event is probably the biggest factor in the lack of spa reporting, IMHO. However, they are out there.
Good Luck!
