Philly’s winter is getting a retro-alpine twist as Philly Ski Club, an immersive monthlong pop-up from Imbue Hospitality, takes over the event spaces beneath the Divine Lorraine starting January 9. Inspired by vintage aprés-ski culture and European ski lodges, this free-to-enter experience promises cozy clubhouse vibes, specialty cocktails, live music, dancing, and interactive surprises every weekend through February 1.
Located at 699 N. Broad Street, inside
@foundationphl , the transformation includes multiple themed spaces: a Main Clubhouse filled with DJs and live jazz, a playful Activities area with installations and games, and a rotating speakeasy that switches concepts each night—Secret Tiny Disco on Fridays and Listening Lounge on Saturdays.
