The Newsroom Philly

The Newsroom Philly is an immersive Japanese fusion speakeasy lounge hidden behind a realistic Diet 7Up novelty vending machine door. Guests enter through cherry blossom floral walkways to enjoy seasonal decor alongside specialty cocktails like lychee martinis, sushi, bao buns, and grilled entrees like lamb chops.

Commenters share polarized opinions about the venue, with several guests praising the delicious food, creative drinks, and realistic vending machine entrance. On the other hand, many criticize the steep prices—noting cocktails can run around $30—while others strongly disliked the experience and doubted positive creator reviews.
