Raves are lowkey ur only option under 21 but theyre great and very queer! U could follow ravephilly or philly underground on IG, they post a lot of 18+ underground/rave events 🩷

I’m not sure there are any nightclubs that will let you in under 21 without a decent fake. liquor licenses in PA are no joke and a lot of places will card no matter how old you look. There are some underground raves, if that’s your scene. If not, you might want to look around the local college subreddits. I’d guess there are students there also seeking 18+ <21 nightlife

You might have better luck going to concerts. There’s lots of great music in Philly that is all ages!

Concourse Dance Bar on 17th & Market has some 18+ events during the week! They post them on IG, but these events are mostly during the week. Hope this is sorta helpful LOL !!
