★Steven KampfThe recycled concrete parking lot out back is full of wire mesh! The park at your own risk sign isnt for vandals its for the risk of a flat tire. Stop hosting events if you dont have adequate parking, that lot is a joke!
★★★★★Joseph MadaganOutstanding venue! Among the various AAU basketball sites we've traveled to this spring while cheering for Coaching Victory (Coatesville, Pa.), the Alan Horwitz Sixth Man Center is the most impressive. What a great service to the Greater Philadelphia community by people with vision. It serves many people well. Well done!
★★★★★Larry KendrickI love this place. Great for the community great for the city. Got to meet Alan great guy...
★★★★★Rashad CampbellAMAZING space and intentional programming for Philadelphia Youths! Grateful for Alan, PYB and all the major players that bring this facility to life daily.
★★★★★Julia GreenCould not recommend this place more as a venue for an event, a meal, or simply a second home. The Sixth Man Center is one of those rare spots that just gets it. The second you walk through the doors, the energy shifts. People greet you like you’ve known them forever, the space feels alive, and everything from the food to the atmosphere hits that perfect sweet spot between welcoming and impressive. Whether you’re hosting a big celebration, grabbing a bite after a long day, or just looking for a place where you can exhale and feel like you belong, this is the place. The team makes you feel seen, supported, and celebrated, which is honestly the best part. When you walk into the Sixth Man Center, you’re not just a guest, you’re family. And trust me, you’ll want to keep coming back home. 🧡
