Bike Stop - Gay bar in Philadelphia - 206 Quince St, USA

No food but don't want them to be poorly rated. Just a leather themed adult gay bar with good music and a "heavy atmosphere" not for everyone. It was fun. Think Al Pacino in "Cruising" Was like Phillys version of NYCs Eagle. Def not a place for families or kids.

The most authentic gay bar in Philadelphia. if you are a member or Ally of the lgbtq+ community you are family here. It’s one of the oldest spaces held for lgbtq+ folx in town rich with history and it has a rock n roll dive bar vibe with friendly patrons. The root beer on tap is divine.

I used to go there for Star Trek night in the late 90s. I used to go to Happy Hour there on Friday nights in the early 2000s when they'd show old 1950s and 1960s science fiction movies. There used to be a traveling buffet back then. They'd often give out Jell-O shots on Saturday nights. They had a store in the basement. They had a disco on the 3rd floor. My fave bartender was Rick on the 1st floor. I heard it's different now, and I guess it would be. Anyone else remember the late 90s-early 2000s?

Probably the best bar in town but has much unrealized potential… there’s two floors above the main floor that they only open for special events, meanwhile on some regular weekends the bottom and main floors are fully packed to capacity. Drinks are average priced. Crowd is usually very friendly and fun. The WiFi never works

As of June 12, 2023 someone had stolen the sign for Pride, so it’s unmarked! 🍺🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ This is what the entrance looks like:

Great spot... eclectic crowd, free to be ones self. Strong drinks and was excited to find the basement that we didn't know about at first. My bf lost his phone and we went back, found it and they had even charged it up. We will be going back next time in Philly.

Bike Stop is a unique place that has a lot to offer. Staff has always been nice even though I don't tend the present the way a lot of other patrons do. Would love to see more people be inclusive of femme presenting folks. Overall if you think it's a place you might enjoy give it a try or two. There's different events and themes that even if one doesn't suit you another might.

Very chill good vibes lots of men in various states of undress 10/10 going again
