A small hole in the wall that was and is a safe space for those of us that needed it. Stir is not a large space, the first room has a bar located in the center with seating all around. A very short ramp to the backroom has gender neutral washrooms, some more seating and a back bar. The night I was there, it appears to be a chill space to have an intimate conversation with a friend or stranger.

BEWARE OF SHADY PRICING ON THE DRINKS! While visiting Philly we dropped in based on the good…read morereviews during what was posted on the sign outside as Happy Hour. There were two sets of couples at the bar. They all knew each other, and the bartender. I ordered a well drink as well drinks are usually best priced during HH, and chatted up the bartender for a few minutes before he went back to his buddies at the other end. I put a 20 down on the bar to let him know we were ready to pay and leave. He grabbed my 20, turned to the register and said "that'll be $20".... FOR ONE COCKTAIL DURING HAPPY HOUR? WTF??? I am quite sure I paid for his buddy's drinks... SO, be sure to ASK UP FRONT what the pricing is, and also there is a sign stating that if you leave your CC open at the bar they charge 18% extra. Better yet, go elsewhere.

If you patronize Woody's, you need to keep your phone and your crew close. It's a shame but it's the reality of whats going on in the neighborhood. The drinks are pricey but a standard gay bar pour where you really getting a double with every mixed drink and their bartenders are ALWAYS moving and trying to handle a crowded bar. Downstairs theres a large bar and on most nights a dance room on the first floor with an additional bar and bathrooms. Upstairs there are two rooms. One large dancefloor playing more pop and classics and next ot that a smaller dance floor with RNB and hip-hop.

My partner and I were recently in AC from Philadelphia for our anniversary. There aren't many…read morequeer-specific spaces in AC, but Byrdcage had great reviews as a friendly neighborhood bar/restaurant, so we tried it for dinner. It's cute, clean and quiet, with a retro-'90s-gay-bar vibe: The Birdcage playing on multiple TVs and kitschy decor throughout. The staff were friendly and accommodating...until they weren't. We know Atlantic City is an expensive tourist trap, so $18 nachos didn't shock us. We were in the mood for trashy bar food and each ordered a plate: my partner got chicken, I got beef. Before ordering, I specifically confirmed the beef was GROUND beef, not steak, and was assured it was. The nachos were fine, but my "ground beef" was very clearly pre-made hamburger patties--probably frozen--broken into pieces, not seasoned ground beef prepared for nachos. But again: bar food. We also each ordered a $12 dessert: chocolate mousse with whipped cream for him and banana custard for me. What arrived was basically chocolate and banana pudding, likely straight from an industrial can. Okay then. The real problem came with the bill: we were charged an additional $10 for the chicken and $7 for the beef, the latter appearing only as a generic line item. The menu CLEARLY says: "choice of jerk chicken, beef or seasonal veggies." It says absolutely nothing about an upcharge. Everyone understands that if a listed choice costs extra, the menu needs to SAY so. In no world am I paying $28 for nachos with chicken. I brought this to the attention of the bartender and our waiter, and the bartender actually AGREED that the menu clearly says "choice of" implying you choose which one you want on your $18 nachos. The waiter, however, was argumentative and it became very awkward. Ultimately and reluctantly the additional charges were removed, with the caveat that "next time" we visit we will know. There will not be a next time. :\

Love to find a gluten free restaurant in AC for celiacs!…read more The Byrd Cage is a gluten free kitchen (note-they do have regular/non gluten free hamburger and sandwich rolls.) The menu is a little varied-hamburgers, roast beef sandwiches, crab cakes, soups, and pasta. I had the burger which was delicious followed by the shecrab soup, and banana pudding. The shecrab was full of crab. The pudding was quite good, almost as good as Magnolia's Bakery. They're on Ubereats so I ended up having it delivered to my hotel. Highly recommend for celiacs going to AC!

It started off with the bouncers. They asked for my ID! I haven't been asked for ID in well over 20 years, so I was quite pleased to be asked for it. I produced my ID, and bopped on in there with my date. The place wasn't packed for a Friday night. A few folks at the pool table, some folks wandering about, and lots of people at the bar. We wandered downstairs where the light was red, and the bar had fewer people at the bar. We took our seats, ordered some drinks, and paid. Nice, strong drinks, and the bartender was super friendly. When we asked for glasses of water, they literally had a stack of pre-poured water for anyone who wanted it, and handed it over no questions asked. Some places try to charge you for water. Not this place! That's awesome that they're encouraging safer drinking. We had a lovely time. A troupe of ladies came in and were chatting with the bartender, while this shirtless guy was making out with some other guy on the other side of the bar. After a while, I wanted to maybe dance a little bit, and see if I couldn't find seats at the bar, as well as explore the rest of the space. Also, there was some kind of smell going on in the basement that I couldn't quite put my finger on, but it was getting in the way of my good time, so my date and I wandered up. There were a couple of seats empty at the bar! Nice. We asked politely from the guy sitting next to it if those seats were taken, and he gave us a big smile, saying "Nobody's sitting there, but thank you for asking anyway!" What an absolute sweetheart. We ordered a couple more drinks, until my date overheard the guys who welcomed us to grab those chairs talking about some horror movie they'd all just seen and were obsessed with. My guy chimed right in, and the lot of them got into a spirited enjoyable discussion about horror, music, and the various implications of those in our various POC communities, and it was such a good time. I was curious about the other two floors, as we'd now experienced the basement area and the main floor. Apparently those other floors are only open for special events, and they have a total of 4 of them. Some day I'd like to come back when the whole place is open, and have a nice wander around the space. The crowd on the night we went was on the bear-y side, but we also saw that group of queer ladies in the basement, and people of all different races and body types in the space. It was lovely to see a place where diversity is celebrated, and we felt welcome even as out of towners coming for a short visit. The people were lovely, the drinks were strong, and the staff was friendly too. Literally on the way out, as we passed the folks outside having cigarettes, we got them waving goodbye to us and asking us to come back again soon.

Absolutely miserable, when he starts his shift he will remove my beverages even if the half full, throws them away all the time and gets away with it, knows it's mine, OR will absolutely ignore me and friends at the end of the bar because he does not like us. He has been known to tell people he does not like them and refuses to serve them on that basis alone. Too many people have brought this up before to continue to endure this piss poor bartender ruining an otherwise enjoyable-as-always time at the Bike Stop.
