Dear reader, Little…read moreGay Pub was quite easily one of our favourite spots in Philly. We went with a group two nights in a row, and everyone had such a great time both nights, which I think says rather a lot. It is not every place that earns an immediate return visit, let alone the very next evening. The music was good, the drinks were great, and the staff was super nice and friendly the entire time, which made the whole experience even better. The place was also really clean, and it never felt too crowded, which was especially appreciated with a group. There was room to actually enjoy ourselves without feeling packed in or shouted over. The rooftop was absolutely the crowd favourite and was so nice with the great weather. It really gave the whole place an extra bit of charm and made it very easy to settle in and stay a while. The location is also excellent, which made it a very convenient spot to come back to. Overall, this place delivered a thoroughly fun time, good drinks, and a very easy atmosphere to enjoy. We would absolutely go back and would happily recommend it.

I understand safety first but I would have liked to seen more. The bartender was friendly and took my likes and offered me a drink to match them. They did a great job - something sweet with cherries, vodka and a touch of Smokey tequila. Upon hearing it was my friends birthday and us willing to try suggestions made based on our likes the bartender gave us drinks on the house. So amazing!! Great place, amazing staff and yummy drinks. Can't go wrong with that combo.

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.

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.

We were given an opportunity to partake a brunch or lunch. We chose the later. It was ridiculously inexpensive: tomato soup and gooey grilled cheese sandwich for 9USD and Chicken Shawarma for 11USD. I know, right? Draft beers cost about 6USD, so, of course we had to stay for 2 each! Bartender was attentive and never lost his cool when the place got packed. U Bar earns 4 stars!

A recent Philadelphia Inquirer article has definitely upped the popularity of this lowkey spot, so be prepared for a full house on the weekends. The space is small but mighty, adorned with local art and lots of fun quirky decorations. The bartenders are friendly and efficient, but remember to bring cash as this spot is cash only. A true no-frills spot. There's lot of seating, on a week night you'll have no problem grabbing a seat at the bar or a booth, but on the weekends they are packed open to close.

The music is loud enough that you don't hear what someone at the next table over is saying, but not so loud that you can't hear your date talking. For me, the drinks on the menu are all a bit too sweet, so if you ask the bartenders to make you any kind of classic cocktail, they've got you covered. My martini with a twist was perfectly made, and the glass chilled down with ice and water before a drop of booze hit my glass. Our bartender was a master of his craft. We had a blast sitting around, having drinks, and chatting back and forth. Give this place a shot, it's adorable.
