The Post

Tavern on Camac
243 S Camac St
19107-5609
Tel: (215) 545-0900
Cross Streets: Between Locust Street and Spruce Street
Tucked away on quiet Camac Street is one of the city's oldest gay bars. With the piano manned every evening of the week, the Tavern always offers plenty of show tunes, cocktails, merry conversation and gay banter. On Friday and Saturday nights, a crowd of men sings along with the pianist and an occasional amateur chanteuse. For those not in the mood for Broadway sing-alongs, a second-floor bar offers alternative entertainment, from drag cabaret to disco dancing with go-go boys. The Tavern regular is typically older and more sophisticated than your average gay joe in Center City, as evidenced by the equal number of martini glasses and beer bottles on the bar. But no matter who you are or what you drink, if you enjoy this kind of music, pull a chair up to the piano, make a request and hum your way through the evening.

Philly’s favorite neighborhood gay bar in the heart of the Gayborhood. This is the bar where gay men sit and watch the world go buy with windows that open onto the street in warm weather.

A "Pittsburgh institution," acclaimed by many. Dark wood, loud music, cruisy bar dead center. Some things never change, like this 40-year-old neighborhood bar situated between two universities. This friendly spot attracts men of a certain age, probably because there's no dancing here, except for Wednesdays and Saturdays when topless go-go boys add much to their gyrations. Great drink specials and all-you-can-eat buffet on Tuesdays and Sundays. A quieter room in the back has a pool table and another bar.
