I've been telling everyone how much I love Writer's Block, so I thought it was time to write a here: Even though it's a cocktail bar, it has a chill non-pretentious vibe. It's small and relatively hushed, so it makes the perfect date spot, because you can actually have a conversation. Downstairs is a tiny bar, while upstairs is a lounge. As a designer, the design is always important to me. I usually judge a place on if they take the hour to make the restrooms particular, and here, they've wallpapered them in comic books! The recover of the decor is plain, and understated. Drinks: They include an extensive cocktail menu. My usual favorite is the Mymosa, but I've been branching out and recently tried the Savage Boy. The flavors are engaging and the names are entertaining too. Umm, they are adj too, so be prepared to be feeling incredible after 2 :)Food: I've never had their food, but they have a couple of options. I would probably eat first before coming here, but I think I'm going to try their deviled eggs next : They seal at 1amService: Everyone that works there seems

3. Voyeur Nightclub PRIDE BLOCK PARTY
One Sunday Every June, Woody’s main stage on 13th street at Walnut anchors this incredible PRIDE event that celebrates Philadelphia’s LGBTQIA+ Community.
OUT BLOCK PARTY
This is the day when our Community reflects, remembers, and recollects on the day when each of us was liberated and made the decision to be honest with ourselves, families, friends, teachers, and employers. October was the month of “Coming Out Day” and it is more than a day to be proud, it is a night to celebrate life, love, and give thanks to all of those brave individuals that made our movement what it is today.
PHILLY BLACK PRIDE
Philadelphias Black Gay Pride Weekend, also known as Philly Black Pride, typically takes place in April an has, for decades, coincided with Penn Relay Weekend. Its mission is to transform the living and social environments of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer (LGBTQ) people of color.
Woodys is always a proud sponsor and host of the 13th Street Jet Pride Block Party. Its always a good idea to inspect or for the most up-to-date information.
At the centre of Philadelphia’s LGBTQ+ scene is, of course, its Gayborhood, an enclave in Center City Philadelphia that’s home to gay bars, clubs and more.
Most of the fabulous venues on this list are found there, but the rest of the city is still alive with culture and nightlife, like the piano lounge for those looking to belt out a tune (or six) and a leather dungeon for chaps-clad daddies and those who love them. Whatever your vibe, read on for the best gay bars in Philly.
