Stir Lounge

I went here last night after reading really amazing reviews. I’m not exaggerating when I say that every positive thing in those reviews LITERALLY happened. When you walk in, you are immediately greeted warmly by the bartenders. By yourself? Trying to meet new people? Not a problem! The bartenders and owner go out of their way to make you feel welcome and easily get complete strangers to have pleasant, memorable conversations. I felt that I was outgrowing other gay bars in the city and I’m glad that this bar has a more professional crowd of people and a platonic safe-space vibe as opposed to other gay bars have the tendency to be a little more quid pro quo. Oh, and the drinks are really good. I had a couple of the stir cosmos and they were tasty as hell but you will definitely feel it when ya stand up! No complaints! I can’t wait to go back!

Super cute gay bar! The owner Stacy and Chase the bartender were so sweet to us. We make a point to come here every time were in town now. Highly recommend!

Interesting place cool people I stopped in because it was not far from my hotel It was RuPaul night. Good atmosphere.the drinks was flowing and the staff was magnificent!!!!

Wife and I had a blast at Stir. Met Terry and he was an amazing mixologist. Made a fantastic Manhattan and even substituted the bourbon of my choice. Manhattan was perfect. Place was fun with a great diverse crowd. Can’t wait to return. Thanks Stir bar and Terry.

Amelia was such a good bartender! she had great music playing and made us a special “fall themed cocktail” we requested and it was DELISHHHHHHH! she was super friendly and so welcoming, it felt like we have been patrons for years. love love love. definitely recommend!

The friendliest bartenders when compared to the other LGBT spots in Philly! They also say hi and make you feel welcome (even if youve never been here before). Drinks are strong. The atmosphere is usually relaxed. Definitely stop by!

I brought a group of 50 people to Stir Lounge for an event. Just WOW. We had an amazing time. The owner and bartenders were super accommodating, very friendly, and the atmosphere was perfect. The owner even allowed us to bring our own DJ, order food, and gave us great drink specials. I would highly recommend!!

This bar is amazing, the staff is amazing, everything is just amazing. They are all so accommodating, attentive, and always making sure you’re taking care of. Both of our bartenders outstanding (especially Amelia!) The owner always goes out of her way to make sure everyone is having a good time. I can’t wait to go back :) Stir is STELLAR

As a frequent solo stranded traveler I often look for that perfect place to go to after a long day of work and that would provide the solace needed when youre alone, tired and want to gay-fy your day without the hustle and bustle of a noisy gay bar. Stir was the perfect find, and Terry was the perfect, loveliest bartender to make my afternoon at Stir one of the happiest I had in this rather stressful trip and in general in quite a long time. Happy clientèle (including a canine client!), wonderful atmosphere, great drinks, and on screen - Anime about Sumo wrestling, who could ask for more! THANK YOU! ❤️

Atmosphere was 10/10. Bartender Emilia (hope I spelled that right I was a bit lit lol) was 100/10. So much fun. I swear I’d take a greyhound two hours both ways from jc just to visit this place. Lol I loved it.

Came to Philadelphia for the first time this weekend and had a truly phenomenal time at Stir Lounge. Phenomenal staff and bartenders, great drinks and a wonderful atmosphere. Can’t wait to come again next time I’m in town!

The owner Stacey went out of her way to have the bartender make a drink for me NOT on the menu.
