“interesting”

We arrived a bit too early to see the bar at its busiest, but it was still intriguing.

“If you looking for a manly man this is definitely the bar.”

It looks like a rough dive bar from the alley, but once you go inside, you see some of the hottest, manliest guys, especially with hairy chests and beards. I enjoy chatting with the rugged, country type of men. When my best friend and I go bar-hopping in the gayborhood of Center City, this is one of the best spots to finish the night.

“Fun and fetishy”

I visited Philadelphia on vacation and decided to check out the local leather bar. I went twice, once on a Tuesday and once on a Thursday. Tuesday was very quiet, with only the main bar open. The bartender was friendly, and I met one local guy who was enjoyable. Wednesday was better because it was underwear night. I went upstairs, which has a quieter, sports bar atmosphere. I never went downstairs, where more activity is supposed to happen, but there were many guys in their underwear in the main bar, which surprised me since I thought that only happened downstairs. Overall, it was a fun place, probably even more so on weekends. Give it a try if you're in Philadelphia. I think you'll enjoy it!

“Great Comfortable Bar”

The music isn't too loud so you can still have conversations, and the bartenders are nice. It's my favorite spot.
