Boxers PHL

Underground bars and nightclubs once designated as queer spaces have become mainstream cool — and not just in the Boxers or during Bar Month. The venue has three floors of entertainment: a sports bar downstairs complete with pool tables, an upstairs dance club, and a bar with a rotating cast of performers and a year-round roof deck.

Camac Street, Philadelphia, PA. Opened after World War II, it was previously a lesbian bar, a drag cluba restaurant and a private after-hours club.

Broad Street, Philadelphia, PA. Where: Knock, S. WNBA gay play on the televisions, friends linger over martinis, and DJs bump sapphic and disco hits late into the night. TMoms has been a queer-owned business for more than two decades. The bottom floor currently closed for renovations is a restaurant, but the second floor is a chill piano bar with karaoke.

But not your average karaoke: Think everything from classic Broadway showtunes to throwback pop hits performed by some seriously talented performers. And the pianists — incredible phillies themselves — put on a great show. The top floor is the club, Ascend. The music varies depending on the day, and they have some of the strongest drinks in the city.

Pro tip: Sundays are for showtunes at Ascend, too. Where: Tavern on Camac, S. U Bar leaves the partying, dancing and events to its sibling spot, Tavern on Camac above.

Free live music, the longest-running weekly drag show, karaoke and Citywides aka a shot of Jim Beam and a Pabst Blue Ribbon bring people from all walks of life to this bar, making it a quintessential Philadelphia experience. Philly Drag Mafia shows are a hit here, too.
