Situated on a quiet alley off Walnut Street, the Bike Stop is the Gayborhood’s horny, chaps-wearing older brother.
A gay landmark and prominent gay cruise bar in Philadelphia. The Bike Stop has no pretenses of any kind. This four-story venue isn’t spectacular, but it’s a lot of fun and always full.
Porn on giant screens greets customers to the gay leather bar’s punky main floor, where leather-clad males socialize in dark nooks.
Upstairs, people gather around a pool table for games and more drinks from a bar that serves beer and inexpensive cocktails.
If you’re feeling courageous, enter the basement “dungeon,” which looks just as it sounds.
On any given night in the steamy, cave-like dwelling you could see anything from whips to guys in chains to a couple (or three?) doing things out in the open that would make Erotica-era Madonna blush.
Own or work here?
