"Philly’s oldest leather bar is a non-negotiable on the march route. There’s something for everyone, with four different floors where you can enjoy sports, dancing, or a chill place to hang out and chat. One of Philly’s oldest gay bars, celebrating 40 years this year, Bike Stop is the perfect haunt to pop in for a game of pool or a cold beer once the march heads into the Gayborhood." - Nick DeSimone

Unfortunate... haven't been here in years, used to be a great time. No longer... bar is in terrible shape now, building smells like urine (probably from the puddles of it in the bathrooms). Bartenders are fine, if a bit rude. Security guy was VERY aggressive and rude, especially to people in the basement - discouraging "fun" when it's not allowed is one thing, starting screaming arguments with customers, leering, and being overall condescending is another. Past the glory days for sure.

I for one, LOVE the shitty run down look. I hate brightly lit beautiful places. It's a bit reminiscent of little old dive bars I've been to. Ugly is beautiful.

Great old fashioned Tom of Finland style bar embodying masculinity and all the good stuff like that. Great place for gay men, which is the general crowd. If you want a more bachelorette style or femme bar, try woodies or tavern

Very odd staff and bizarre rigid rules that are a headache to deal with. The bartenders are miserable control freaks. It smells like halitosis. Stay away from this bar.

Not safe for women I got assaulted during happy hour. A man spit in my face . The older bar tender a woman around 50 years old, who is Miss Philadelphia 2016 leather did nothing to stop it. The bar is known not to welcome women. They never banned the regular who assaulted me. You need to be aware of their one sided rules and just be safe. Protect your siblings.

The Bike Stop was my home bar away from home before the pandemic. I haven't been able to visit in a while but the changes that have been made to the space really took away from the atmosphere that I loved and returned for. Sadly I'm not sure it's a destination spot for me anymore as it's charm and it's life appear to be on a decline.

The gentlemen in there were amazing and great on the tools. Definitely a bike store you want to go to for any maintenance or fixes.

Amazing place to be. Very free, spirited, and open to those who seek a great time.
