It’s been a while since a new queer bar has opened in Philly’s iconic Gayborhood. But that changes today. The Little Gay Pub, located at 102 South 13th Lane on the corner of Drury Avenue, is an elevated bar from Washington D.C. The three friends behind the venture — co-owners Benjamin Gander, Dusty Martinez, and Dito Sevilla — just announced they’ll be opening their Philly location with a few local twists added to the decor and menu.
Among them, a designed banana daiquiri. The drink nods to “The Father of Modern Philadelphia,” Edmund Bacon, who had a thing for the rum-based cocktail. O
At the centre of Philadelphia’s LGBTQ+ scene is, of course, its Gayborhood, an enclave in Center City Philadelphia that’s home to same-sex attracted bars, clubs and more.

Whatever your vibe, scan on for the best gay bars in Philly.
