I visited 254 while in Philadelphia with a group of friends, and it was a blast! This multi-level gay bar has something for everyone—whether you’re in the mood to dance, sing karaoke, shoot pool, or catch a drag show. We went on a Saturday night and started off playing pool before settling in for the drag show upstairs. The highlight was a RuPaul’s Drag Race-style lip sync battle that brought great energy and had the whole crowd cheering. It was fun, welcoming, and definitely a memorable night out. If you’re looking for a lively LGBTQ spot with variety, 254 is worth checking out.

I had an amazing experience and time last night at tabu lounge. I went there with a group of friends and we watched the drag show performance which was amazing also the bartender on the second floor was super helpful, sweet, kind, and caring too. He looked out for me and had my best interest to heart. The bartender on the second floor that was working there last night provided exceptional customer service and i really appreciated that as well. The drag queens that performed last night was amazing as well. Super thanks to the whole staff by provided an amazing and wonderful experience for me and my friends.

Shout-out to the cute bartender who tried to kill me and my friend, your drinks were THE BOMB! Excellent service, clean bar, intimate vibe, incredible food, and friendly/attentive staff. They are definitely slept on and it's a shame because this place is A GEM and well worth the drive and biggest bang for your buck! I drove 37 minutes just to come so I 20/10 recommend.

Great space with great staff! Reggie and the whole security team were so nice and welcoming along with all the bartenders. I was visiting from out of town and was told to go here and it didn't let me down. I will definitely be back!

Came for the drag brunch and had a really great time. We ordered the chicken and waffles which actually surprised me. The waffles were really good, the batter tasted sweet and went well with the chicken and syrup. I had 2 mimosas that were really good. I forget the other drinks ordered at the table but I do remember it being good and strong. The energy was great. Performance great and fun.
