About this place 254

254 is a gay bar at 254 South 12th Street in the Gayborhood. The building was iCandy until 2018, then Tabu, and has traded as 254 since October 2024. It has three floors: a sports bar, a drag and dance floor, and a roof deck. Trivia, karaoke, cabaret and a free weekly burlesque night on Wednesdays fill the calendar. Google lists it open daily from 16:00 (earlier at weekends) until 02:00. Reviews are mixed (3.7 from about 320), with service the usual complaint. It's in the middle of the 12th and 13th Street cluster, so it's an easy stop on a bar crawl.

Love this "sports" bar plenty of TVs to watch. Plus live band karaoke, dragqueens, events, APA pool league and seeing so much representation of the community.

My favorite bar in Philly! I love the choose-your-own-adventure setup, as every floor has a different vibe and theres always something fun going on! I came to karaoke for my birthday and had a fantastic time. Every time I’m out in Philly I seem to end up here. Great food, even better drinks, and just a great place to hangout overall.
