About this place The Bike Stop

The Bike Stop is Philadelphia’s unapologetic leather bar tucked into a narrow Quince Street alley in the Gayborhood. Since 1982 it’s been the unofficial headquarters of the city’s leather scene, spread over two levels. The street‑level bar welcomes anyone who wanders in; the basement is reserved for gear swaps, jock nights and fetish parties. The crowd reads like a roll call: leathermen, bears, their admirers, and local clubs such as the Philly Phisters who hold their socials here. Google lists the doors open daily from 4 p.m. to 2 a.m., and the drinks are cheap enough to keep a night going. Some evenings have dress codes, so check the calendar first. Newcomers aren’t turned away—just ask before you touch anything.
