About this place Val's Lesbian Bar

Val's opened in March 2026 at 605 South 3rd Street in Queen Village, giving Philadelphia its first dedicated lesbian bar since Toasted Walnut closed in 2021. It's a cocktail-and-community spot built for queer women, trans and nonbinary folks, and friends — approachable drinks, a small kitchen, and a calendar that leans into DJ nights, trivia, and pop-ups rather than a big club floor. Its arrival was widely covered as a milestone for a lesbian scene that had gone years without a permanent home. Queen Village puts it a short walk from South Street's bars and an easy trip from the Gayborhood, and the room fills fastest on weekend evenings and event nights.

Loved Val’s. Reminds me of the old days where everyone is accepted and movement happens. I went to school in the area. Will definitely go back

I LOVE Val’s and I love lesbians! The drinks are amazing and the vibes are fantastic. I love that there is a bar area, a dining area, and an upstairs area for dancing and music.

Wonderful humans dreaming their dream to share with you. Go here and be yourself. At the friendly bar, at a cushy booth, on the steamy patio, groovin on the second floor dance floor, shooting pool cool as a cucumber. Speaking of which, the carrot juice cucumber gin cocktail is a wonderfully vegetal sip. And drafts are very reasonably priced. Do tip well, and not just because they're cute as hell.

Maybe it's because I went an hour before closing or wasn't done up enough but the security lady and bartender were not welcoming at all
