About this place The Venture Inn

The Venture Inn is the neighbourhood gay bar on Camac Street — Philadelphia's Little Street of Clubs — and represents the quieter, more residential face of the Gayborhood that exists alongside the larger nightlife venues. The bar is small, friendly, and exactly what a neighbourhood bar should be: a place where the staff knows the regulars, the drinks are cold and reasonably priced, and the atmosphere is more conversation than performance. Camac Street's particular character — narrow, historically significant, and running behind the 13th Street main drag — gives The Venture Inn a quality of being slightly hidden from the tourist circuit, which is part of its appeal to long-time residents of the Gayborhood. Darts, a pool table, and a jukebox are the entertainment; the real draw is the community of regulars who give the bar its character. For visitors who want to experience the Gayborhood's residential community rather than its nightlife economy, an afternoon or early evening at The Venture Inn offers a different and equally authentic perspective on the neighbourhood.

Got the black diamond steak salad. Steak was cooked perfect and ingredients were fresh. Also enjoyed the pretzel and beer cheese appetizer!!

Great place to eat. Had a burger and fries, others had the fish n fries. Burger was very large, delicious, juicy, and fresh. Fries were like I make at home, although not sure what oil they used, no allergies so didn't ask, very good though just the same. Service was attentive and checked on us several times during the meal. I would certainly eat there again.
