In Short
Tucked away on quiet Camac Street is one of the city's oldest gay bars. With the piano manned every evening of the week, the Tavern always offers plenty of show tunes, cocktails, merry conversation and gay banter. On Friday and Saturday nights, a crowd of men sings along with the pianist and an occasional amateur chanteuse. For those not in the mood for Broadway sing-alongs, a second-floor bar offers alternative entertainment.

Visited this bar during the thanksgiving holiday and after being highly recommended, decided to check it out. Having a little buzz already I thought my friends and I could go dancing at Tavern. The dance floor was empty to our surprise but we were resolute to have fun anyway. One of my friends stands on the platform that people usually dance on and is chastised by the bartender. We stayed about another five minutes and decided to go, I was very disapointed but plan to go back.

If you are in the mood for a gin & tonic and some crooning try the Tavern on Camac for the piano bar. It's a long standing neighborhood bar that gets at friendly crowd of regulars. Mostly gay, but everyone is welcome.

I like Tavern. I like the piano bar. Friendly, cozy and crowded. Not too many lower degenerate types like the short older guy in a baseball cap who rides around in a rented LIMO or something, and brings his druggie hustler and straight boy toys to the bars.

Know Before You Go:
The Tavern regular is typically older and more sophisticated than your average gay joe in Center City, as evidenced by the equal number of martini glasses and beer bottles on the bar.
