Starting tonight, July 23rd, the ‘Stop is now carrying Maker’s Mark!
It joins Hendricks Gin, Grey Goose Vodka and Patron Tequila as part of our new liquor selection.
Available on all three floors, so come on by!
The Bike Stop has been nominated for best Gay & Lesbian Bar in Philadelphia!
We’re currently in second place (not bad!) and with your help, we can take the #1 spot!
So swing by the website, register and vote! It only takes a minute and we’d appreciate your support!
Bike Stop friend (and new logo designer) Mr. Rob Harmon is going to be showing here in Philadelphia at the Aphrodite Gallery July/August 2010, with a “meat and greet” on July 23rd from 7pm-9pm.
Aphrodite Gallery website has all the info you should need, but here’s a cut/paste for those who don’t feel like searching:
“The Aphrodite Gallery is located on the third floor of the Sexploratorium (620 South 5th Street) in the heart of the South Street business District.”
Join the DC Cowboys, the staff of The Bike Stop, and Philadelphia FIGHT to raise money for local AIDS charities. Enjoy a small performance by the DC Cowboys, rub elbows with the performers afterwards, and buy a drink from either Angela (of Philadelphia FIGHT) or Brad (from The Bike Stop) who will be behind the bar. It’s going to be EPIC. You can purchase tickets in advance for BOTH the performance at the William Way center AND the after parter either from Philadelphia FIGHT or at The Bike Stop for $10. Or, you can attend just the afterparty for a $5 donation at the door at the time of the event!
The facebook RSVP page is here: DC Cowboys @ the Bike Stop.
DC Cowboys at the Bike Stop: July 3rd 11pm- Top Floor.

Cheap Beer and Hot guys?
Much better than hot beer and cheap guys (depending on who you ask). Our friends the Philadelphians MC will be hosting a pre-Pride Parade event at the ‘Stop, Saturday June 12th from 9pm-12am. There will be beer specials in effect during their event, so come on by and support our Club Brothers. It’s a perfect way to get geared up for Sunday’s Pride Parade/events.
Robert & Shawn just returned from Chicago where they attended the 32nd International Mr. Leather event. The boys swung by the Leather Archives & Museum during contest downtime and snapped this picture featuring the Bike Stop’s own Mr. Philadelphia Leather/IML 1986 Scott Tucker.
The photo shows a hint of the painting that legendary artist Etienne did of Scott; we’re looking for a color version and will post it if we manage to find one.
Robert and Shawn were awed and touched by the Leather Archives & Museum and spent most of the afternoon there snapping pictures, reading placards and being proud to be part of the Leather tradition that is so carefully documented at the LA&M. I’ll pester them to send me more pictures and a report from this year’s IML.
EDIT: Video of Scott winning IML 1986 courtesy of the Leather Archives!
The Liberty Bears will be hosting their June Bride White Party on Saturday June 5th at the ‘Stop!
8pm-11pm on the main floor. Drink specials and furry men; what more could you ask for?
We have a full weekend coming up at the ‘Stop!
I’ll post a list of goings on tomorrow, but for now… BEARS!
Step right up!
Our Brothers the Philadelphians are hosting their infamous KINKY KARNIVAL Saturday April 17th right here at the ‘Stop!
With proceeds going to the William Way center there’s no excuse not to polish up those boots and get your butt out to support our local clubs and charities. And if that’s not enough, how about the exciting kinky midway games?
We’re asking for a $5 donation at the door (Top Floor only- the rest of the bar there will be no cover) with additional tickets for $1 each. “Rides” will include waxings by Mike da Bear, floggings by Jose and Victor, buzzcutts by Joe, and electroplay by the one and only ScottDaddy.
