<p>Tonight is a very special milestone in the history of the Bike Stop; after almost 30 years of service, Terry will be going on a new adventure- Retirement!<br />
Terry has worked at the bar since 1982, months after Ron Lord originally opened. It&#8217;s a melancholy night for staff and friends- Terry is an institution here at the bar and a lot of us, myself included, had our first drink poured by him. You can bet we&#8217;ll be asking him for one more cocktail before the night is through. </p>
<p>He&#8217;s served through three owners and countless milestones in the fight for LGBT equality and now he gets to take a break and enjoy himself. </p>
<p>Thank you for your service, Terry&#8230;. now go have FUN. </p>

We&#8217;ll be opening the main bar at 4pm with REN and his Molotov Cocktail Lounge.<br />
AJ will have the Sports Bar covered from 7pm on.<br />
The dynamic duo of Rick and Terry will be in the main bar after Ren bids adieu, with Rick &#038; Harley covering the Pit Stop, Philly&#8217;s darkest cruise bar from 10pm on.<br />
Topping it (here&#8217;s usually where I&#8217;d make a bottom joke) at the Dance Floor will be Mike, with a DJ spinning music to shake your booty to.</p>
<p>All this comes at NO COVER with a champagne toast at Midnight!</p>
<p>Come join us for a Happy New Year!</p>
