The Little Gay Pub

The Little Gay Pub is an elevated LGBTQ+ cocktail bar in the heart of Philadelphia's historic Gayborhood, the first out-of-town outpost of the beloved DC original, opened in May 2025 to instant crowds. Richly appointed and full of personality, its ground-floor bar, fireplace, banquettes, walls of queer art and memorabilia (a mustachioed Mona Lisa, a beloved Princess Diana portrait) give way to a second bar upstairs and a flower-filled rooftop deck. The draw is the grown-up drinks: glittery, perfectly chilled craft cocktails like the Unicorn Tears, Pink Pony, and a spicy Big Gay Margarita, with local Philly Easter eggs woven throughout, plus bar snacks to soak them up. Open seven days a week and designed so you could bring your mom, it's a warm, campy, celebratory space that's quickly become one of the Gayborhood's most popular.
