They call this "Bump" because that's all you do as you try to squeeze your way through, spilling your $10 martini. It is LOUD (bad acoustics) and the bar space is tiny. Atmosphere is retro cool. Food is mediocre, allthough they do have 1/2 price Tues & Sat.

Cute place to sit down with a martini and talk to my friends while a few classy trannys run by. Fun times!

Bump's architecture is interesting. Check out the rest-rooms, which are really cool. The rest of the place is LOUD (you heard me); the service is PRETTY CRAPPY (you heard me); the various coloured drinks are OVERPRICED (you heard me); the food is MEDIOCRE (you heard me); and in essence, it FAILS to be a "mixed gay/straight" place. It succeeds in being CONFUSING, LOUD, AND BORING.

***** Attractive but bland
Redjack - 42/M - 18 reviews - Posted: March 09, 2007
This is an attractive bar with a mixed crowd of men and women, gays and straights, different ages. Bartenders tend to be straight men and women. Like most mixed lounges, it doesn't have much character of its own and emerges a bit bland, although undoubtedly it's a perfectly pleasant place to hang out for conversation with people you already know. Definitely not cruisy. More like a gay-friendly straight bar than anything else. Philly and NY may have different ideas of what's hip, but this place isn't exactly what I would call hip. The smoke is gone -- you can't smoke in Philly bars anymore, which has many bar-hoppers grumbling, as in New York.
