The Westbury (Closed Permanently)

(39 Ratings)
Philly's oldest gay bar
Casual neighborhood bar with a dim, smoky atmosphere. A very laid-back place for good inexpensive drinks, this bar tends to have an older crowd.

The gay sports bar with craft beers!

I hadn't been to the Westbury for a while - I've always liked it but it just wasn't on my regular route. I decided to give it a try since the Flyers were playing last night and I didn't want to watch at home alone. With 8 TVs, they're doing the sports bar thing well. And they were ALL tuned to the Flyers - major point in their favor! But the sound was off (you kinda need the commentary for hockey). Still, it was a good idea to go there. The staff couldn't be more welcoming. The beer selection on tap is awesome. I'll go back more often.

Good place for friends

I really like the new beer selection. It has more of a gay pub vibe now that it has changed hands. Crowd is late 20s on up, with most guys in their 40s. People were friendly, it gets busy on the weekends. Few to no women here when i was there.

Finally

I have been searching for a gay bar with a great beer selection. They changed hands a few months back, so if you haven't been in a while check it out again. Great beer selection and easy to talk to bartenders. Nice atmosphere overall.

New owners, great beer selection @ fantastic price

The new owner of this place is keeping what was good, getting rid of what didn't work and adding things that were much needed. There are 12 different beers on tap at any time now. You'll have some of the usual suspects BUT there is always a nice selection of micro-brews. They've reopened the kitchen after a renovation and you have GOT to try the burger! All in all, a great, friendly, nicely priced gay bar to hang in Philly! A most stop if you're visiting or if you live in Philly, come back you'll be pleasantly surprised.
