Venture Inn

Great food, Fun crowd, Friendly staff ... no wonder it was voted Best Gay & Lesbian Bar in Philadelphia & received the Rainbow award for best bar & best bartender. Venture Inn IS the BEST ! I'm glad so many people share my opinion.

I'm new to the Philly area as well as a new patron to the Venture Inn and it's a great place to relax and feel welcome. I have been all over Europe and a former Washingtonian of many years and the Venture Inn's ambience combined with the awesome bartenders presents that old world charm of feeling like a true guest. This was my first time visiting the Inn and I will be back every week on my trip to the city. I feel this place is certianly on the road to sucess, and I truly know this because I've been in the restaurant and bar business for many years. They have the attitude it takes to succeed and succeed well. Im from Altoona, PA and will be a permanent resident this spring. I recommend making this your place of relaxation and fun times. The bartenders Steven and Tommy are sooooo much fun.

Yeah I tried it again since the new owner took over about 2 years ago, and all I can say is that he just don't get it. The food is way over priced, (however a bit better)while the bar is simply too noisy and obnoxious with brutal language. Not a comfortable place to dine. I prefer a more respectable.

All I can say about the Venture Inn FABULOUS! The restaurant has everything you're looking for. Warm, cozy, intimate atmosphere, palatable food prepared by Chef Kevin & served by handsome, polite and eager to please servers.
