It's cute!

It's a cute spot. I went on Tuesday, July 6, at 7:00 PM. There were middle-age guys there and some older guys. I had chicken fingers and fries. They were good. I like this spot. I like the atmosphere. The atmosphere is "down-to-earth"

Great Quite Place

I always enjoy going to the Venture Inn, and I have now for a good number of years. Why? The food is always good, I never have to worry about what I order or more important what I recommend to others. The menu is prised fairly, waiters attentive, and the atmosphere is just what I said Quite and relaxing. I highly recommend the place.

Great, Fun, Friendly ... the BEST !

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.

Great Fun Place

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.
