Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Gayborhood bar with a sports-bar downstairs and drag+dance floor above.
254 is a multi-level gay sports bar and nightclub at 254 South 12th Street in the Gayborhood — the address it now takes its name from. It opened in late 2024 under new owners Stephen Carlino and Randal Mrazik in the space that had run for years as Tabu Lounge & Sports Bar, leaning harder into food and full-building programming. Game-day screens and a casual menu anchor the lower level, while the upper floors stack a drag and cabaret stage, a music-video dance floor, and a rooftop deck. That spread is the point: you can catch a game, a burlesque set, drag, karaoke, or a themed dance party without leaving the building, and most nights run no cover. It pulls a mixed crowd of sports fans and night-out partiers, and its spot on 12th puts it steps from the rest of the Gayborhood's bars. A solid all-in-one if you want options under one roof.
