My group got to Tabu late for our show so we didn't get to eat more food. But the drinks and service was great

I had an amazing experience and time last night at tabu lounge. I went there with a group of friends and we watched the drag show performance which was amazing ? also the bartender on the second floor was super helpful, sweet, kind, and caring too. He looked out for me and had my best interest to heart. The bartender on the second floor that was working there last night provided exceptional customer service and i really appreciated that as well. The drag queens that performed last night was amazing as well. Super thanks to the whole staff by provided an amazing and wonderful experience for me and my friends.

Place is really pretty bad…Won’t be going back for a while to this particular gay bar. Saturday night it really sucked, not even busy and couldn’t handle taking one order of fries. Literally the bartender had an attitude asking him after waiting a half hour already where they were. We waited another half hour at least sitting there talking and then I said the hell with it and just left without even caring after paying for them and leaving a tip already. They’re jealous, sad and pathetic people working there. The bar has gone down the toilet from when it was 12th Air Command!

Came here after Pride Festivities in the streets and it’s a huge place!! Didn’t have a cover when we went. Friendly bartenders and good service. Food is good bar food!! I had the chicken Caesar wrap and buffalo wings, which were incredibly tasty. Multiple levels with bars, karaoke all the way upstairs with some outdoor space. Will definitely be back!

Racist and insensitive.

Wow… never thought I would leave a review like this, but it is now the second time, as a person of color, that I have walked in, watched everyone else be served (all white clients, many of whom walked in after me), and then I was finally greeted and served (span of almost 25 min from seating to service). I have a couple of friends I casually mentioned this to who said they had the same experience and no longer go there. I guess I should’ve talked to my friends first.

Never again will we go here, as it is clear people of color are no longer welcome. Is this seriously Philadelphia?!

Me and a coworker went there last night.After I asked for a drink the bartender (blonde hair women) asked me to look at the menu cause they didn’t have that. I understand to look at the menu but I did not see the QR code and she said it snarky. After that she gave us both our drinks to the wrong person. We asked for fries and she asked us 3 times which ones we wanted. After 20-30 minutesNo fries were given. We then asked again she said what’s the tabWe told her she never opened a tab for us she asked us again for our tab and we told her again she didn’t open oneBut she can open one now and just add everything. She turns around and says to the other people “can you believe these people”. Then knocks down my cup by accident.We were in complete shock. We left afterwards.She was very dismissive and rude.

Host of karaoke stopped my song after first couple words and made me change song while on stage then doubled down on it after I chose a new song, I get it if I’d been singing all night but to publicly embarrass me was

Loved this three story bar in Philly’s Gayborhood! Chill vibes in floor one, great drag venue on floor two, karaoke and roof top bar on floor three
