12th Air Command   

For years, 12th Air Command has provided the gay men (and occasionally women) of Philly with a one-stop shop for all of their nightlife needs. The large, three-floor space includes a lounge, karaoke bar and cafe on the first floor; pool, disco bar and dance floor on the second; and arcade games, an indoor granite bar and an outdoor deck on the third. It keeps things fresh with its rotating nights of entertainment and famously hot bartenders. Situated smack in the middle of the so-called "gayborhood," 12th Air Command knows what its clientele likes, and that includes weekly karaoke nights (Tuesdays), a drag show on Thursdays, a huge Saturday college party for the 17-and-over crowd and an '80s theme party on Sundays. Whether you're looking for a flavor of the week, month or lifetime, you'll be sure to find it here. Just head up to the outdoor deck on the third floor if you need to steal some time away.
