What makes Stir Lounge special

Stir Lounge is on Chancellor Street, a narrow side street between Walnut and Locust Street near Rittenhouse Square, and so a little away from the Gayborhood. It’s a small, relaxed lounge where people meet for an after-work drink.

From Tuesday to Sunday there’s happy hour from 5 to 7 pm, and on Thursdays at „Stirsday“ especially cheap well drinks and later a DJ. During the week there are also watch parties and mixers. Beer and wine are also available to take away.

Atmosphere and crowd

The crowd is mixed, all genders, mostly from the neighbourhood. The mood is quiet and friendly, more lounge than party.
