Generally on weekends when the upper floors are busy, the Tavern room is the only spot for food. Rumor has it, the space once connected to the Underground Railroad. The lowest ground/below ground level features the Tavern and is generally the quietest / most intimate space featuring food and drinks at the bar or in the dining room 6 nights a week.
Known for many years as Maxine’s, the staff indicates it has been a piano bar since 1935! The modern version is a 3 story venue featuring a splendid mix of everything –great food (small plates, full entrées), a piano bar 7 nights a week with fabulous local entertainers and a small dance floor and bar on the upper floor (3rd level).
Nestled on historic Camac Street in Center City, the Tavern in Camac (TOC) is considered to be one of the oldest gay bars in Philadelphia.
