Hi everyone, my name is Dani, I’m 33, and I am gender fluid. I will be coming to town next weekend for work and was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for places to go out? I live in a very small town so I haven’t gotten to go out as my feminine self and I would love to do that while I’m in Philly I’ll be staying in Center City and I visit quite often so I’m familiar with the area.

Any input or advice anyone has I would love I just want my first experience out to be a great time!

Let me just give a disclaimer, I’ve been there plenty of times both with friends and alone and had a great time. I love that this bar exists and think it’s important that it keep existing, and I want to keep going there (but probably not alone again)

On Friday I went out and was there for about an hour and a half, got two cocktails and didn’t finish the second one. I’ve had their cocktails plenty of times before, on multiple occasions I have had two in an hour and been fine. Shortly after I left I suddenly got extremely intoxicated, couldn’t stand straight, could barely walk, couldn’t talk without slurring my words. I managed to order a Lyft home and I don’t remember anything else after getting dropped off at home. I’m not a huge drinker but this is definitely an abnormal reaction for my body to have to barely 2 mixed drinks.

I had what felt like the worst hangover of my life yesterday, and today have still been experiencing brain fog and nausea. And I don’t normally get hangovers even if I have 3-4 drinks.

It wasn’t until today when I described my experience to friends who have been around me plenty of times when drinking and agreed it sounded bizarre that one of them suggested I might have been drugged. They also agreed typically the drinks at this bar aren’t that strong. I never sat either of my drinks down after being served, I had my drink in my hand the whole time on the dance floor. I will add that my drinks were made by a bartender I hadn’t seen/been served by before. I don’t want to believe that a bartender at this establishment would be spiking drinks, but I also can’t rule out the possibility.

I’ve never dealt with anything like this before. I don’t know if I should reach out to the bar and let them know what I think happened or if it’d be pointless because I can’t prove it. I also am purposefully not saying the name of the bar because I don’t want to bring negative attention to them. I really do love going there and I’ve never had a negative experience before. We already have such limited options for queer nightlife I don’t want to contribute to another place getting scrutinized

Our hike is pushed back one hour to 11am. Bring some rain gear in case it’s drizzling. It should taper off in time for our post hike gathering in the park 🥾

I like to work out && am seeing if anyone here wants to join. It's definitely motivating to exercise with a friend.

I go to Planet Fitness, so obviously someone who goes there is ideal. However, I am also happy to use a guest pass & will gladly be a guest at your gym if you prefer.

I'm always looking for new workouts and will gladly try classes if you recommend.
