Beyond the Bell Tours brings back LGBTQ History On-Tap to Honor Philly Outfest Weekend and National Coming Out Day!

outfest philadelphia

The LGBTQ Owned Tour Company has planned a Gayborhood Bar Crawl for all who seek community in the absence of the traditional Philadelphia Outfest. A pay-what-you-wish option allows for increased community access–a big priority for the top-rated, philly-area tour company.

Started in 2018, the Caroline LeCount Fund was created to allow for Beyond the Bell Tours to throw Pay What You Wish Events and have a “No Turn Away Policy” to make sure our history remained public history. During the pandemic, these events were put on hold, but this Outfest weekend, they are back. 

Picture your typical, touristy Philaldelphia walking tour and then replace that picture with fun LGBTQ History, local Culture, and untold stories of the gay underground. Beyond the Bell prides itself in offering relatively, un-known local LGBTQ history as well as giving it to you straight on local LGBTQ culture. Local legends like Gloria Cesarez are highlighted on the tour alongside international LGBTQ heroes.

The Gayborhood bar crawl will commence at Stir Lounge, a Philly Gayborhood community staple and will feature drink specials along with LGBTQ History–as told by actual queer folk. The lounge itself has it’s own history which you’ll learn about on the tour. Other local, queer-friendly bars are expected to be added to the list. 

If you’re looking for a safe alternative to those scary “dry” events this Fall, join Beyond the Bell Tour’s Gayborhood Bar Crawl on October 8th from 7-10PM!

Why get tickets to bar-hop?

We’re not just “bar-hopping” we’re Gay bar-hopping. If you know, you know.

“Pay-What-You-Wish” ticketing means you literally pay what you wish! BTB has a commitment to making their tours accessible to all when possible. 

Drink Specials at local, LGBTQ-friendly bars ONLY available to our Bar Crawl ticket holders

LGBTQ History.

We’re doing away with all that patriarchal-ridden bull— and replacing it with fun, LGBTQ History, local Culture, and secrets of the gay underground. Yeah, it’s that deep.

Adorable Tour Guides.

It’s not about the tour. It’s about the guide. And ours are cute, knowledgeable, and usually on-time for the tour. 

You’re Supporting LGBTQ Small Business! Beyond the Bell Tours is 100% owned by Queer Folk so you can trust you’re getting the ultimate queer experience while investing in our community.

Meet us at STIR Lounge located at 1705 Chancellor St., Philadelphia, PA  on October 8th @ 7PM!
