No matter who you are, you are welcome at Tabu. The concept of Tabu was created out of a need to have a true sports?bar that caters to the the diverse and dynamic crowd that makes up the? Gayborhood as part of Washington Square West. Tabu Lounge and Sports ?Bar was envisioned to be not just another business on 12th Street, but ?a part of the community that gives back in ways that ?others only think about. In December 2012 (after just two and a half years of being open), we held our 200th ?fundraiser in support of local non-profit organizations. We also provide significant ?support and assistance to several of the largest non-profit? organizations in the community such as Mazzoni Health Center, William Way Community Center, Philadelphia Gay Black Pride, and Equality Now! Within our first few weeks of opening, Tabu has come to be known as? one of the best venues for performance art in the community. We host weekly drag ?shows, burlesque shows, comedy shows, variety shows, singing compeitions, dance parties, drag brunch ?and musical acts. Over the last few years, Tabu Lounge and Sports Bar? and its sports teams, performers, and staff have received more ?awards / trophies / acknowledgements than any other bar in the community? including, but not limited to, Best Gay Bar, Best Bar for Beer, Best Sports Bar, Best Bartender, Champion of the C Competitive Division of the City? of Brotherly Love Softball League Division “C” 2012 and 2013 and Third?place at the Gay Sof
