Boxers gay bar philly

Local gay bar closed its doors

The transfer relies on a hearing, not yet scheduled, in front of the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board. Until a definite decision is made or the bar is sold, employees are in limbo, wondering about income that was, only a few weeks ago, stable. Members of the community, including Charlie Gill, organized a fundraiser via GoFundMe called Boxers PHL Staff Virtual Tip Jar, asking folks to donate a couple of dollars to help out-of-work staff take care of their day to day costs of living.

Their efforts lately to diversify their staff and their programming has given Boxers PHL a distinctly Philly flavor that sets them apart from their former New York pedigree and makes them uniquely ours. Gill also organized a Boxers employee benefit event which took place earlier this month. Drag veterans Iris Spectre and Vinchelle hosted the event, which included performances, food and bartending staff.
