Published on January 30, 2026


Philly’s art and nightlife scenes are colliding in a bold, immersive way this winter as the Philly Sake Club hosts a sake tasting mixer inside the Philadelphia Erotic Gallery. Taking place February 11, from 6:00 to 9:00 PM at 706 South Street, the one-night-only event invites guests to explore art, history, and curated sake “in an unapologetically sex-positive setting.”

Presented by Philly Sake Club and led by founder Jacob Trinh, the mixer is designed as a relaxed, social tasting experience that encourages conversation, curiosity, and connection. Guests will have the opportunity to sample a selection of sake curated by the Philly Sake Club while mingling throughout the gallery and museum spaces.

Admission includes complimentary sake tastings, full access to the Philadelphia Erotic Gallery and Sex Museum, and a take-home PEG goodie bag. Attendees will also have the chance to meet featured artist Lexi Wellech-Papillon, whose work reflects the gallery’s commitment to highlighting diverse, sex-positive, and LGBTQ+ voices in Philadelphia’s art community.

“For art lovers and sake drinkers, this event explores sex-positive LGBTQ+ artwork across Philadelphia,” said Trinh. “The museum offers insight into the city’s past, including a large map showing where brothels once operated throughout Philly. Enjoying that history while sipping sake with new friends makes for a truly unique experience.”

The Philadelphia Erotic Gallery and Sex Museum describes its mission as shining a light on the history of sex, gender, and erotica in the city, celebrating what it calls “the hot, sexy, and sometimes strange side of Philly and beyond.” This collaboration adds a cultural and educational layer to PEG’s programming while giving sake lovers a new way to experience the space.

The Philly Sake Club mixer is a 21+ event and is expected to draw a curious crowd of art enthusiasts, sake fans, and those looking for a night out that’s a little outside the box. Tickets include all tastings and museum access during the event window.

For those interested in exploring Philadelphia’s history through a sex-positive lens—cocktail in hand—this sake-fueled gallery night promises to be anything but ordinary. Tickets are available at philadelphiaeroticgallery.com/shop/
