Jolene’s Bar and Restaurant

I had such an amazing time at Jolene’s that I was so so so disappointed to see that they charged the wrong amount on my credit card and added extra on the tip for themselves even though I remember clearly writing in a different amount. Times are tough but please don’t scam your supportive patrons :( we bought a lot of drinks so trying to pull one over us on top of that is so dishonest

As an openly queer femme, this is the best nightclub for feminine identities in the Bay Area LGBTQ+ community. The venue was such a safe space and the bartender was considerate. I danced my heart out, played pool with some friends, hyped up club dancers, received hugs from other sapphics, easily made new friends, drank a lot, and ate ramen. I genuinely enjoyed my experience. Not many LGBTQ+ nightclubs are feminine-friendly spaces. Thank you so much for existing.

Always want to show love to my queer spaces but paying $40 to get denied entry and have to stand in line with people who didn’t pay for a ticket ahead of time is absurd. Why did I pay for a ticket?? Thanks for swindling me Jolene’s, happy Pride.

We paid $14 for two lemonades and the bartender made the price on the spot which was kinda weird but that’s ok! The people were very nice and the service was overall very respectful. The dancers were amazing too! Definitely coming back but not using the bar services!

We tried to go on a Saturday night. There was a $15 cover charge that the door person failed to inform us about. Once inside the hostess that was taking payment for entry was very rude. As queer women we were excited to visit SF and the only lesbian bar in the city, but left with a stale taste in our mouths. We ended up leaving without paying the cover and do not plan to try and visit again.

Am so grateful I got to experience this place with my partner! 100% recommend if you’re looking for a safe place to connect with people and are in the LGBTQ+ community.

So I saw there’s a banger lineup party and just wanted to double check if the preference was for female identifying only?

Or if nonbinary can come too? I personally hate gay bars. Thanks!

Visited from out of town with friends and we loved the vibe here! Great service and drinks. We loved the art in the background but were disappointed by the lack of representation and diversity in the art.

Definitely skews young (20s), with louder music and flashing lights on a Thursday, but that likely says more about me… 1/2 bartenders were friendly, but I guess everyone has bad days. The one baffling thing: only 2-3 toilet stalls in the whole place (I went when it was barely half empty, can’t imagine the bathroom lines on a busy Saturday!)

A great place to meet Korean lesbians and Asian lesbians. There is a pool table, bartender and show.

Hands down one of the best bars in SF. Wishing the owner and staff a ton of success, as they're doing really great things for the LBGTQ community.

DJ ChinaG was absolutely amazing! The closing set was great , incorporating sing-along tracks and showcasing recent queer artists, which really brought the crowd together. The music was on point, with smooth transitions and an energy that never dipped. ChinaG knew how to read the room and kept everyone engaged. Highly recommended!

I’m from Dallas and was in the city for the first time. I got really good recommendations from the place, however my experience was the worst arriving at 8pm at the place and waited in line till 11pm. The line wasn’t moving for three hours. That’s absurd! I suggest to try another bars before this one.

The place is nice but the attitude of the bartender is terrible, a rude, ironic and racist attitude. I don't think I will go to that place again because I didn't like how they treated us. It's a shame because the food is delicious, but as long as they don't change the people who treat us badly. I don't think the customers can lift that place (the bartender who served us poorly)

Nice place, cool atmosphere but TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE! Bartenders are so rude, disrespectful and really bad behavior… of course first and last time at this place!
