Good beer on tap, and lots of wholesome queer punk energy. I've never ran into any haters here, just good vibes.

I went to this place because it was my sister’s birthday. They would not allow me in saying it was a ladies bar. I had went there the year before for my sister’s wife birthday. The bouncer was rude and kept saying I could not stand in front of the bar. I was standing there waiting for my sister and her wife to come. The bouncer during my waiting period allowed cis males to enter that she knew. After she kept turning away any group with men in it. Then the bartender and the bouncer cussed me out while I waited on the sidewalk for my sister and her wife to find parking. This place is toxic I would rather go to the DMV than this establishment.

The server with the braids was so nice, gave me my modelo quickly and I tipped her accordingly. No complaints there. The dude checking IDs is also very sweet always. However, the girl with straight dark hair has a big attitude. I am a newly 21 girl and didn’t know you couldn’t bring your drink in front of the bar. I wouldn’t even have minded having my drink taken away if she had politely told me it wasn’t allowed. It was only $5 after all! She proceeded to accuse me of threatening the livelihood of a queer bar, as if I wasn’t a lesbian myself. She also asked me if I was from here, which why would that even matter? You’re lame for that haha. Didn’t appreciate that at all, I won’t be coming back again for solely that reason. The bar is always empty every time I peek in on weekends anyways so I don’t know why she’s driving away customers like this lmao. Very lame behavior girl get a grip!!!

Drinks and service were wonderful. I really wanted to like this place more but none of the toilets were working and they couldn't run the dishwasher due to a plumbing issue. All very unsanitary. Also cash only but they have an ATM. Hopefully they will have the plumbing fixed before we try again. We didn't want to leave early but we had to since there was not a functional bathroom. Update: it's fixed 🙌 🤗 and now I can just love the vibes.

👎👎👎 Would have liked to try it out but they discriminate based on appearance and don't let certain people in based on how they look or identify. Racist, sexist and discriminatory. Don't know how this is allowed in 2025.
Drinks are cheap! $3 beer
I had high hopes for this bar.
Unfortunately is becoming alike the Lexington Club ..
Bartenders started to act like they are Gods .
They are bringing friends and family and making it really Cliche’.
Does not feel inclusive , Authentic or community ..
Some bartenders won’t even look at you and focus on serve their friends and get drunk behind the bar or being high …Me and a few friends felt really uncomfortable while waiting for a drink and seeing the bartender( Elo) ignoring us or give us bad looks…Seriusly ..!!
One time I ordered a drink , she went away and went to do shots with her friends . Served a drink with melted ice and had the courage to charge me for it . Not even remake it ..
Others are too full of themselves and are really impolite and mean( Gianna) … Yelling and acting like they own the place ,
lol you don’ t owe it .
I will not tolerate if a person is disrespectful.
They are there to serve and help customers , we are not there to pay their wages and make them feel important!
keep your problems home , we all have it but leave them home …
I honestly have seen better looking women and with a better personality.
I guess those people don’t know how to treat people or how to make tips …
I like a few staff members that are nice ( D . And Aug) but the bartenders need to chill out and change their attitudes . Probably management know but don’t care .
I won’t give them my money or support them anymore .
Q bar is having lady night again on Tuesday night, there is LesBeaux and Jolene that will take my money without attitudes

Fantastic little punk rock lesbian bar. Loved the vibe. A little cramped but it was definitely atmospheric! Also, I heard the explanation they give to masc presenting men over preserving the space and keeping it comfortable for all women, love that!!

I was not welcomed as a straight-looking man. Repeatedly challenged by the bouncer whether I knew it was a lesbian bar.
My boyfriend and I are both transgender. We are always looking for interesting nightlife that also feels comfortable and inclusive. Mother has always been that! We have never felt uncomfortable here and always feel welcome. The bouncer is always very nice and keeps the right crowd in the bar. Angelica, a bartender has also been very kind and informative and has made us feel welcomed. The Malibu pineapple was also delicious ❤️😊

Every time I come to this bar there’s an issue getting in. “Do you know what type of bar this is?” I do and thought I would be welcomed since I’m part of the lgbtq+ communtiy. I’m trans and masc presenting and the bouncers take it upon themselves to determine what my business is being there. God forbid any one one other than a stereotypical looking woman or lesbian want a drink.
Drinks are fun. Hella gay!!! Love it.
