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 š š¤ and now I can just love the vibes.

ššš 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 Clicheā.
Does not feel inclusive , Authentic or community ..
Some bartenders wonāt even look at you and focus on serve their friends and get drunk behind the bar or being high ā¦Me and a few friends felt really uncomfortable while waiting for a drink and seeing the bartender( Elo) ignoring us or give us bad looksā¦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 donā 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 ā¦
I honestly have seen better looking women and with a better personality.
I guess those people donāt know how to treat people or how to make tips ā¦
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 donāt care .
I wonāt 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!!
Truly welcoming space with delicious drinks! Cash only but they have an atm available.

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 ā¤ļøš

Every time I come to this bar thereās an issue getting in. āDo you know what type of bar this is?ā I do and thought I would be welcomed since Iām part of the lgbtq+ communtiy. Iām 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.

An Absolute Gem ā A Must-Visit Queer Haven!
This bar is everything a community space should beāwarm, inclusive, and downright magical. As a lesbian-owned establishment, it radiates authenticity and pride from the moment you walk through the door. The energy is always electric but never overwhelmingājust the right balance of cozy and alive. You can vibe to music while still being able to chat with your friends without shouting at them š
The bartenders are absolute sweetheartsāwelcoming, attentive, and somehow always remember your favorite drink (which, by the way, might be hard to choose because the drink menu is out of this world: from having their own custom Mother beer, cocktails with playful names, top-shelf spirits, and fun ways to take your shots, that make the experience fun!
What truly sets this place apart are the unique eventsāfrom drink & draw to dance parties, trans meetups, tech networking social mixers, the diversity of events is palpable and it's easy to meet new friends or just vibe with chosen family.
Itās not just a barāitās a pillar of the community, a safe space where joy, connection, and celebration thrive. Whether you're a regular or it's your first time walking in, you'll leave feeling like you belong.
Canāt recommend it enough. Five stars doesnāt do it justice. šš

Walken to this bar for the 1st time. I have been going there for 40years! The very large young person who was getting said, this is a lesbian bar. That's why I went there!!when she exclaimed that was for lesbians, I explained that I love lesbians, I am gay. She took that to a discounting level and refused me!!
