Always fun, cheap prices, good staff
came here with my girlfriend from san diego. we’ve very lucky to have a wonderful lesbian bar in san diego so we were excited to visit another one. when we walked in, the id check was rude and unwelcoming. we took a seat and my girlfriend went to get us drinks. she stood at the bar for 5 minutes waiting for anyone to help her. after no one did, she asked the id check and they rudely told her to go to the bar… that she was just standing at. my girlfriend finally spotted someone playing on their phone who might be the bartender and asked for help. they served her but were very rude and didn’t say a single word. overall the vibes were not great and very sad considering there’s only so many lesbian bars in the US.

It’s interesting that others are leaving similar reviews on here, and I wanted to share my experience to further validate their claims that this bar is annoying and not very welcoming at all! My fiancé and I went to the bathroom together (as one does at any bar to be safe), so that we could both use the restroom and so that she could help me fix my bra, something I didn’t want to do in the open, flashing my nips everywhere isn’t necessarily my style and all of the bathroom doors were open in this bar, so the only privacy was in a STALL. Both of the stall doors were open, and it was an urgent need, so we did not see the one person per stall rule on the outside of the doors. After we were in the stall for approximately 30 seconds together, we used separate ones to pee because of how small they were, upon exiting the stall, a male worker immediately confronted my fiancé and told her that we both needed to leave because we were in a stall together. To be clear, the vibes were so confrontational that my partner asked if she was still allowed to wash her hands before we left lol. They were extremely rude and upon us leaving (and not getting a chance to finish our $15 cocktails :/) multiple bouncers watched us while we stood outside trying to figure out where to go and what to do next. All in all, really annoying and awful vibes. For a place that claims to be welcoming to everyone, the workers actions did not reflect this as they were abrasive and carried all around mean attitudes. Personally, I won’t be going here again. I had to try very hard to not let this encounter ruin my night!

It was a good vibe, all of the levels were very full and a lot of people. Very popular location and easy to find. The music is good. The drinks were really good.

WARNING: If you have a clothing mishap and your friend goes into the stall with you to fix it, the bar will IMMEDIATELY kick you out, no warning, no explanation.Worst queer bar I've ever been to. How dead it was on a Friday night should've clued me in, but we wanted to give it a chance. Stepped into the bathroom to fix my shirt, and upon exiting, were escorted by security to the front door and kicked out. If it hadn't been for a nice stranger who asked the security guard why we were being kicked out, we never would've known.Wish we would've read the reviews before we came here. If you're disabled or need help or are POC, beware!

Mostly danced upstairs, great music, so much queer energy, so hype, felt very safe. Green flag is they have water out upstairs and downstairs, which felt like they actually care about the wellbeing of the people inside. Will be back.
Went here to celebrate little sister. Not a great place for celebrating a bachelorettes or birthday as they make you take off you sashes, headbands, and other fun items you attach to yourselves for those types events. The drinks are strong though. Staff wasn't very welcoming.

Very loud and obnoxious place. I’d like to say maybe I came at an odd time, but the second time I came here the music and noise was quite unbearable.The toilets were trash and disgusting. I dunno if someone spilled a sugary drink or what but my shoes kept sticking to the floor as I walked. Take this review as you will, but I got a sense that this bar isn’t as LGBTQIA+ as they claim to be.

If I could give this place less than zero stars, I most certainly would.In the month of February when I visited this bar, I was jumped and attacked by a group of black women at League of Her Own Bar. And since then this bar has done NOTHING to assist me after my attack. Let me tell you my story:On this night, I came into this bar and was immediately hassled by the bouncer to leave my entire purse by the door. This I found to be very weird and suspicious. I saw several other bar patrons there with their own purses yet I was being told I couldn't carry mine?I tried to look past this and then sat myself at a table for a drink. A group of people, mostly black women were sitting behind me. They then began to harass and annoy me and then they went outside. A couple of them returned and continued to harass me some more, then proceeded to jump and attack me. I was by myself. The bartenders and bouncer saw this go down and didn't bother to stop or help me until the last minute. They separated the fight and threw my attackers outside. During the altercation I had lost my phone. I had a bruised eye, bleeding in the face (the bouncer HERSELF told me this) and the room was so dark all I wanted was to find my phone. The bar tender said in a fake tone "I'll help ya hun", but quit helping me search after only 10 seconds. Then the bouncer said I needed to leave. "You're bleeding in the face I gotta kick you out" she said with her own words and she threw me outside.Me, the victim of the attack, was thrown outside along with my attackers, who were waiting for me outside there.As she threw me outside, she locked the bar door behind me so I had no way of going back in to protect myself. I should also mention that the bar owner herself was also a black woman, so maybe this bar just has a thing for supporting aggression from its own community (and during Black History Month, what a coincidence.)Let my story be a warning to all: do NOT visit this bar. League of Her Own will apparently allow just anybody to be attacked and then their bar tenders will make it certain to subject you to further horrific treatment by throwing you outside without any bother to aid in medical assistance or calling the police. They have no problem leaving your life at risk, and with no means to protect yourself in the first place (my mace spray was in my purse and could have easily been retrieved had I not had my purse taken away by the bouncer).League of Her Own is a sham of a business and does not give a damn about their LGBT community or their black community as they claim to. If you want a place that provides a safe fun environment and if you care about your life and well-being, DO NOT COME TO THIS BAR!!!!

I wish I could give 0 stars. I came for my 21st birthday, it was my first “gay” experience, and they were very, very rude. Everyone was screaming and they kicked my out for being too loud. I thought this place would be accepting to peoples with disabilities, but they were very rude and uncommodating. I have ASD and a few other issues, and. I would not recommend this place to anyone who needs accommodation(s) of any kind
