You have absolutely NO idea how much of a pleasant surprise it has been to find this GEM of an establishment. I’m from Alabama and being black and queer is something that has always been an issue down there. Imagine my surprise walking into this hole in the wall and being greeted with SO much love and community. I was immediately overwhelmed with acceptance! I think I’ll make this place a regular hang and I highly recommend it to any BIPOC queers who may be visiting or are local but have been hesitant to check it out!!!

Such a fun experience for everyone! I was so happy and surprised that my first time in Maine was met by so much welcome and diversity! Will be here a lot for sure and recommend anyone traveling or visiting who lgbtq bipoc to come experience a HOME BAR!!

Nice clean and friendly spot.

Camaraderie abound, it felt inclusive and welcoming, especially when the bartender welcomed and goodbye'd regular patrons on a chill, low-key, relaxing afternoon.

The staff was friendly and funny. Need a drink or need a laugh? These folks got you covered.
Great and friendly service. Good drinks. Wonderful spot where locals go!
Me and my girl went to the bathroom. And within 5 mins were kicked out because you cannot go together…. Since when do two girls not use the restroom together??
Is this for lesbians too?
Great bar with reasonably priced drinks and a great bunch of people.

It feels like this is a bar where you can be yourself but I still felt a bit outplaced. When visiting please be aware of the following:
- cash only -> they have a cash machine
- sodas are siroop with spray machine which makes drinks taste awkward
- no possibility to get a receipt
- not saying thanks for tipping
Very fun bar. Easy conversations. Cheap big pours.
My girlfriend was waiting for the bathroom and got accosted by a very immature person. They pursued an argument. I told them to get walking. They continued. What did the workers here do? They sided with the instigator while assuming my cousin was straight. This establishment is unprofessional. Too many witnesses to think this was an issue on our side. Horrible establishment.

Very small and crowded space, always too many people to even maneuver around the place. The bartenders won’t give you full change, they decide to just take whatever they like for tips out of your change without asking. I handed the bartender a $20 bill for a single drink and only got $2 back. The average age is, well much older than myself, and many of the patrons get grabby and inappropriate without any care for consent.
I was extremely uncomfortable and felt unsafe the entire time. Will not be going again.

Absolutely Amazing. The Vibe, The Staff, The Drinks 10/10! First time here was awesome. I’m a OTR trucker, so I’ve seen my fare share of gay bars across the country. My experience here was above all expectations. Played pool, sang karaoke, met some cool people. From the bartenders to security, every interaction was welcoming and warm. I’ll definitely be back. ❤️💯
