Thank you for being great humans and employers! Your staff are amazing and the atmosphere is nothing short of incredible. Always a great time and very welcoming atmosphere.

I haven't been there in years, the reason I stopped going was when it stopped being strictly a lesbian bar and going to all inclusive. That was the one place that we had to go to to meet other lesbians and it is very different now and that's a shame.

I have been here many Times, and given this place a chance, but after being overcharged for other people’s drinks because they confuse my tab not once but twice. The quality of the food is unspeakable! Despite it being bar food they really need to change the oil. Like how do you mess u chicken tenders!? I get the gimmick of this but if I wanted to be shoved in a corner with sticky tables and have my drink wrong I’ll go to broadway and see their karaoke 🎤. Thanks but _pass

Came here Saturday in the early afternoon with the intention of doing their brunch. We were REALLY looking forward to coming here specifically on our trip to Nashville because as a queer couple this was recommended highly to us. We were under the impression that this was a woman centered (lesbian) queer bar, and the decor felt inlined with that, so we thought this would be the safest place we felt in Nashville. When we walk in around 1pm, the tables were all full so we decided to go to the bar to order drinks. When we’re at the bar the woman behind the bar completely ignores us and continues to talk to her customer at the bar. Okay no worries wasn’t trying to interrupt. Another woman yells from the back shell be there in a moment, we wait 5 minutes and then a man comes to help us out. My wife and I order a drink each, it was $30 for two amaretto sours. If I had known that those were going to be $15 each we probably would have gotten a speciality cocktail instead. By the time we received our drinks some tables had opened up and we were able to take a booth. The atmosphere and the decorations were very nice and fun, exactly what we were looking for !
A few groups came in shortly after we sat down and were immediately greeted and given menus, so I asked one of the servers for a menu as well (as we had planned for brunch here!) and was told to scan a QR code, okay again no problem. The two other tables were taken care of, able to order and get their food, while no one came back over to our table. Sure we could have gone to the bar to order again, but the bartender was serving the other tables so we felt if they could be served, why couldn’t we? We finished our drinks and sat for another 15 minutes before we decided to leave, as we were getting up and grabbing the glasses to take back to the bar, the bartender asked us if we were doing ok/needed anything. Obviously at this point we were leaving so no we didn’t need anything else. Overall disappointing visit as we were going to eat there and then come back and party that night, but we decided to go somewhere else. We were very very much looking forward to this place and unfortunately we had a better experience on broadway.

This place is truly special and so amazing. I have felt so safe and seen and loved. A true sanctuary and incredible place filled with wonderful people. The only lesbian bar in Nashville and my favorite place to go! The food is amazing, drinks too!

POC queers. BE CAUTIOUS. This is usually a fun, inclusive place to go while also being in a friendly and safe atmosphere. Tonight, I went to the bar to get me and my gf some drinks while we waited on our karaoke song. I’m standing in a single file line waiting to order. I get to the bar, the bartender walks off then comes back. When she comes back, she skips me then asks the next girl in line her order. I’m thinking she accidentally skipped me, so I say, I was actually next in line. She gets pissed off, acts like I’m yelling at her and causing a scene. Tells me there’s no order, she just takes whoever when clearly there was a line. She proceeds being rude, while treating me like I’m some angry black woman. Then she slams my card on the counter, throws my drinks together and passes them off. If you’re there tonight, 7/12/25, she’s wearing the “daddy” T-shirt with a black cap turned back. Go to the other bartender with brunette hair, pigtails, and colorful. She’s always very friendly and an excellent bartender.

Been here few times, and when new people want to visit I go with them with this case 7/11/25 we were there at 8 pm and they were cover for the band?? They didn't mention on the website?? The guy say oh it stop at 8:30 pm we didn't want to pay, so we go to restruant a cross and when is 8;45 pm lady at the door collecting money I ask what time the band is done cus the guy say 8:30 she say on they wont be done till 9-10 pm and
Have to pay cover all day? So how is it your employees don't know what time is over or what time you stop taking cover to get in if we don't want to watch the band? 2 people 2 different story

So I went back home my friend went back by her self at 9 thinking ok is fine she's gonnawafxh the band
And pay turn out the only take cash so just wasted 3 hours of my time. Andmy friend time

Be better train your staff right time of info? And update your website when you say kareoke is 8 pm everyday!!

One of my favorite spots in Nashville! They host karaoke most every night downstairs, which is always a party. If you get too overstimulated, they have outdoor seating and “the upper lip” upstairs where you can relax with a cocktail and classy cigars that they sell. Great for queer newcomers looking to build community and make new friends!
