A great experience! There aren't many safe spaces for lesbians and queer folk. Gotta keep more lesbian/queer centered businesses alive. It was my first lesbian bar and the bartenders were really sweet. It's nice to feel so welcomed even in a city we are just tourists in.
Came here for karaoke night and the vibes were fantastic! Drinks were well made and the host of the karaoke knew how to get the party going. Fun space with a basement bar and booths/tables for hanging out around. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a fun space to spend their evening
Without asking anyone, I’m pretty sure it’s a lesbian bar. Perhaps that is why I felt so welcomed. All the staff here are very nice, even when you’re asking the bartender questions about the beers on tap. She answered all my silly questions about brewery, beer name, etc. The decor is kind of low-key library/coffeehouse (very nice).
Nice, strong drinks for a good price. Cool drink menu. Cool venue. Competent staff. The dance area gets in the way a bit going from the stairs to the downstairs bar to the seating. Bathrooms are usually pretty clean. Had the sweet potato fries and those were good. Would have preferred a garlic aioli sauce with them.
I was there on Saturday (my first time there) before the ‘90s dance party and everyone was absolutely lovely. I played some Cards Against Humanity with some other guests-one who was celebrating her birthday and another friend of hers. I love the historic building and the vibes. I don’t understand the criticism. I had some cider and tried some fries…they were delicious! I am personally grateful for this delightful place.
Chill place. Lesbians, trans folks, lots of both. So some dudes. No real complaints. Vegetarian food, also gluten free. A friend said she thought the house drinks were mid, but I liked them well enough.
When you think Portland Queer lesbian bar. This is what you should be invisioning. I came here on a Wednesday and there was an open Salsa Bingers class just happening at 7! I had the Purple haze shot and my goodness it was strong! I tried also my GF's Lavendar Lemon drop (alcoholic) and my god this was great! The bar tender explained it was like a Frabries drink but I say it's more of a Lavender plant you get to eat With a tinge of alcohol. I go to CCs for the club vibe I'll be coming here for the gentle cottage core vibe. Definitely come here and don't miss out being here, drinks are over 13 dollars so keep that in mind if you're a cocktail person like me :) (Ask for Sadie she's amazing)
My partner and I had a wonderful night cap here. We just had cocktails so I can't speak too much about anything else, it was a slow Sunday night but even then there were a few parties at each table. The decor was wonderful, the seats were plush and the tables were wobbly. We met some wonderful people and an adorable little dog.
