It’s time to pop your lesbian bar cherry


Here’s what’s happening at the final 30 surviving lesbian bars in the U.S. today.

Lesbian bars have been slowly disappearing since their high point in the late 1980s (when an estimated 200 lesbian bars were thriving across the country). But as of 2020, only 21 queer women's bars remained when Lea DeLaria (Orange is the New Black) launched The Lesbian Bar Project, a grassroots-fundraising-turned-documentary-film, to support and celebrate the last lesbian clubs.

Lesbians (and their queer allies) have reason to be optimistic, though, as the number of lesbian bars has bloomed to 30 active establishments.

We’ve updated our gallery to include available information on the events this weekend at the 30 remaining lesbian bars in the U.S. today.
