| - honestly, the only reason I'm giving this place three stars is because it's the only place in Phoenix where lesbians can openly gather and interact. and by interact, i mean give each other dirty looks from across the bar because they're dating the same chick and have to somehow prove they are alpha dog to the rest of the bar. hey guess what, your clothes are out of style and your haircut lost it's edge 3 years ago. for realz, do I need to go all queer eye for the lesbian on them? oh and that chick you're both dating? she has gonorrhea from the guy she's been sleeping with as well. congrats on the clap, i'll even buy you a $3 sweat tea vodka lemonade to celebrate what morals you had that went out the door when you entered this bar.
I do however secretly like going here because I get treated like the fucking king that I believe myself to be. everyone gets out of my way, the DJ loves playing my requests, and the bartenders pour me some deliciously strong, cheap drinks. the issue I have with the bar is that on one hand it tries to come off as classy with it's swanky sofas and flat screen TV, yet will never shake that lesbian dive vibe that the main room draws in due to terrible decor and stereotypical lesbian bar mantra (dart board, stripper pole, swivel chairs). and they have TWO womens bathroom stalls to take care of the 50+ lesbians that cram into this place on any given friday or saturday evening. demolish the space between the mens and the womens room and just make it one big unisex bathroom. I don't think many gay people would object and it saves many butch/masculine-female/trans people from the awkwardness of picking between the male and female bathrooms.
if this place had a proper make over, it has the potential to be a hot lesbian bar, but i don't think they will ever get there, or really care to.. for now, I find it a safe haven to be myself at and converse with the few sexy ladies that drop in on occasion. take it for face value, and don't expect very much besides cheap drinks, NO COVER ever, good service if you're an attractive dyke, and an abundance of lesbian drama.
PS- CASH ONLY!!!!!!!
