I lived in a big city and we had 5 gay bars...only one of the bars hosts a ladies night 2 times a month...one thing I noticed is even though we have ladies nights we always would get married heterosexual couples that would come in trying to get women to come home with them to sleep with their wives...a lot of "lesbians" are disgusted by this and have felt pushed out of many bars because a lot of straight people even come in just to gawk and laugh...
Super none ya Fucking gross. What part of lesbian night don't they get? I'm bi, and can't imagine doing this to someone, nor have I ever wanted a threesome.
I live in san francisco and when I first moved here one of my questions were "where are the lesbian bars or lesbian anything?" Every store in the castro is for gay males, and every bar is for gay males.
Social media is also changing the way lesbians gather. In some respects it is good that we have meet up groups and events that do not always revolve around a bar, alcohol and drinking, but it would be nice to have a central place in every city where women could always go for community. The social struggles are drastically changing for lesbians, and as we become more accepted into society, i.e. marriage and children, we may just end up diluted into society.
That's why so many lesbian bars struggle. They do often serve as community centers etc. We need that but a bar has lots of operating expenses & alcohol sales are, unfortunately, needed to make ends meet. I haven't been in a lesbian bar in over a decade but in the late 80's-the 90's our local lesbian bar was open 7 days a week & the owner said Friday & Saturday nights, when alcohol sales were high, were the only days they made money. They were losing money the other nights but they stayed open 7 days a week for all kinds of different events. Ultimately they started a policy of a 2 drink minimum or a cover charge to cover operating expenses on slow days. I think lots of lesbian bars were/are in similar positions. They want to serve as community centers as well & end up not being able to make ends meet. That bar went out of business about 10 years ago & a few others tried to make a go of it but they went under in months. I think you are right, lesbian bars will become a thing of the past as we blend into society. I find that kind of sad. I never liked to drink but the lesbian bar was a safe place, especially when I was young & didn't feel safe being myself in public.
There used to be a place where young men could come together, exclusively, with other young men; boy scouts. Everything is a candidate for infiltration and extinction, including lesbian bars.

i think the reason they closed would most likely be that it is so easy to reach out on the internet or the street and meet people of whatever sexual orientation you are/ and are looking for..well maybe not so so easy but easier than in the past i mean to say, IMHO. i do think its a shame that there isn't a public space and theres no learning from one generation to another or mentorship i think thats true of society in general, sadly , too but anyone who is at risk of feeling marginalized needs that encouragement and love even more... especially with the rise of well just look at the incompetent orange and mike pence views, so i can see how people are worried... i think its different i agree with the point that one woman said about how gay men who live close to areas like hillcrest for example have disposable income and date more maybe before settling down i don't know how true that is in my experience it has been true but i haven't met every gay man on earth so i don't know. on one hand I'm glad no one feels excluded like they need a defined space but on the other hand when you go to a parade or somewhere where people celebrate their freedom their rights who they are can be powerful and so it would be a shame to lose that completely or even to relegate it to like only museum status feels hollow too I don't know i wish gay coffee shops would take off but i don't think anyone would feel like they need it so i think it might not succeed? i don't know but more power to you if thats your dream then i wish you good luck and hope it works out. i think location could be important. i wonder in other countries how this has evolved from like clandestine speakeasy-like places to more open places as culture evolves and accepts more people as they are...

The human body has so much variation. Tall, short, light dark, hairy, not hairy...Over 40% of women have facial hair. Most don't embrace it. Wonderful to see a woman wearing her facial hair without shame.
Nah tbh her mustache isn't really that thick, mine has more hair but my hormones are balanced and where they're supposed to be some people are just hairy lol
I hope that lesbian bars are still around by the time I turn 21. The fact I've never been to/ had a safe space already sucks, but finding out that few of the possible places I can go to meet other lesbians are slowly disappearing really bums me out.
Emely Garcia You're an Israelite of the Northern Kingdom. There's a l i n k on my About section called "The 12 Tribes of Israel Today". The l i n k leads to a page that has our modern day names (e.g. Puerto Rican, Mexican, Dominican, Guatamalan, etc.) and what we are called by God.
Sm at least in my city theres one of the largest lgbt bars/night clubs in the world and they have an space just for woman but i dont have any money to spend /:
I feel this too, it's seem like it's becoming dominated by white men as well, just like everywhere else in society, but we're not ready to talk about that
@@stonerwitch4629 You’re dam right my brother, as a masculine bisexual man who’s attracted only to other masculine men and feminine women, I have seen people saying that my preference is somehow offensive. And as a mixed Polynesian/Latino, I only feel comfortable dating other Polynesians or Latino(a)s and that’s also offensive to some. So yeah, preferences are now offensive apparently. Kinda like how some Lesbians are having a hard time with Trans-women because they don’t want to date Trans-women and are called Transphobic for not going out with them.
Wow, I thought it was just me thinking I couldn't find lesbian bars anymore because I wasn't in "the loop"... It's kinda sad to see but integration is a door that can always lead to something bigger!!
They said there's only one lesbian bar in NYC but when I visited, I went to a little place called the Cubby Hole in Greenwich Village. There were men there too but largely lesbians. I don't know if it identifies as a lesbian bar anymore but it certainly has a lot of lesbian customers.
Katie Thank You!!! I was so pissed that they didn't include the cubby hole in the NYC list of Lesbian bars. I felt that that was very misleading and also that it was messed up to not publicize and support every single lesbian bar in NYC since there are so few. The Cubby Hole is definitely a lesbian bar for sure and seeing that the host is from NYC I was saddened and kinda pissed that she didn't include it because it would seem she did so knowingly
Why are all of America’s lesbian bars shutting down? Broadly host JD Samson travels across the country to find out. *Subscribe here*: bit.ly/Subscribe-to-BROADLY
+Broadly i believe it MAY be attributed the 1% of (hipster) lesbians who are sporting nerdy...no....ASTONISHINGLY , UNBELIEVABLY, ARE-YOU-FUCKING-KIDDING-ME DORKY circular white rimmed glasses and scaring off the other 99% of the lesbians. i mean seriously, if you listen closely, you can hear the hordes of lesbians running away, in sheer terror, all due to those glasses.
I actually get really down about being bisexual, because I feel like I can never meet chicks. There is no central place for chicks to meet up, have a drink, and chill. To be straight up, that sucks!!! Men bore me! I feel so much more comfortable when I'm with girls and lets be real, the sex is so much better!
Men bore you. You feel more comfortable with girls and intimacy of the physical kind is better with females. You may have "labeled" yourself incorrectly and indeed you are a lesbian. Sometimes a few words speak volumes. May you find peace, love, respect and joy within, letting your light so shine! 🕊
If men bore you and you prefer sex with a woman then ONLY be with women. Why are you torturing yourself?? That is complete nonsense. And just because you PREFER sex with a woman, doesn't make it "better". Sex is an INDIVIDUAL thing. Some people are more in tune than others and it has NOTHING to do with gender. All this should be obvious...Grow up. You don't have to defend being a lesbian. Do your thing and keep it moving.
@@LunaSin I agree with your point, however she said that men "bore" her. Nevermind the pun. So, she said Bored=disinterest, so you are creating a false equivalency for her. Js...
This makes me so sad. I live in Berlin and I don't mind where I go out drinking, but when I'm in a gay/lesbian bar with all my friends (we're all gay/lesbians) we just feel super comfortable and feel we don't need to edit ourselves!
Connor Rouse I have been of legal drinking age for 10 years here in USA Indiana and I have never been to a lesbian bar. Been to ladies nights at the gay club but for the life of me, I can't find a lesbian bar lol.
Interesting. In the 1990s, word was there was *godawful* tension between gays and lesbians in Hamburg..I wonder if it must've become easy-going like you're casting Berlin as being.
When she asked the stormtroopers where any lesbian bars would be, I lost my shit 😂😂😂 Loved this mini documentary. So interestingly sad and enlightening to how in actuality the gay community still needs so much support, regardless of 'being gay' becoming 'more normalised'... society's still blundering behind. Love Broadly so much.
i feel like there should be lgbt coffee shops, i mean it’s welcomed to everyone but it’s just a nicer plane for lgbt people to meet each other without screaming in eatch others faces
i think the actual pushing of acceptance of the gay community, where now alot of straights are comfortable around, has maybe now ruined the atmosphere of being gay and being around other gay people. Alot of straights like to go for their own entertainment.
This is all so true and applies to a lot of minority groups and subcultures. Often, clubs have been replaced by nights for LGBTQ, BDSM, punk, goth, and metal cultures. It's very sad, especially for the lack of history sharing.
yerb I’m not anti feminist. (Anymore, at least y i k e s) I just know transphobia when I see it. And I don’t like it. WLW like me crack down pretty hard on TERFS cause we don’t want them to make our community look like we condone their actions.
yerb calling out transphobia is inherently lesbophobic? I love when people try to justify their transphobia by crying lesbophobe it makes people trying to call out actual lesbophobia look bad.
It's a sad comment, but I think in this country it's more acceptable to be a gay man than a lesbian. We really need to open our hearts and minds to the fact that we are all different and let people be who they are.
Elise ghattas and because lesbians are seen by a lot of people/men as just a hot thing; they fetishize us. They think men are the active sexual party, and women are just passive & present as a tool for the man. So they can understand gay males’ active sex role while also not wanting to think/talk/look at it because it’s not hot to them. But women, well they’re just objects, so they think they can say and think whatever they want about us.
It's the same where I live, in Australia. There are two gay bars/ clubs in my city and only 1 lesbian club, but it only runs once a month. It's already hard enough as it is to meet gay girls, and the night life scene doesn't really help.
I wonder if the advent of the internet killed the lesbian bars. They were not just places to drink, but were also social network and community hubs. The internet made much of that obsolete, especially if you consider the lesbian dating apps.
Don’t act like it’s just you. All bars and nightclubs, gay , straight or otherwise, have had a massive overall decline. I grew up in that era and I’ve seen the shift myself. Stop believing it’s just you.
Philly’s last lesbian bar, Sisters, closed a little while back. I just saw an article recently and here is the first paragraph: “You may have seen some action happening around Sisters lately. The shuttered lesbian bar on Chancellor Street is being prepped to open as … are you ready for this? A straight bar.”
The only lesbian bar in my city closed recently. I'm married and never went there to date... it's just impossible to find community now. I want to know other lesbians and have lesbian friends, but can't find any because there is no where to meet anymore.
Very insightful. It’s the same here in the Philippines. I’ve ranted to a friend about this same problem. There’s only one bar I know that caters to lesbians and the event runs only once or twice a month. I’m a bisexual women leaning into women. I really wish there were more safe spaces were I can meet more women who love women.
Loved the show, but there was one critical point left out: the move away from alcoholism among lesbians. When I moved to San Francisco in 2013 to find someone, I was told that the new hot spot for it was A.A!
Love this documentary! I used to walk past Meow Mix ALL THE TIME as a young girl. I've always wanted to be able to go and experience it...never was able to. So sad it closed down.
thanks for sharing and for making this doc. I found this because in my town a queer space is closing and someone posted a link to this. also, le tigre and peaches rock.
Great job on this! Very sad to hear about the demise of so many lesbian bars. As a gay Ally and cis female, I was in many gay bars in Washington DC during the late 70s to the late 80s. Most of my friends were gay men, but I also visited a couple of lesbian bars back then with other friends. I'm pretty sure that I was at the Phase at some point. I had no idea that this shutting down of lesbian bars what's happening. Thank you for this discussion with both everyday people and experts.
Back in the seventies in Cambridge and Boston, we had a women’s restaurant, a bookstore, a women’s center, two bars. We spent all day in the company of women.
As a lesbian myself, I am in the mid-30s range having grown up seeing the lesbian community of get-together spots die out... With all the social media people are just staying indoors more often and that is just totally and utterly sad. I personally am not old enough to be considered old yet and I am not young enough to want to just go to those one night a week events... I hope this generation learns the importance of real human contact between others. That they do not lose their humanitylooking into a phone or computer screen and swiping.
Great to see conversations like this taking place in so many different cities, seeing lesbians from all walks of life come to chat about how things are changing in the moment and what that might mean for the future, can't wait to see what else keeps coming up!
I literally JUST went to a lesbian bar in NYC and it wasnt Henrietta Hudsons...it had been there for a long time. If the girl in this documentary is from NY I find it hard to believe that she doesn't know there ARE other lesbians bars in NYC. Its definitely sad that we don't have as many places to go out especially when there are a million gay bars, but I was just disappointed that she didn't include the other bars that 100 percent do exist.
I know these things have been commented on, in barious places, but I don't think I've seen so many of the angles and dimensions to this brought together in one video or one article, etc. This is such a vivid picture. Thank you for putting this together. It's sad that the community is losing spaces to meet, but I hope something will come up to take their places or fill in the gap left by these bars closing.
I think she means that people are more open to embracing other identities which weren't options for them before. Like how lots of butch lesbians later have come out as trans men.
None of these explanations make sense. Are they saying ALL the lesbians paired up and moved to the suburbs? So what happened to all the hip young lesbians? Why aren't they filling those spaces? Have we stopped making them or something?🤔
More of this visiting some other locations would be awesome! Kept hoping to see Sue Ellen's in Dallas before reading the description and realizing it was only 4 cities.
I work in a nightclub here in San Francisco, where many LGBTQ+ folks work. When the Lexington closed a few years ago, it felt like the heart of San Francisco had truly finally stopped beating. RIP Lex
I thought a gay bar was for gay men and lesbians. I had no idea the lesbian bars were separate and that women felt more comfortable there. I'm so glad I watched this.
It's probably because lesbians date more and when in relationship they don't go to the bar as much? We have a lesbian bar here and it literally went out of business until it re-opened with gay men in mind. Now it's busy af all the time.
Maybe I'm a bit younger so I'm part of a different scene, but I usually go to Town in DC (only went to Phase once when I still had a fake ID) for their 18+ nights and while I'm p annoyed by the presence of bachelorette parties, there's usually a pretty fair sprinkling of lesbians (myself included), I'd say about four lesbians for every six gay men, which isn't the best ratio, but it's not that bad. Lesbian bars would be fantastic, I definitely would go to one if I could, but I feel like spaces that are entirely LGBT (so not just catered to gay men, lesbians, etc.) are perfectly great and a fantastic way to feel at one with the community. This was still sad to watch, Phase One has since closed down permanently.
This is excellent reporting. Congratulations, and compliments to all involved on the great production values - and for the interesting, well-told story.
The last lesbian bar in the French Quarter was the re-opened Rubyfruit Jungle on Decatur behind the French Market. It closed in, I want to say, 2007? 2008? Maybe it was Laura's. They just never drew a crowd. They took over the space from the last goth club in NO, and the lesbians didn't show up, so they started having goth nights to bring SOMEONE in, and it eventually reverted to being goth again. Even that's gone, now. It's just another bar.
Gay men are more likely to be searching for easy hookups and bars are still a good place for that. Gay women are more likely to be searching for relationships and they no longer need bars for that. Or maybe society is more accepting of homosexual women, so they can go to straight clubs and bars without facing discrimination - lesbian bars become obsolete?
I've watched a lot of really solid, good videos tonight. But this one is easily my favorite for a number of reasons. [I hope I don't step on any toes by talking about gay men's bars in the comments of a video about lesbian bars disappearing. But, some things in the video reminded me of my experiences and they seem related. I'm more than happy to take criticism and make changes in the future.] I'm male and bi and spent twenty+ years getting over my personal BS about my sexuality. In the town I live in, a small Arkansas college town, there used to be three gay bars at one time here; plus another bar that had an lgbtq night once a week. Once I felt like I really was over my problems with the BS of society, I started spending time going to the gay bars. I had bad timing. The bars here all were already on the way out. And it wasn't long after I started going that they all closed. Even the once a week dance night ended and that used to be HUGE. One of the bars that closed was fairly quickly bought by some other folks and turned into a gay bar. Yay! ...wait, it's a 'diversity bar.' I'm totally cool with that concept. But, I quickly started noticing that this place was really boring. I mean, like junior high dance boring. It literally felt like I was at a junior high dance sometimes. My memories of gay bars when I was in my twenties was of how unconventional the whole experience was. Besides being queer, I'm pretty much abnormal in every other way for my area. So, the gay bars were fantastic. Except, I was still dealing with my issues. Sigh.... The diversity bar drove me crazy for a bit. I would go and spend my whole night trying to figure out what had happened to the bars I used to love. And one night it just hit me; these gays and lesbians were NORMAL.... The gay community is, itself, becoming gentrified! At least in my southern small town area,, that seems to be what has happened. The community that I used to be able to identify with for reasons beyond sexuality, non-conformity, had started basically being like the other normal people in the area. I always didn't belong here. But now that that last beautiful bastion of weirdness has gone, I've never been so lonely. It's definitely time to go.
@@Lola_Nico I was thinking "El Gato Flamenco" basically a cat with a apanish guitar in the logo and cute cat decor on the inside and soft guitar music playing in the background. A couple of cats around the tables and waiters dressed in a cute flamenco vibes uniform. Pd I dance flamenco, i guess that's why I envisioned it that way 😅
Wow. What an eye opener... now I know what I am going to do with my extra funds. Lesbian and Gay bars , saved me, so to speak back in the day. In Phoenix in the 80’s and 90’s there were 4 bars I can think of right now off the top of my head that I went to just about every weekend. I love to dance and love the night life ... I had no idea these venues were dying out. I do believe very much In community, dancing and DJ s ( I was one) and events. Some place to go and let your hair down, people watch, and strike up friendships in 3D Rather then the autonomy of a keyboard and 2D monitor.
Pearl Bar in Houston is a lesbian/women-centric bar. The thing with Austin is that they want seem like its accepting but the gay scene is very bro-centric.
right on! I spent my 20s in San Francisco. The Q club parties, Mango bar, the Café (and comfort zone in Oakland) were rocking! I miss those times. Thanks for this video. Very well done.
I agree that we need more lesbian bars. I live in NC (worst possible place for a lesbian to live) and have yet to find the one. All the girls here are either straight or just use me. I know there have to be so many women out there that would be wonderful with me but I just don't know where to find them. I desperately want someone who genuinely wants an honest, deep, loving relationship based on more than using each other and getting fucked up.
I say this shit all the time--lesbians just dont party. In DC we once had a great lesbian bar called "Lace" which was a friendly space for black lesbians. They had poetry nights, and it was a super cute spot. It closed unfortunately, but I truly wish there were more spaces for black lesbians.

The human body has so much variation. Tall, short, light dark, hairy, not hairy...Over 40% of women have facial hair. Most don't embrace it. Wonderful to see a woman wearing her facial hair without shame.
I would be skeptical to think that it was natural. Testosterone supplements, hair implants, etc. could be a large contributor.
Shame women who want facial hair can't grow it in thick so they have more options in styling it.
MrRobot600 Hahaha no that’s probably natural. I can tell you from experience.
I have nipple hair! TMI?
Nah tbh her mustache isn't really that thick, mine has more hair but my hormones are balanced and where they're supposed to be some people are just hairy lol
It's official...I'm starting a cafe called LGB-Tea that serves tea, coffee, and pastries 24/7 and is decorated entirely in pastel pride flags
Brook Braeken we should call it les-coffee bean-ans
Man you really start a go fund me for this.A lot of people would donate i am sure
@Not Convinced Who are you to decide lmao, so pathetic when straight people act like they know lesbians personally
I WILL donate :)
Where is it?
I hope that lesbian bars are still around by the time I turn 21. The fact I've never been to/ had a safe space already sucks, but finding out that few of the possible places I can go to meet other lesbians are slowly disappearing really bums me out.
Emely Garcia You're an Israelite of the Northern Kingdom. There's a l i n k on my About section called "The 12 Tribes of Israel Today". The l i n k leads to a page that has our modern day names (e.g. Puerto Rican, Mexican, Dominican, Guatamalan, etc.) and what we are called by God.
Sm at least in my city theres one of the largest lgbt bars/night clubs in the world and they have an space just for woman but i dont have any money to spend /:
Seems almost like the queer lgbt community is showing a face favourable mainly and almost exclusively to men.......
Tea.
I feel this too, it's seem like it's becoming dominated by white men as well, just like everywhere else in society, but we're not ready to talk about that
@@TheKelso132 women don't want to pay for alcohol, drinks or club entry. Take a bit of responsiblity for yourself

You’re dam right my brother, as a masculine bisexual man who’s attracted only to other masculine men and feminine women, I have seen people saying that my preference is somehow offensive.
And as a mixed Polynesian/Latino, I only feel comfortable dating other Polynesians or Latino(a)s and that’s also offensive to some.
So yeah, preferences are now offensive apparently.
Kinda like how some Lesbians are having a hard time with Trans-women because they don’t want to date Trans-women and are called Transphobic for not going out with them.
Wow, I thought it was just me thinking I couldn't find lesbian bars anymore because I wasn't in "the loop"... It's kinda sad to see but integration is a door that can always lead to something bigger!!
They said there's only one lesbian bar in NYC but when I visited, I went to a little place called the Cubby Hole in Greenwich Village. There were men there too but largely lesbians. I don't know if it identifies as a lesbian bar anymore but it certainly has a lot of lesbian customers.
Katie Thank You!!! I was so pissed that they didn't include the cubby hole in the NYC list of Lesbian bars. I felt that that was very misleading and also that it was messed up to not publicize and support every single lesbian bar in NYC since there are so few. The Cubby Hole is definitely a lesbian bar for sure and seeing that the host is from NYC I was saddened and kinda pissed that she didn't include it because it would seem she did so knowingly
My friend told me about this place she said it’s amazing
I've been to the Cubby Hole before, I didn't know it was a lesbian bar because I'd see so many guys there and I'm a Trans man.
So does: The Dutchess
There is a lesbian bar in park slope. Lived in the area for years, that place is still there. It is small though.
Why are all of America’s lesbian bars shutting down? Broadly host JD Samson travels across the country to find out.
*Subscribe here*: bit.ly/Subscribe-to-BROADLY
+Broadly Come to Seattle, there are still Lesbian bars here
+Broadly i believe it MAY be attributed the 1% of (hipster) lesbians who are sporting nerdy...no....ASTONISHINGLY , UNBELIEVABLY, ARE-YOU-FUCKING-KIDDING-ME DORKY circular white rimmed glasses and scaring off the other 99% of the lesbians. i mean seriously, if you listen closely, you can hear the hordes of lesbians running away, in sheer terror, all due to those glasses.
+Hasset Bound umm??
+Hasset Bound Seriously, what kind of fucking lesbian goes after a "woman" with a MOUSTACHE?
There's still a lesbian bar in Manhattan called the Cubby Hole.
The journalist is absolutely adorable. Great style.
JD Samson is more than a journalist, she's a musician, in the band "Le Tigre" or "MEN", she' s great
No, moron.
Tbh I clicked because I saw someone cute in the thumbnail, but I also wasn't aware lesbian bars are more of a thing in the past. :^(
I actually get really down about being bisexual, because I feel like I can never meet chicks. There is no central place for chicks to meet up, have a drink, and chill. To be straight up, that sucks!!!
Men bore me! I feel so much more comfortable when I'm with girls and lets be real, the sex is so much better!
Men bore you. You feel more comfortable with girls and intimacy of the physical kind is better with females. You may have "labeled" yourself incorrectly and indeed you are a lesbian. Sometimes a few words speak volumes. May you find peace, love, respect and joy within, letting your light so shine! 🕊
If men bore you and you prefer sex with a woman then ONLY be with women. Why are you torturing yourself?? That is complete nonsense. And just because you PREFER sex with a woman, doesn't make it "better". Sex is an INDIVIDUAL thing. Some people are more in tune than others and it has NOTHING to do with gender. All this should be obvious...Grow up. You don't have to defend being a lesbian. Do your thing and keep it moving.
@@LunaSin I agree with your point, however she said that men "bore" her. Nevermind the pun. So, she said Bored=disinterest, so you are creating a false equivalency for her. Js...
Roger Williams I am a straight woman and men bore the fuck out of me sexually. How could that possibly invalidate the fact that I’m straight?
Quirky Quipster lol, don't slap a label on her. She finds womens better. Get over it. Lol
This makes me so sad. I live in Berlin and I don't mind where I go out drinking, but when I'm in a gay/lesbian bar with all my friends (we're all gay/lesbians) we just feel super comfortable and feel we don't need to edit ourselves!
Connor Rouse I have been of legal drinking age for 10 years here in USA Indiana and I have never been to a lesbian bar. Been to ladies nights at the gay club but for the life of me, I can't find a lesbian bar lol.
Editing yourself is your own insecurity, moron.
where are the lesbian bars in berlin?
@@nikiiglesias5860 converted to mosques.
Interesting. In the 1990s, word was there was *godawful* tension between gays and lesbians in Hamburg..I wonder if it must've become easy-going like you're casting Berlin as being.
the internet killed the gay bar scene everywhere
and not just gay bars, has had impact on straight bar´s profits too.
Get off the internet. I’ll meet you in the street.
Not every gay bar too be fair
"Get off the internet. I’ll meet you in the street" I see what you did there, very good placement! ;)
Not really. There are a ton of gay bars here in NYC, just not lesbian bars.
When she asked the stormtroopers where any lesbian bars would be, I lost my shit 😂😂😂 Loved this mini documentary. So interestingly sad and enlightening to how in actuality the gay community still needs so much support, regardless of 'being gay' becoming 'more normalised'... society's still blundering behind.
Love Broadly so much.
This really funny....
i feel like there should be lgbt coffee shops, i mean it’s welcomed to everyone but it’s just a nicer plane for lgbt people to meet each other without screaming in eatch others faces
*place
appreciate me thissss
There's apparently Cuties in LA
I went to one in Brussels, Belgium.
I wish there were lesbian cafes...a place for lesbians to have a coffee and chat.
i think the actual pushing of acceptance of the gay community, where now alot of straights are comfortable around, has maybe now ruined the atmosphere of being gay and being around other gay people. Alot of straights like to go for their own entertainment.
This is all so true and applies to a lot of minority groups and subcultures. Often, clubs have been replaced by nights for LGBTQ, BDSM, punk, goth, and metal cultures. It's very sad, especially for the lack of history sharing.
+HeavyMetalJess I'd like a club combining all of the above please ^^
+malphina starwin. Amen!
User 1 why are you here
User 1 Yes i am, your point?
I get it, but uh... you get how it’s a much bigger issue when it’s with LGBTQ people than when it’s with BDSM, punk, goth, etc. people?
That makes my sad because I want the lesbians to have their own bars, they need to have a bar for just themselves like how us gay boys have our own.
Thank you for understanding ❤
I just want spaces for WLW so we can meet and date each other outside of using annoying apps!
Sounds like Tumblr to me
Lesbian Amazon Sister transphobia much?
Lesbian Amazon Sister ahhh. TERF spotted!
yerb I’m not anti feminist. (Anymore, at least y i k e s) I just know transphobia when I see it. And I don’t like it. WLW like me crack down pretty hard on TERFS cause we don’t want them to make our community look like we condone their actions.
yerb calling out transphobia is inherently lesbophobic? I love when people try to justify their transphobia by crying lesbophobe it makes people trying to call out actual lesbophobia look bad.
It's a sad comment, but I think in this country it's more acceptable to be a gay man than a lesbian. We really need to open our hearts and minds to the fact that we are all different and let people be who they are.
@@olafriedel2182 thats because society invalidates us. they dont see "lesbian" as a sexuality, but more of a phase. it is extreley ignorant.
@@eliseghattas1528 I guess at that time no lesbian would have insist of being treated equal. But i understand what your are tried to say.
Olaf Riedel and lesbians get "converted" in those types of countries. What you rather have done to you? Be put in jail, or raped "to be hetero?"
Elise ghattas and because lesbians are seen by a lot of people/men as just a hot thing; they fetishize us. They think men are the active sexual party, and women are just passive & present as a tool for the man. So they can understand gay males’ active sex role while also not wanting to think/talk/look at it because it’s not hot to them. But women, well they’re just objects, so they think they can say and think whatever they want about us.
Gay men still have male privilege
i'm 100% on board with these white frames
It's the same where I live, in Australia. There are two gay bars/ clubs in my city and only 1 lesbian club, but it only runs once a month. It's already hard enough as it is to meet gay girls, and the night life scene doesn't really help.
Here in Amsterdam it is also a problem..
I wonder if the advent of the internet killed the lesbian bars. They were not just places to drink, but were also social network and community hubs. The internet made much of that obsolete, especially if you consider the lesbian dating apps.
Don’t act like it’s just you. All bars and nightclubs, gay , straight or otherwise, have had a massive overall decline. I grew up in that era and I’ve seen the shift myself. Stop believing it’s just you.
Philly’s last lesbian bar, Sisters, closed a little while back. I just saw an article recently and here is the first paragraph:
“You may have seen some action happening around Sisters lately. The shuttered lesbian bar on Chancellor Street is being prepped to open as … are you ready for this? A straight bar.”
I've lived in DC about 40 yrs & it's true, I've noticed there are many, my more gay bars than lesbian bars. good documentary, tyfs
Gays are 3-4% whereas lesbians are 1-2% of the population.
You are so attractive..Just wanted to shout out the beauty.
At the end it comes to money, lesbians -better women generally- doesn`t spend that much money as men do.
How about just making a Lesbian coffee shop instead of a lesbian bar you can call it les-bean.
The only lesbian bar in my city closed recently. I'm married and never went there to date... it's just impossible to find community now. I want to know other lesbians and have lesbian friends, but can't find any because there is no where to meet anymore.
Very insightful. It’s the same here in the Philippines. I’ve ranted to a friend about this same problem. There’s only one bar I know that caters to lesbians and the event runs only once or twice a month. I’m a bisexual women leaning into women. I really wish there were more safe spaces were I can meet more women who love women.

Loved the show, but there was one critical point left out: the move away from alcoholism among lesbians. When I moved to San Francisco in 2013 to find someone, I was told that the new hot spot for it was A.A!
Love this documentary! I used to walk past Meow Mix ALL THE TIME as a young girl. I've always wanted to be able to go and experience it...never was able to. So sad it closed down.
thanks for sharing and for making this doc. I found this because in my town a queer space is closing and someone posted a link to this. also, le tigre and peaches rock.
the bicyclist who was driving them on bourbon st.. his reaction to their conversation was PRICELESS
13:39 the dude by then around is so adorable 😂 he's smiling because of their conversation
Great job on this! Very sad to hear about the demise of so many lesbian bars. As a gay Ally and cis female, I was in many gay bars in Washington DC during the late 70s to the late 80s. Most of my friends were gay men, but I also visited a couple of lesbian bars back then with other friends. I'm pretty sure that I was at the Phase at some point. I had no idea that this shutting down of lesbian bars what's happening. Thank you for this discussion with both everyday people and experts.
Back in the seventies in Cambridge and Boston, we had a women’s restaurant, a bookstore, a women’s center, two bars. We spent all day in the company of women.
This reminds me of Vice before they sold out. Nice one Broadly
i think they're owned by the same parent company idk saw that somewhere
yeah it is Vice
It can be seen at the very end of the credits, "© 2015 VICE MEDIA, LLC"
um.. this is a vice production LMFAO
ooh that one fell flat
This makes me so sad, I haven't been to a lesbian bar since 1984.
She is insanely hot. In like the prince more androgynous way.
oooookkkkk? lol
+Sofia Amaya that just goes out to show ya .. "someone for anyone".....
Emma Sagartz ....totally agree!!
I think that she's gorgeous, but the facial hair is a turn off for me...
I always fancied him? Her. So hot
As a lesbian myself, I am in the mid-30s range having grown up seeing the lesbian community of get-together spots die out... With all the social media people are just staying indoors more often and that is just totally and utterly sad. I personally am not old enough to be considered old yet and I am not young enough to want to just go to those one night a week events... I hope this generation learns the importance of real human contact between others. That they do not lose their humanitylooking into a phone or computer screen and swiping.
hearing lesbians giggle makes me feel alive
Great to see conversations like this taking place in so many different cities, seeing lesbians from all walks of life come to chat about how things are changing in the moment and what that might mean for the future, can't wait to see what else keeps coming up!
Officially watched every single Broadly video. My favorite UA-cam channel now. Thank you Broadly for what you do.
I wanna get the money eventually and open up a lesbian coffee shop called "The cat's pajamas" just because
lmbo 12:18
lesbeesh?
NOOOOOOO
yeah right lol
I literally JUST went to a lesbian bar in NYC and it wasnt Henrietta Hudsons...it had been there for a long time. If the girl in this documentary is from NY I find it hard to believe that she doesn't know there ARE other lesbians bars in NYC. Its definitely sad that we don't have as many places to go out especially when there are a million gay bars, but I was just disappointed that she didn't include the other bars that 100 percent do exist.
Greenwich St, right?
I went in 1996.
Too sad
What are they called? I've lived in NY my whole life, and I have difficulty finding them.
@@punkgrl325 I saw a comment talking about "Cubbyhole" and "Ginger's" if that may help
There is also My Sisters Room in Atlanta. It's a lesbian bar that has been in Atlanta for years. and it's honestly the only lesbian bar.
I know these things have been commented on, in barious places, but I don't think I've seen so many of the angles and dimensions to this brought together in one video or one article, etc.
This is such a vivid picture. Thank you for putting this together.
It's sad that the community is losing spaces to meet, but I hope something will come up to take their places or fill in the gap left by these bars closing.
Loved this. I learned a lot... some sad / some really inspirational / some herstory. Thank you.
12:04 That dog is such a good boy. I saw him on my trip to New Orleans and it made my day.
Kind of loving the mustache
I'm near chicago and the only thing you can find are male gay bars or trans shows. There are 0 lesbian bars that I know of. It's disappointing
"not everyone identifies as a lesbian anymore and this is a beautiful thing"
??????????
:/ I know, I heard this and I was... extremely iffy
I think she means that people are more open to embracing other identities which weren't options for them before. Like how lots of butch lesbians later have come out as trans men.
maeve s. holy shit is your name Maeve? that’s my name!!
LOL hey other Maeve :)
maeve s. but is your name seriously Maeve?
None of these explanations make sense. Are they saying ALL the lesbians paired up and moved to the suburbs? So what happened to all the hip young lesbians? Why aren't they filling those spaces? Have we stopped making them or something?🤔
More of this visiting some other locations would be awesome! Kept hoping to see Sue Ellen's in Dallas before reading the description and realizing it was only 4 cities.
Should've come to Seattle! There's still a decent scene up here.
Paracosm Films ayyeeee! I live in Seattle too!
mmmm. except its clique'y as all hell.
There used to be multiple lesbian bars in Tulsa and they all shut down a few years ago. All at once. Even the gay bars closed now too.
I work in a nightclub here in San Francisco, where many LGBTQ+ folks work. When the Lexington closed a few years ago, it felt like the heart of San Francisco had truly finally stopped beating. RIP Lex
I did not expect this to be so entertaining, informative and just as poignant. A fantastic docu
I thought a gay bar was for gay men and lesbians. I had no idea the lesbian bars were separate and that women felt more comfortable there. I'm so glad I watched this.
It's probably because lesbians date more and when in relationship they don't go to the bar as much?
We have a lesbian bar here and it literally went out of business until it re-opened with gay men in mind. Now it's busy af all the time.
One of the best documentaries I have seen
Maybe I'm a bit younger so I'm part of a different scene, but I usually go to Town in DC (only went to Phase once when I still had a fake ID) for their 18+ nights and while I'm p annoyed by the presence of bachelorette parties, there's usually a pretty fair sprinkling of lesbians (myself included), I'd say about four lesbians for every six gay men, which isn't the best ratio, but it's not that bad. Lesbian bars would be fantastic, I definitely would go to one if I could, but I feel like spaces that are entirely LGBT (so not just catered to gay men, lesbians, etc.) are perfectly great and a fantastic way to feel at one with the community. This was still sad to watch, Phase One has since closed down permanently.
This is excellent reporting. Congratulations, and compliments to all involved on the great production values - and for the interesting, well-told story.
The last lesbian bar in the French Quarter was the re-opened Rubyfruit Jungle on Decatur behind the French Market. It closed in, I want to say, 2007? 2008? Maybe it was Laura's. They just never drew a crowd. They took over the space from the last goth club in NO, and the lesbians didn't show up, so they started having goth nights to bring SOMEONE in, and it eventually reverted to being goth again.
Even that's gone, now. It's just another bar.
There is a city in the NW...actually two...Portland and Seattle...if you want lesbian bars, go there.
The Egyptian in Portland OR
Wild Rose is the only one I know in Seattle. Are there more?
@@Joe-pb3bm Egyptian closed years ago
Gay men are more likely to be searching for easy hookups and bars are still a good place for that. Gay women are more likely to be searching for relationships and they no longer need bars for that. Or maybe society is more accepting of homosexual women, so they can go to straight clubs and bars without facing discrimination - lesbian bars become obsolete?
I LOVE the host's aesthetic so much
Wow! I loved Le Tigre growing up. I’m so happy she is the host :)
I've watched a lot of really solid, good videos tonight. But this one is easily my favorite for a number of reasons.
[I hope I don't step on any toes by talking about gay men's bars in the comments of a video about lesbian bars disappearing. But, some things in the video reminded me of my experiences and they seem related. I'm more than happy to take criticism and make changes in the future.]
I'm male and bi and spent twenty+ years getting over my personal BS about my sexuality. In the town I live in, a small Arkansas college town, there used to be three gay bars at one time here; plus another bar that had an lgbtq night once a week. Once I felt like I really was over my problems with the BS of society, I started spending time going to the gay bars. I had bad timing.
The bars here all were already on the way out. And it wasn't long after I started going that they all closed. Even the once a week dance night ended and that used to be HUGE.
One of the bars that closed was fairly quickly bought by some other folks and turned into a gay bar. Yay! ...wait, it's a 'diversity bar.' I'm totally cool with that concept. But, I quickly started noticing that this place was really boring. I mean, like junior high dance boring. It literally felt like I was at a junior high dance sometimes.
My memories of gay bars when I was in my twenties was of how unconventional the whole experience was. Besides being queer, I'm pretty much abnormal in every other way for my area. So, the gay bars were fantastic. Except, I was still dealing with my issues. Sigh....
The diversity bar drove me crazy for a bit. I would go and spend my whole night trying to figure out what had happened to the bars I used to love. And one night it just hit me; these gays and lesbians were NORMAL.... The gay community is, itself, becoming gentrified! At least in my southern small town area,, that seems to be what has happened.
The community that I used to be able to identify with for reasons beyond sexuality, non-conformity, had started basically being like the other normal people in the area.
I always didn't belong here. But now that that last beautiful bastion of weirdness has gone, I've never been so lonely. It's definitely time to go.
I want a lesbian only café!
It’s called a cat cafe.🐈
@@Lola_Nico I was thinking "El Gato Flamenco" basically a cat with a apanish guitar in the logo and cute cat decor on the inside and soft guitar music playing in the background. A couple of cats around the tables and waiters dressed in a cute flamenco vibes uniform.
Pd I dance flamenco, i guess that's why I envisioned it that way 😅
I love her so much it's difficult to express in words rather than some combination of wild flailing semaphore and/or aggressively expressive mime
Wow. What an eye opener... now I know what I am going to do with my extra funds. Lesbian and Gay bars , saved me, so to speak back in the day. In Phoenix in the 80’s and 90’s there were 4 bars I can think of right now off the top of my head that I went to just about every weekend. I love to dance and love the night life ... I had no idea these venues were dying out. I do believe very much In community, dancing and DJ s ( I was one) and events. Some place to go and let your hair down, people watch, and strike up friendships in 3D Rather then the autonomy of a keyboard and 2D monitor.
Every city I've ever lived in has lost ALL of their women-centric bars. Truly sad. Houston, Portland, Denver, Austin --all are GONE!
Pearl Bar in Houston is a lesbian/women-centric bar. The thing with Austin is that they want seem like its accepting but the gay scene is very bro-centric.
Shame she didn't come to Houston. Very diverse and eclectic, yet effected just as well. xoxoxo
she could have visited pearl :')
True it is very multicultural
right on! I spent my 20s in San Francisco. The Q club parties, Mango bar, the Café (and comfort zone in Oakland) were rocking! I miss those times. Thanks for this video. Very well done.
This was actually pretty interesting.
I laughed so hard at 12:15, she probably thought these women were lesbians.. Turns out they don't even know the word lesbian..
So I guess Vice didn't turn to complete shit, they just passed on all the class to you guys. The host is a cutie.
This is my favorite channel, honestly
I agree that we need more lesbian bars. I live in NC (worst possible place for a lesbian to live) and have yet to find the one. All the girls here are either straight or just use me. I know there have to be so many women out there that would be wonderful with me but I just don't know where to find them. I desperately want someone who genuinely wants an honest, deep, loving relationship based on more than using each other and getting fucked up.
it is like they always say when you stop looking you'll meet someone
Hi, I’m a none conformist, my girlfriend and I wanted to remind you of the Cuby Hole in NYC!!! Xoxox
I feel like all “lgbt friendly” bars are just gay bars too... I only ever meet straight girls or gay men there
Everyone is talking about JD's stash, but why aren't we talking about how the biker was just laughing at the make out conversation lol
I say this shit all the time--lesbians just dont party. In DC we once had a great lesbian bar called "Lace" which was a friendly space for black lesbians. They had poetry nights, and it was a super cute spot. It closed unfortunately, but I truly wish there were more spaces for black lesbians.
Even in places like Tel Aviv, there are no lesbian bars. If we're lucky, we'll get the occasional "Ladies night" one a month.
I love the host omg she's so cute
Ewww why though...
If y’all ever visit DC, they just opened up a lesbian bar called A League of Her Own. Check it out-it’s awesome!
