Tips on Avoiding Shady Lesbian Bars
 

You know the story--you're out of town on a little vacay and you and your lovely traveling companion want to visit a local lesbian bar.
So you Google and get a few hits. You visit the first one, and here are things to look for that might be considered red flags. Please add to the list.

1. The parking lot has oil stains on parking spaces the size of Rhode Island.
2. A sign on the front door says, "Please leave your weapons and drugs in your vehicle."

Your thoughts?

I didn't know there were any lesbian bars left.

I had the same thought as Martina. All of the lesbian bars I have known about in the past have closed down. I never spent a lot of time in bars but it's sad.

There are lots of "lesbian" bars. Just go to your local American or Canadian Legion Hall. ... and the beer's cheaper too.

Our lesbian bar here only posts legal signs of no weapons, etc.

The other glbtqi bars do the same.

I haven't really come across anything shady.

the lesbian bars that were here happened to have been very nice places ~ a few were mixed w/ our brothers :) I always find anything ran or owned by woman ( no sexual identity needed ) were fun , clean , well managed establishments.

I've never been to a shady lesbian bar..they've always been a fun, mixed crowd-if I was out of the mix for awhile I've always asked my friends what gay bar had the best music and went there.

That was hilarious! I hear bowling alleys and "straight" softball games also have their share of "confirmed bachelorettes."

I was trying to be funny, but sometimes I miss the mark. :jester:

I understood what you meant,WT,just sometimes I don't run into shady stuff ya know!

Shady?
 

I wish the bars were shadier than they are!

The dive bar - any dive bar - is becoming an endangered species and sometimes when I'm out...I really want to feel like I'm up to no good. Or at least think I have misbehavior as an option.

Ditto to this. Especially the dance clubs- always had a great time. Not a thing shady about any of them.

Oh, and ditto to this. We still have a couple here and I prefer them over a bar with overpriced drinks and a snooty crowd.

Shade is good. ;)

Agreed. Shady isn't a bad thing!

Absolutely and Bravo. I much prefer cheap beer joints full of the lusty, the sexy, and even the semi-comatose whose sunglasses are still on the bar at midnight.

Try running credit at one of those " $12-per-badly-mixed-cocktail" bars and you'll be tossed even before the bill for your Oakley sunglasses has arrived."

I haven’t been to a shady lesbian bar. I have been to shady straight bars when I was young with straight friends. But that’s about it.

Mostly I’ve been to mixed crowd gay dance clubs. There’s one here that won’t let you in unless they think you look good enough to be there. I had no clue they did that until about my fifth time going and someone was sitting outside on the curb because they wouldn’t let them in. Anyway off subject sorry.

I am finding this thread an amusing read though. :)

I wish their were lesbian bars around ~ where else would ya want to wear your booty jeans too !

The lesbian bars here all closed, too. What I wouldn't give for a little hole in the wall dive bar.
