In an unexpected parallel, LGBTQ+ acceptance has never been more visible and widespread, yet the number of queer spaces in the US has dwindled. Some blame the high cost of living in metropolitan areas while others lick wounds from the pandemic. And lesbian bars have taken the brunt of this blow.
Even at the height of the lesbian bar scene in the 1980s, there were only 200 dedicated spaces in the US for queer womxn, a small fraction of the estimated 1500 total queer bars operating at that time. Though in recent years, queer femme spaces in the US have seen disparaging numbers, with 27 lesbian bars remaining. Is this a warning sign of extinction?
To answer this question, GayCities spoke with the creators of “The Lesbian Bar Project” Erica Rose and Elina Street. The two filmmakers tell us about their work to support queer femme spaces and contributing factors to the decline in lesbian bars nationwide.
The significance of queer spaces will vary with every person you ask, but for Elina, lesbian bars are as educational as they are fun. “I will meet people who are older, people who are younger, and I’ll feel like I’m part of this ecosystem that will ultimately push me to be the best person that I can be,” she says.
Street says that lesbian bars were the first spaces where she felt free. “They continue to be where I can exhale and be my authentic self with my friends and my community and feel prioritized,” she explains.
As LGBTQ+ businesses shuttered during the pandemic, Rose and Street were shocked to read an article declaring there were only 16 lesbian bars left in America. Sheila Frayne, owner of the popular Brooklyn lesbian bar Ginger’s, was pictured in the article peering at the shamrock decorations hanging on the walls of the empty bar, worried the number might soon turn to 15.
“We needed to make people care about this statistic, ” says Rose, “That’s our job as storytellers.”
The duo was shocked by the declining number of lesbian spaces in America, but more importantly, they felt an urgency to do something about it. Using their tools as filmmakers, they alerted the community with a Youtube PSA, “The Lesbian Bar Project.”
Neither Rose nor Street imagined that their short film would eventually get picked up as a television show by the streaming service Roku. Produced and hosted by comedian Lea DeLaria, the first openly gay comic to appear on American television, the series dives into individual lesbian bars and their unique significance to the communities they serve.
While lesbian bar owners appreciated the spotlight this series gave them, they really needed immediate financial support in order to survive. So the filmmakers crowdfunded almost $300,000, divided equally to support these spaces. “Now we have an estimated number of 27 bars,” says Rose.
They’re hopeful the number will continue to grow, despite the fact owners still face an uphill battle. Not to mention they are catering to a female clientele that statistically gets paid less than their counterparts. “There’s a lot of misogyny at play,” says Street, “It’s potentially more difficult for them [queer womxn] to negotiate with landlords, vendors, and getting a liquor license.”
They urge queer womxn to support these spaces, trusting in the power and magic of spontaneous encounters and being surrounded by community. They estimate lesbian bars serve a population of over 8 million people, so it’s up to the LGBTQ+ community to ensure the number of dedicated spaces reflects that.

To celebrate the resiliency of queer femme spaces and their current renaissance, GayCities put together a list of beloved lesbian bars and hangouts in the US that all womxn-loving womxn and allies should put on their radar:
