Buenos Aires is one of the most gay-friendly (LGBTQ) cities in South America. Buenos Aires is inclusive in every way. For instance: same-sex activity is legal in Argentina since 1887! Way ahead at that time. In this article, I give you the best LGBTQ Gay & Lesbian clubs and bars in Buenos Aires with all the information. (Directions, names, dates, locations).
Mostly you can find gay clubs and bars in areas with the name Soho. Here in Buenos Aires, gay clubs and bars are spread out in the city. However, Palermo Soho is seen as the most gay-friendly area in Buenos Aires. Walking hand-in-hand as two men or women is perfectly fine. So, be and feel yourself in Buenos Aires.

When a lesbian thinks of Los Angeles, probably the first thing that comes to mind is The L Word. Even though a lot of their hangouts spots, such as The Planet, were not real locations, some of them were definitely based on locations in the city.
Los Angeles has been gay for many, many years. Way before the colonists came and took the land, the indigenous peoples living on the land that is now Los Angeles were very accepting of same-sex relationships and the idea of multiple gender identities. However, this was all taken away when the land was invaded.
West Hollywood is the most visibly gay neighborhood in the city, with rainbow flags hanging outside nearly every building. Although most clubs and bars in this area are mostly for men, you will still see a lot of women if you go to the right place at the right time.
The last lesbian bar in Los Angeles, The Palms, which was located in West Hollywood, closed down in 2013. The last remaining lesbian bar in all of Los Angeles County, the Oxwood Inn in the San Fernando Valley, closed down in 2017.
If you thought there was only a lack of lesbian bars in LA, the same goes for lesbian clubs. There is not specifically a club that is for lesbians only, but there are some mixed places that are fun to go to for women as well.
Nowadays, the place is a club, a bar, a restaurant, and it even has a pastry shop! With two dance doors, indoor and outdoor bars and a huge indoor- and outdoor seating area, it is a place for everyone.
There are two different rooms to dance in, so you can either choose for hip-hop or for Latin. Make sure you get here on time since before midnight you only pay a $10 cover fee and $20 after. If you want more info, check out @thirstweho.
DJ P-Nasty organizes lesbian events called Taste. These are usually parties of a somewhat bigger scale held all over the city in venues that have multiple rooms that play different genres of music, live dancers, food and more.
Cuties is the only LGBTQ+ coffee shop in Los Angeles. You can always come here for some coffee and a good lunch, but they also organize events, such as Queer, Coffee & Donuts, meeting spaces, parties, and pop-ups.

A lesbian bar (sometimes called a "women's bar") is a drinking establishment that caters exclusively or predominantly to lesbian women. While often conflated, the lesbian bar has a history distinct from that of the gay bar.
Lesbian bars predate feminist spaces such as bookstores[1] and coffeehouses,[2][3][4] and contemporary LGBT services such as community centers and health care centers. While few lesbian-specific bars exist today, lesbian bars have long been sites of refuge, validation, community, and resistance for women whose sexual orientations are considered "deviant" or non-normative.[5] They have been spaces for intergenerational community building, where women had the opportunity to come out without being "outed", which can result in the loss of jobs, family, and social status.[5][6] They could, however, also be sites of intense isolation.[5]
While women in the United States have historically been barred from public spaces promoting alcohol consumption, women's saloon presence rose in the 1920s. Prohibition's speakeasies allowed women to drink publicly more freely.[7]
Meanwhile, in Weimar Germany, lesbian bars and night clubs were numerous, especially in Berlin. Entrepreneur Elsa Conrad ran several venues which catered to a lesbian intellectual elite. Her bar, Mali und Igel hosted guests such as Marlene Dietrich.[8][9] Lotte Hahm was another lesbian activist of that era who created the popular bar Violetta and other events.[10] In Paris during the 1920s, photographer Brassai brought attention to the underground lesbian bar scene with his photographs of customers at Le Monocle.[11][12] Parisian bars and brasseries for lesbians were numerous in Montmartre as far back as the late 1800s and early 1900s; among them were Le Rat Mort, La Souris and the Hanneton.[13][14]
San Francisco's Mona's 440 Club, opened in 1936, is widely cited as the first lesbian bar in the United States.[15] In the 1950s, bars began to emerge for working-class lesbians, white and black.[5][16] Very characteristic of these (often referred to as "Old Gay"[17]) bars was binary heterosexist models of coupling and an enforcement of a (white) butch/femme or (black) stud/femme binary.[18] Because of a lack of economic capital and segregation, house parties were popular among black lesbians.[19] Lesbians who changed roles were looked down upon and sometimes referred to as "KiKi" or "AC/DC".[20][21] Out of this early organizing of lesbians came the homophile movement and the Daughters of Bilitis.[21]
In the 1960s, with the rise of the gay liberation movement and an increasing identification with the term and identity "lesbian", women's bars increased in popularity. The 1970s saw the rise of lesbian feminism, and bars became important community activist spaces. Some lesbian bars in the U.S. also supported women's softball teams.[23]
Homosexual acts were illegal in the United States until gradual decriminalization from 1962 to 2003, and police raids were a risk at places where lesbianism was considered criminal indecency.[citation needed] Undercover[16] and off-duty police officers[5] have terrorized lesbian bars since their inception. Lesbians could be harassed and detained by the police for publicly gathering in a place where alcohol was being served, dancing with someone of the same gender, or failure to present identification.[5] Some San Francisco bar owners banded together in the Tavern Guild to fight back against this, collecting funds to defend patrons who had been arrested in raids.[21]
Men were often the landlords of lesbian bars, in order to secure liquor licenses and navigate relationships with the police and the Mafia.[24][25] Bar owners often bribed police to warn them just prior to raids, upon which they would turn on the lights in the bar and lesbians would separate.[5]
As a form of protection, some bars covered their windows, did not have identifying signage, or could only be entered through a back door.[5] Some bar owners tried membership-based models, which heightened security but was also exclusionary.[5][18]
In addition to drinking, lesbian bar culture has also revolved around community building, dancing, and pool playing. This targeted but not lucrative patronage was not always profitable and caused many bars to shut their doors.[5]
These pieces of history are being lost as the "neighborhood lesbian bar" is increasingly unable to make rent payments, and as gentrification contributes to declining patronage. Gay male bars persist as gay men have more economic capital, and the rise of internet dating culture is displacing the cultivation of intergenerational lesbian communities historically created in lesbian bars.[6] Because lesbian women are more likely to be primary caretakers of children than gay men, lesbian neighborhoods take on a different shape than gay neighborhoods, and as a result, lesbian night life decreases.[26]
Along with the increased mainstreaming of LGBTQ culture, use of the term "queer" for self-identification, instead of "lesbian", has grown among many younger members of the lesbian community;[27][28][29] and with the rise in internet dating culture, lesbian-specific bars became less common.[18] By 2023 there were only around two dozen in the country, according to the New York Times.[30] In the United States' largest city, New York City, only three remained.[30]
Some lesbian bars have evolved into "queer" bars, welcoming not only lesbians but other members of the LGBTQ+ community.[34][35] In 2021 Henrietta Hudson, which had opened in 1991 as a lesbian bar, evolved into "queer human bar built by lesbians."[36] Mobile, Alabama, bar Herz opened in 2019 as a lesbian bar[37] but by 2022 was welcoming customers with "a range of identities, including lesbian, bisexual, pansexual and more."[34] This rebrand appears to have had little impact on the number of attendees, as Herz closed in 2023.[38] In Paris, the lesbian bar Unity rebranded itself as a more inclusive "queer feminist" bar called La Mutinerie.[39]
