Queer Hangout Spots
Fave spot in Boystown to party with queer women of color !! Come hear when youre ready to DANCE they have a ton of cool themed nights and its always a blast.
Scarlet Bar
Super good Boba here + u can take cute pics in the (gender neural!) bathrooms ! Chill place to study and they have weekly artsy hangout nights.
Warning: strong incense/tea smells if youre sensory sensitive it may not be the best <3
Eli Tea Bar
SO MANY COOL LESBIAN EVENTS I always have great chats with people here, and they have a few free tickets for bipoc and trans folks for their events if you get them early :3
GARDEN OF (@gardenof.collective)
I saw Rio Romeo here and it was awesome! The tickets for the show were cheap but watch out for the drink prices 💀
