Boycott is such a fun bar in Phoenix! I came here with some friends while on a bachelorette party and we had such a great time. It was the perfect place to kick off our gay bar bar-hop since it was much more low-key compared to the other spots. The music was so good, the bartender was nice, and the dancer was AMAZINGGGG. We were pretty much the only people there but she was giving us a full show. There was a DJ + a large space to dance, as well as a decent sized outdoor patio. I think it probably gets a little busier as the night goes on, but we still had a lot of fun! read more

I came here ALONE hoping for acceptance and kindness from my fellow humans. I was SORELY DISAPPOINTED. Only the few people who came in as customers during karaoke were amazing and wonderful. The STAFF HERE IS JUDGMENTAL AS FUCK. I just lost a ton of weight over the last year and am very tall, I came in here super cute with my followers. I was trying to have fun while being RESPECTFUL TOWARDS THOSE AROUND ME. I did NOT receive the same treatment at all. They couldn't take ANY of my cards like chime debit or PayPal, also don't have any electronic type pay at all. FYI Kindness is free maybe don't BE the HATE WE ALL see in the world. WE ARE A RAINBOW COMMUNITY FOR A REASON. All I was trying to do was find a SAFE PLACE to chill and you FUCKED THAT UP WITH YOUR JUDGEMENT (and eye rolls). That's on you, especially when I tried to have conversations and treat you with love and kindness but all I got was NEGATIVITY. That doesn't EVER create a conducive environment for LGBTQ+ humans. So CHANGE. BECOME BETTER. Our community deserves it. read more

The owner Audrey prides herself on silencing any opposition to her short comings. They block people and delete comments on their public social media whenever someone has a legitimate concern. Recently many members of the community have taken a stance against the venue's use of AI marketing material and they refuse to respond and just keep blocking people and deleting comments. The place is also falling apart, the drinks are 20-50% more than any other queer bar in town, and the music is never good. I've been coming here for years but I'm done. I hope a lesbian bar that cares about the community opens in the valley soon. read more

I've loved coming to Boycott, and especially when Jimmy Davis Music is the heartbeat of the evening!! From karaoke nights that turn into full-blown singalongs to the glittering Haus of Davis drag shows, Jimmy's events are where the magic happens. I've been to speed dating, variety shows, even the legendary U-Haul party--and every time, I've felt completely welcomed and part of something special. Jimmy doesn't just throw events--he builds community. His energy, creativity, and care for the people who show up are what make his productions stand out. Whether he's hosting, DJing, or producing, you can count on a night that's fun, inclusive, and full of personality. He also has the voice of an angel singing if you get the opportunity to hear him... such a delight! If you're looking for a space that celebrates individuality and brings people together in the best way possible, go to a Jimmy Davis Music event at Boycott. You'll leave smiling, maybe singing, and definitely wanting to come back for more!! read more

It felt like a safe space and the clientele was kind to each other. Drinks are not too expensive, and there was no cover early in the evening. There wasn't a ton of people. And the DJ would often cut songs short, disappointing when you liked a song. read more

I should have known from the name but didn't realize until I was inside that's it's a lesbian bar. LOL! Music was great though and we stayed and danced for a little while anyway. read more

I happened to stumble upon this bar on Pride Weekend and it was the best bar, and I can't wait to come back when I'm back in Arizona!

I've lived in Phoenix for 4 years now, and the one place I've always felt truly welcome is Boycott Bar. The bartenders and staff are incredibly friendly, and the events are always a blast -- the U-Haul Party especially is such a good time! I've got to give a huge shoutout to Jimmy Davis -- the karaoke host and organizer of some of the amazing shows I've had the chance to perform in at Boycott. When it comes to hosting, he's got the magic touch. He keeps the crowd entertained, makes the rounds to chat with everyone, and creates an atmosphere that feels like home. He's definitely a special find here in Phoenix. So if you're looking for the next spot to unwind, sing, or dance the night away, you've got to check out Boycott Bar in the Melrose District. read more

Went here with friends to celebrate pride month. The space is small. They have larger patio which is nice. The staff were friendly and drinks were ok. Not strong enough. Fun place. read more

This is a small but growing bar. Bartenders are so welcoming. The vibes definitely check out during the weekends. They do have drag shows here, not sure what days. Came here to hang out with some friends. Drinks are fairly prices, and strong. Nic was our bartender for the night. Showed my friends and I great hospitality. Even let us play our music until the crowd picked up! read more

Faith, the bartender made our night. She was also the one making decisions about the music and played a couple of songs that we requested. She made me a fun cocktail with blue curaçao, and it was delightful. I love the comfy couches next to the DJ booth. Like many of the bars in this area, they also feature drag shows. They were doing a special "Day of the Dead" show that had a beautiful altar, una ofrenda set up. read more

Great neighborhood inclusive bar. Amazing staff. Great events supporting the community, like Tamales for Toys, raising money for local families. A safe place to be yourself. read more

The owner is rude; and charges for water. Tap water at least should be free to patrons especially when serving alcohol in Arizona. Definitely won't be coming back here. I also don't feel safe there after the dumpster was lit on fire and a patrons car was caught on fire due to this. I feel like they their security is lacking. There are safer bars on melrose. read more

We always a great time at boycott!! the vibe, the people and the jams are always right. We keep coming back!

So happy there is a lesbian bar here in Phoenix! Host lots of fun different events regularly.

Absolutely love this bar. The staff and owner pride themselves and go the extra mile to make all feel safe and welcome. This establishment is a pillar in the community. I have had the opportunity to perform here many times over the years and even through the "big sick" was given the ability to continuing filming my live performance videos for local festivals with restrictions to limit those in the videos to just me, my manager and the camera man. All thanks to Audrey and the boycott team. Audrey doesn't just try to do her best she continues to do it even when in the toughest of restrictions. This bar is our safe space, a home that is warm and welcoming. Boycott always has a door open for you. read more

I've been going to this bar for quite some time now since 2008 Saturday night. I decided to bring some ladies out, but it would cost me to get into the bar and sit at a table. No problem.! I'll pay for one of the women at my table who had a seizure disorder. We asked the DJ to go easy on the lights, but the DJ absolutely did the opposite, it was only about 10 to 15 people in the most was staff this is one club that I do not plan on going back to because if they cannot accept all people with all request not a place I would like to hang out read more

Love love love went to a drag show here and it was amazing!! So much fun and felt so safe
