The weekend we went happened to be Bloomington Pride, so this place was packed. A fun mixture of college students, 20 something's, and older folks. You enter through a tall fence off of an alleyway, so I'm guessing it's challenging to find if you don't know where you're going, but that's part of the fun. Of the 4 lesbian bars we've been to, this place wins for best decor hands down. We're talking zebra print walls, stuffed unicorn heads, yonic art, glow in the dark paint. Great vibes. They have a super cute outdoor patio as well, and I loved the little food truck on the patio that opens at 9 pm! Great waffle fries and hot sandwiches. Nothing hits as right as hot cheese when you're drunk. They have tons of fun specialty drinks on a menu behind the bar! Also a great mocktail menu for the sober community! Everyone was super welcoming in this space. The one complaint I have is the Dj... we came here to dance the night away and barely made it to 11 pm because the DJ didn't play any recognizable songs or songs with a dancing beat. There were only around 10 people on the dance floor at a given time. On the other hand, this is the first lesbian bar I've been in that has had an operational dance floor with anyone on it, so that's a win. I can't wait to come back again the next time I visit Bloomington!

Ok. Im biting my tongue some in this review. While i personally still do not agree with charging…read morefor mixers, i absolutely agree this place needs to do whatever is necessary to keep their doors open. Its a safe place to foster community of any kind. They support so many local organizations it makes my head spin. I do know the owners on a personal level. That doesnt sway my 5* vote. They are true women who do care. It is undeniably the best place to dance in BLM any day of the week. They do have great drink specials. Some of the bartenders make the best drinks in town, and its not over priced. Gay, straight, anywhere in between has a home here. Come join us.

Greg's always plays the best music and with the recent Covid lifting of restrictions you can sit at the bar finally so that is a blessing. However,,masks must still be worn if you walking around which is thankfully enforced in a very friendly yet strict way. The bartenders are the best. Aaron and Ken make the best drinks ~ Aaron is really great at Chocolate martinis. Ken is very focused and attentive giving uncommon balanced service to a large crowd with ease which is a very difficult accomplishment in the service industry. Great place to visit and very friendly to all the sentient beings of Earth Ken almost lost the championship but in the end he attempted to create a Chocolate martini and did a super great job. So winner for best bartender in the universe goes to KEN Congratulations Greg's your THE BEST thanks for entertaining my friend without judgement ;) GREAT WORK

The DJ is great and gets the crowd dancing. Definitely support your local Drag scene and culture. Make sure to bring cash though for tipping the Queens but also because that's all they accept for drinks. I did not love the drinks either last time so I had something out of a can last night. I wouldn't recommend a vodka cranberry or espresso martini. Overall a good time if you know what to expect.

I hadn't been to the red room in YEARS and YEARS but was invited to a 50th Birthday party here,…read morewhich I didn't even realize was a thing. So apparently you can rent the facility prior to them opening at 10pm. So the party was from 6-10. You have access to the entire place and the outside area as well. You can also cater in your own food, so it's not like you have to use their contacts, but it does have to be catered, you can't bring in homemade food. You can also bring in a DJ. This particular party had a cash bar but you can make arrangements for it to be an open bar if you would like. The most exciting thing is you only have to have I think a $400 liquor minimum. Well if you have a decent crowd, I'm sure that's pretty easy. I also wasn't aware that they actually have a parking lot for your guests as well.

Modernized yet fun and plenty of seating. It's awesome to sit outside to enjoy the weather and people watching. The back patio offers a bit less traffic but ample seating too and music is pumped overhead. Inside offers a small dancing area, bar seating and another bar. The staff was great the night we visited. They scan your card, hand it back and will close it out with a 20% tip (if you forget to close it). This is perfect so that you don't have to grab your card before leaving. Late hours. Periodic trivia. Fair prices for drinks. Sometimes karaoke. Parking can be touch because it's in the Highlands and only street parking is available.

Don't let anyone tell you different. Mike's Speedway Lounge is a decent place to celebrate a 16th…read moreanniversary, no matter what that 16th anniversary is. (OK, maybe not the anniversary of your sobriety.) It's located on 16th Street in Speedway, so you have numerology in your favor. It's mellow and laid-back, like the number 16. (No one thinks about the number 16, so it has no responsibilities. The number 16 doesn't have to do any heavy lifting like 15 or 20.) It has decent food. You can really just relax at Mike's and settle into the hazy fog of canned beer and fried foods. This bar opens at noon, and like a degenerate fiend, I was there right when it opened. A guy who seemed like a regular sat down at the bar not too long after I grabbed a table, and a beer was placed in front of him before he even had time to arrange himself on his barstool. Then, wordlessly, a basket of food soon followed. Mike's Speedway Lounge is that kind of place: It's where everyone knows your name, and if you're lucky, your beer and food will materialize in front of you with little to no effort. This was my first time visiting, though, so nothing materialized in front of me. That said, the service was excellent. There was one woman working when I visited, and she was opening beers, taking orders, cooking, settling tabs, dealing with deliveries and wiping tables all by herself. She also had time to tell me about the length of her father's grass, and that was a pleasant conversation. By the time I left, there were several people at the bar chatting with the server and each other. It was a nice and friendly atmosphere. Speaking of opening beers: There are no beers on tap here. Zero. All of the beer is in cans or bottles. They do have a lot of liquor, though, so they can make you a little something, if you want. The food is OK and what you'd expect for a bar. Burgers and sandwiches come with fries, which were excellent. Mike's serves crinkle-cut fries, and they are perfectly fried, so they are crispy on the outside but soft and mealy on the inside. I'm a patty melt person through and through, so that's what I got. The patty melts at Mike's are served between slices of marble rye bread, which was a nice surprise, but the cheese is American, which isn't my favorite. We also got the Mike's Famous Spanish Burger, which is a super thick burger patty with tomato sauce and bell peppers. Apparently, it tastes like a stuffed pepper made into a burger. So depending on where you stand with stuffed peppers, you will either love this burger, or feel like you need to urgently use the restroom after you eat it. Your mileage may vary. There's a pool table here, as well as a digital juke box, a claw machine with twisted things in it (I can't even say what those things are, because Yelp would probably flag my review), a racing video game (because Indy 500), and a few machines that dispense pull tab tickets. This is an old-school bar for sure. The only thing missing is the clouds of cigarette smoke. This is a no-smoking bar!

One note, this bar closes an hour earlier than other spots in Mainstrausse. Technically this is the "art district" and not the "bar district." Maybe 7 tables inside, long bar and few tables outside. By the restrooms is a pool table, which is almost always being played. Overall not a big place. But this is part of the charm of the older buildings in Mainstrausse - businesses downstairs and living quarters upstairs. I love this cozy nook of a bar! The bartenders seem to understand the semi-structured suggestions by patrons who want drinks "strong but sweet" or "beer that is not too wheaty" or "something fun" and succeed in creating this libation. My favorite is Bong Water...

I would love to see some more comfortable barstools, but that's just being picky. I totally recommend this place as an option besides something downtown Louisville like Play. Give it a try.
