I didn't know what to expect when I arrived, as I myself am from out of the area and it was a recommendation from a friend who lives outside of California. Upon going inside, the place was packed at 6:30 PM on a Wednesday, a testament to its popularity despite being a new business. It's always great to see small businesses succeeding, and I hope that this place stays for the long term. I loved the cool lavender vibe, and service was incredibly fast while being incredibly friendly. I believe my server's name was Preston (it was hard to hear over the 90s music that was music to my ears). He was really kind to ask about food allergies, recommended the chicken sandwich with fries, and paired it with a peppery red wine that I don't remember. In any case, the food was pretty delicious and I would come back for it. It was a little pricey, but I'd come back...and I'll be sure to stand in line at 4:45 next time in order to grab a seat. read more

RUBY FRUIT FOREVER! What a safe, open, loving space to come get a glass of wine and a snack. It's welcoming and warm. I love the touch of writing your name and pronouns upon entry. read more

A overcrowded place for it just opening up within the hour + food option was okay + drinks were overpriced in my opinion. A bit of overwhelming feeling to feel everyone is looking for next available seat to be open. I appreciate a lesbian bar but won't be returning here as service was also a 2.5/5 as I felt I had to continuously wave someone down to get their attention. read more

Such a cute little spot in Silver Lake. Nicely curated but small list of wines and good fresh small plate style food. It's a super friendly and welcoming vibe inside but have admittedly found the service/bartenders a little standoffish and cold. Also do not like at all that they serve their wine in these tiny, shallow glasses that they fill very full--does not give it enough room to breathe, they're difficult to carry and spill easily. But the vibes make up for much of this! read more

I have been there multiple times. The service is excellent, they have a great drink menu. I have tried different things on the food menu and its hit or miss. The dessert crumble was soggy, the hot dog and the egg sandwich were salty the bacon however was cooked to my preference. Maybe I should come full that way I am less disappointed. read more

LOVE this all inclusive spot. So refreshing to be at a place for ALL. Had an awesome IPA, pickled veggies, seasoned fries, and an INSANE vegan hotdog. Thank you for providing a safe space for inclusion and equality. read more

Haloumi cheese bowl had so many over the top flavors of 'smoked' it left me feeling kinda ugh. And for the love of god, why are we blasting music at 6pm (again). read more

I'm new to the area it was excited to investigate a new lesbian business. I was very disappointed in the value per dollar. $16 for a cheap wine that came in a juice glass. Seats are not comfortable for conversation. The wine is not great, the food is average and the seating is not comfortable. What is the draw? read more

We were excited to try this place but they didn't make us feel very welcomed. Must've been an off day for them based on all the reviews praising the attentive service. unfortunately we had a totally different experience. We came for brunch after 2 pm on a Saturday and while there were only about 3 other parties, no one greeted us, waved, smiled, told us where to sit or even looked in our direction. And that level of indifference towards us continued throughout our meal. We told the server we would order food first and then get a bottle of wine when happy hour started at 3 pm which seemed to be a great deal ($48 for a bottle of house wine compared to $60) The food was fine I ordered the tuna melt which claimed to have potato chips sprinkled on top but mine didn't. Nbd, it was still tasty. We were given happy hour menus but no one came back to take our happy hour order? No one came by to take our empty plates away or refill our water. We had to go up to the bar to close out once we decided to skip the wine here altogether. For what it's worth, the server that finally took our food order was really sweet. Their shift ended while we were still eating and once they left, we were left hanging. Not impressed with the service here but if you're just grabbing a glass of wine or a coffee it would probably be fine. read more

This place is a complete rip off. $20 a "glass" of wine, that comes in a tiny cup. It's not even a proper glass so they're under pouring and over charging. The food was extremely mid and not worth the price point. Horrible selection of music as well. Just a hard no I will not be coming back read more

The salmon paste with ritz crackers was so amazing and tasty for 17 bucks! Sadly the bartender/server felt like she didn't wanna serve me, or maybe she was just having a bad day. Also the non alcoholic drinks were on par :) read more

Do yourself a favor and get the olive oil cake. It is my favorite dessert I've literally ever had. All the other food is super great though! It's a small place so I like to go before peak hours to get a table. read more

It's very cute, however, the service and attitude of the only lesbian space in LA feels not so inclusive unfortunately. Absolutely no consideration for dietary restrictions, which to me feels tone deaf these days. Only beer and wine but my wife pointed out that they don't have a flight on the menu, why?? It's a very white washed vibe, and the server was kinda snobby seeming. Love the bathroom though. I guess I shouldn't expect the place to check every single box, but like, have something gluten free that isn't a salad without the croutons, you are in Los Angeles after all read more

The ambiance, decor, and service were nice. Food not so great. Drinks and food were both very expensive.

Finally, a neighborhood place to go to. Parking is tough, but it is doable. Food is was terrific , with many Vegan options and the service was superb. read more

Such a cute little spot for the gays! Also, that olive oil cake... I cannot rave about it enough. Beautiful and delicious! I love that indigo girls is always playing in the bathroom. read more

Cute to have a new queer space in the hood, but WHY is no one talking about the wine selection?!! I've been 3 times, and have been incredibly disappointed with all of the wines they serve. For $16 a glass, you must get a sommelier in there to help (or at least link up with the Vinovore team for some guidance). Get that piece right, and there's no stoppin this spot. Food and vibes are solid. read more

Used to be a decent spot but it's gone way downhill. Food not nearly as yummy and the price of the drinks doesn't feel worth it. Service really not great either. Likely wouldn't come back. read more

Came here to try and mingle with people for my friend. Found that pretty much everyone stays in their group, what can you do though? It's an intimate little bar with very friendly staff. The drinks taste delicious, their food menu looks good too, I have to go back for that. Great little bar, I have to go back during their speed dating. read more

My partner and I went here a few times because we really wanted to like the place. The first time was for lunch and the food was okay but the drinks were way over priced. Second time was in the evening with another friend and we were really disappointed. The wine pours were way too small for the price, our server was slow to take care of us, and when my partner asked for more sauce for the fries (they filled it less than half and cold only it for 5 fries) she was treated with attitude. My partner is the kindest person ever so this really pissed me off. So sad that the only lesbian bar in LA is a rip off with poor service. Also, the owners are snobby and the place is cliquey. Please someone else open a real lesbian bar that treats all queer people kindly. They lost our business. read more

This place was delightful! First of all, HELL YES TO A LESBIAN BAR IN LA FINALLY! It felt like such a safe place, friendly staff, friendly patrons, and just crowded enough to be fun and still have a seat and be able to talk to the person next to you (and hear what they're saying back! Lol) We had a few glasses of delicious wine from our lovely server outside the window. We ate the free donuts from the collab earlier that day and a pickle plate (tasty, lots of different veggies!) while we admired the dog with the couple next to us. Their playlist was on point and the atmosphere is adorable. Only thing I'll warn you about is there's no sign on the space except for the front window, so it's not the easiest to spot, but it is in a shopping center, so just pull into the parking lot and you'll find it. There's also some street parking if the lot is full. Definitely plan on returning for a full meal. read more

Such a fun space with the absolute best people. Food is delicious and menu changes often, they host fun events, and are a great central space for community. read more

Lovely vibes, fun events, delicious food, and the servers are hot and kind! The grilled artichoke is my favorite dish - get it when they have it. There are only 20-ish lesbian/queer bars in the entire country - it's extremely difficult to keep them open. So, it's important to support ours!!! read more

The food was surprisingly tasty. Hard to figure out who you are supposed to order from. Parking is awful. Uber/Lyft is the way to go. read more

FINALLY!!! A dedicated space for lesbians! Such a welcoming, beautiful space - incredible staff and THE FOOD IS AMAZING! Don't miss out on the mortadella or the hot dog! Fantastic wine selection! We are obsessed! read more

Our first visit was a lovely experience. The staff was very kind and welcoming and the food was delicious. Our first visit was during lunch as we were in the area during the day and it's a tough commute for us in the late afternoon or evening. The food and wine/drinks were delicious. Maybe the best veggie sandwich I've ever had. The bread was out of this world. Highly recommend. It was low key and not busy in the afternoon so if you're looking for a quiet meetup or date with someone, this is a great choice. I do plan to come back some evening to experience it when it's busier. read more

I've had incredible experiences at this place. It provides a community that I never would have built without it. I'm so grateful to the owners and staff for fostering so much safety and joy for the sapphic community. read more

Cool wine bar. Was the only straight, cis man and the entire crowd was fun and open and social. Good dj. Spendy, but great vibe

One of my favorite queer places to go. Food and service is great and the vibes are amazing!

Most outstanding thing on the menu by far is the hot dogs, both vegan and regular. Given their popularity and tastiness, I am proposing a temporary rebrand in bar naming to Sausage Fest (also, the comedy of this will not be lost on the target demographic) and for you to start churning out bratwurst, pork links, Italian sausages, Andouille sausages, corn dogs, etc. Fully commit to the bit and please at least do a pop up! Keep up the good work and looking forward to trying new wines from y'all. read more

I was super stoked to check this place out and excited about another lgbt bar but ended up having mediocre experience. There was no one in the place yet still our server acted like we were inconveniencing them. Wasn't what I expected and probably wouldn't come back - the drinks were meh read more

Awful!! Terrible drinks, ambiance and customer service. It felt as if they were trying so hard to make it " lesbian " with the gaudy decor that they missed the mark of presentation, experience and quality! Won't be back. Sad really since there are so few places for lesbians to go read more

Great queer place & vibe to work from during the day but I do wish they had more "cafe" type drink options such as hot/iced lattes, teas, decaf coffee. (Luckily Millie's is around the corner and they have amazing hot/iced chai lattes.) The staff were pretty friendly and food was decent. read more

I've tried this place a couple of times, but the wine selection isn't that great and the service both times I went there was unprofessional and really poor. I sat at the counter and not one person who worked there offered any basic service like water. I had to ask for everything myself, and the two people behind the counter were not even friendly or helpful. Sad to say I will probably not go back again which is unfortunate since I was hoping to find a place where I could socialize with other women in our community. read more
