NYC is loaded with lesbian bars. The most famous is Henrietta Hudson 30+ years in operation. If you have a lesbian wingwoman as a male you are welcomed as not a threat. I go to NYC multiple times per year weeks at a time. From time to time I invite my former student and now best female friend. We went to Henritta’s it was a 40 min wait to get in so busy in a Friday night. I think people underestimate the size of the LGBT community and the fact that they are young, have high amounts of disposable income and like to party. I would not hesitate to open a LGBT bar in one of the local gayberhoods I am positive it would make bank but with the drop of a hat bars could be shut down for any variants opening a bar or any other on site service industry establishment is foolish in this economy. I’ll stick with real estate, and energy industry endeavors both of which have positive upsides at nearly all times.
Yes, lesbian bars, but not lesbian sports bars.
Gay bars in general are going away since younger people don’t segregate themselves, and it’s considered better to be gay. Even in SF, it’s going in the direction.
