The Lodge is not a strictly gay establishment, but you'll always see plenty of
friendly faces, whether you're there for fabulous dinners, Sunday brunch, wine
tastings or a reasonably priced lunch. The setting is a log cabin/hunting lodge,
with the prettiest deck/view in town. The food and service are totally
gourmet, and first class in every way! Rainbow Lodge is located at 2011 Ella at

EVO Lounge
There appears to be a new lesbo bar in town - hallelujah! Evo Lounge is lcoated
in midtown, at 2707 B Milam. I haven't checked it out yet, but here is what
their website says: Unlike any other club you have seen. EVO Lounge brings in a
exclusive crowd and un-matched service, including live DJ entertainment playing
a energetic mix of rock, house, retro, disco, dance, and hip hop to satisfy and
keep the dance floor moving.

F Bar
This is the classiest bar in town, and it has a great patio too (with misters to
help cool it down in the summer and a firepit to warm it up in what passes for
winter here!). Although it is predominantly men, the staff and the guests are
VERY welcoming to lesbians! F Bar is located at 202 Tuam, just a block east of
meteor.

Meteor
If you are looking for a classy, up-scale environment with a clientele to match,
then Meteor is the bar for you! Although it definitely attracts more men than
women, us gals of the lebezianic persuasion have always been treated well there
(at least in my experience). Meteor is located at 2306 Genesee at the
northwest corner of Fairview and Genesee.

Brazos River Bottom (BRB)
The BRB is pure country, for sure! This is primarily a men's bar, but you'll see
a lot of women on Friday nights, and a scattering of women on Saturdays. Free
C&W dance lessons each Thursday night and several times a month on Fridays
(check the Social Notes calendar page for the Friday schedule). The bar is
clean, well run and attracts a decent clientele. BRB is located at 2400 Brazos
Street, behind Spec's Midtown.

Guava Lamp
Guava Lamp is not a women's bar (indeed, they turned down the opportunity to
host Professional Women's Happy Hours) but there are lots of women who enjoy
this little hideaway off Waugh close to Allen Parkway. Guava Lamp is a big step
up from Chances decor, but not as elegant as meteor. Still, it's a nice enough
place to grab a drink. Get more info and directions here.
