There used to be several. Chances, Lola's, that piano bar place that used to be on W. Alabama/can't remember the name of it... |

Sammy's on Main is also closing. They claim it's a 6 month hiatus or something, but I find it hard to believe that place is coming back.
Maybe the nightlife bubble is bursting?

Lola's is still around. I never thought of it as a lesbian bar, more of an equal-opportunity establishment for degenerates. The cockroaches will be bellying up to Lola's for $2 Tuesdays after the nuclear holocaust. There are certainly plenty of lesbian friendly bars, Lola's Griff's and Next Door Bar to name a few, but Chances was the only lesbian-dedicated bar that I knew of. |

That's a shame, that was one of the few "midtown" places I enjoyed going to. After Katrina Kermit Ruffins played there a few times a week until he could move back to New Orleans. |

Well, I'm not sure if Lola's ever advertised itself as "lesbian-dedicated", but it certainly was lesbian-dominated, even if it wasn't formally advertised that way. At least back in the day. I haven't been there in 20 years, so like everything, I'm sure it's changed. |

I forgot what your stance on that term was. An exciting moment of geographic innovation, right? |

Onion Creek can be lesbian friendly (I almost wrote "lesbian heavy". ahem.) on some nights, Mondays in particular.

my favorite description of Lola's is the one currently in the Houston Press's blurb which described Lola's in terms of the Nick Cage movie 8MM. It's just a really creepy place these days. |

Washington disagrees, though I imagine that bubble will burst too. Crazy expansion these last few years. |

It just moves around, see the Richmond strip of the 90s. EaDo will be next once Washington fizzles, which on turn replaced "Midtown." |

It was creepy back in the day too. Those weren't your average, run of the mill, lipstick-wearing lesbians. |

Rarely could there be two more different establishments with similar names. Though for full accuracy the restaurant on Yale is Lola while the dive on fairview is Lola's Depot. |

Will it be an all-ages gay/lesbian bar? Because they already have those. |

Not since they ran out of Shiner and cost the Astros the World Series. |
